mcpm — Universal MCP Server Manager

Install, configure, and update MCP servers across all your AI clients in one command.

npx mcp-fleet install github

What is mcpm?

mcpm is a CLI that manages Model Context Protocol servers — the tools that give AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf access to your files, APIs, databases, and more.

Instead of editing JSON config files by hand for each client, mcpm handles everything: it detects your installed AI clients, writes the right config format for each one, and keeps your servers up to date.

Quick start

# Install a server into all detected AI clients
npx mcp-fleet install github

# Search the registry (1000+ servers)
npx mcp-fleet search database

# Install a curated bundle
npx mcp-fleet install @bundle/webdev

# Check what's installed and healthy
npx mcp-fleet doctor

Or install globally:

npm install -g mcp-fleet
mcpm install github

Project config (.mcpmrc)

Pin your project's MCP servers in a .mcpmrc file and let teammates sync in one command:

{
  "servers": ["github", "postgres", "filesystem"],
  "bundles": ["@bundle/webdev"]
}

mcpm sync
mcpm sync --dry-run --receipt .mcpm/sync-receipt.json
mcpm rollback

Before writing configs, mcpm stores rollback snapshots in ~/.cache/mcp-fleet/rollback/ because Claude Code, Cursor, and other client config files are global/user-level, not project-local. Keep rollback snapshots out of git because they may contain local config values.

For team review flows, see rendered output drift receipts: a safe dry-run artifact for checking which client config files would change before write/rollback.

Registry

The registry contains 1000+ verified MCP servers across 5 runtimes.

Browse at azerdsq131.github.io/mcpm or search with:
