Search, install, configure, update, and remove MCP servers across coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Zed, Devin CLI/Desktop, and more). Supports multi-agent installation via npx add-mcp, the official MCP registry, and direct config editing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MCP Server Management

**IMPORTANT**: After adding, removing, or updating MCP servers, inform the user to **restart the affected agent** for changes to take effect.

**CRITICAL**: Before removing any server, use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm with the user.

## Quick Reference (Claude Code)

```bash
# Install
claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>
claude mcp add --transport stdio <name> -- <command> [args...]
claude mcp add-json <name> '<json>'              # Full JSON config in one shot

# List/inspect
claude mcp list
claude mcp get <name>

# Remove (confirm with user first!)
claude mcp remove <name>

# OAuth login/logout (for OAuth-protected HTTP servers)
claude mcp login <name>
claude mcp logout <name>
```

Options must come BEFORE the server name. As of 2026-04, `--transport http` (Streamable HTTP) is recommended; `sse` is end-of-life.

Plugin MCP servers connect automatically at session start. Use `/reload-plugins` to re-init after enabling/disabling a plugin mid-session.

## Multi-Agent Installation (npx add-mcp)

Install MCP servers to multiple coding agents at once using [add-mcp](https://github.com/neondatabase/add-mcp):

```bash
# Remote server (HTTP)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codealive-ai/ai-driven-development/mcp-management@sha256:f5e9b09bacf6cd75

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.4713c9e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
