What is the Metamcp MCP server?

Metamcp becomes available to MCP clients through the metamcp mcp server. MCP Server MetaMCP manages all your other MCPs in one MCP.

What Metamcp does

MetaMCP MCP Server is a proxy server that joins multiple MCP⁠ servers into one. It fetches tool/prompt/resource configurations from MetaMCP App⁠ and routes tool/prompt/resource requests to the correct underlying server.

Key capabilities

  • Compatible with ANY MCP Client
  • Multi-Workspaces layer enables you to switch to another set of MCP configs within one-click
  • GUI dynamic updates of MCP configs
  • Namespace isolation for joined MCPs

Installing the metamcp mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: METAMCP_API_KEY, METAMCP_API_BASE_URL, USE_DOCKER_HOST. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Metamcp sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Maintained by metatool-ai.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the metamcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

It connects Metamcp to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Metamcp directly.
