Command-line tool for managing MCP servers in Claude Code. Supports user and project-level server installation and configuration.
Command-line tool for managing MCP servers in Claude Code. Supports user and project-level server installation and configuration. The claude code mcp management mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 9 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
list — List installed serversadd — Add servers (SERVERS=name1,name2)remove — Remove servers (SERVERS=name1,name2)sync — Sync all servers from configclean — Remove orphaned serversproject-list — List project serversproject-add — Add servers to projectproject-sync — Sync project serversdry-run — Preview changes without applyingInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @anthropic-ai/claude-code on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need 3 environment variables: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, BRAVE_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) - Python 3.8+ with Ansible (pip install ansible) - Node.js 18+ (for Claude CLI)Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Claude Code MCP Management's toolset — list, add, remove and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ksamaschke; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
