# Introduction

> Discover, inspect, and add MCP configs and servers across your AI coding tools

## What is mcpconfig?

**mcpconfig** is a CLI that discovers and inspects MCP (Model Context Protocol) configs and servers across your AI coding tools. If you use Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, or similar apps, each one stores its MCP configuration in a different place. mcpconfig finds those config files and lists them—shows every MCP server (name, command, args) from them in one view—and can **add** or **remove** servers in one or more configs interactively.

## What is MCP?

The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is a standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources (files, databases, APIs). Many AI coding apps support MCP via a config file where you declare "servers"—each with a command and optional args. mcpconfig does not run or manage those servers; it **lists where configs live**, **what servers are defined** in them, and can **add** or **remove** server entries in JSON and Codex TOML configs.
