Overview

mcp-manager MCP server

A client-side web GUI that generates configuration and terminal install commands for popular MCP servers to set up in Claude Desktop on macOS, without being an MCP server itself. Reach for it when configuring Claude Desktop on macOS and you'd rather fill in a form and copy an install command than hand-write an MCP server's JSON config.

What it does

MCP Manager is a web GUI - not an MCP server itself - for configuring and installing Model Context Protocol servers in the Claude Desktop app on macOS. It ships quick-setup entries for about 20 popular MCP servers (Apple Notes, AWS Knowledge Base, Brave Search, Browserbase, Cloudflare, Everart, Exa, Filesystem, GitHub, GitLab, Google Drive, Google Maps, Memory, Obsidian, Perplexity, PostgreSQL, Puppeteer, Sequential Thinking, Slack, SQLite, Todoist, and YouTube Transcript), walks through their environment variables and server settings, and produces a terminal command you copy and paste to install. It runs entirely client-side, so your configuration data never leaves your computer.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when you're setting up Claude Desktop on macOS and want a guided way to generate the config and install commands for one of its supported MCP servers instead of hand-writing each server's JSON block. It is not something you add as an MCP server to a client yourself - it's a setup helper that outputs configuration for other MCP servers, does not connect to Claude at runtime, and exposes no MCP tools of its own. Per the maintainer, the fetch, time, and sentry server integrations were not yet working as of this README. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

Capabilities

A configuration screen per supported server for setting environment variables and server-specific options, one-click copying of the resulting terminal install command, and quick-setup presets for the ~20 servers listed above. The project itself is a React 18 + TypeScript app built with Vite, styled with TailwindCSS and DaisyUI (using the Tiempos font to match Anthropic's design language), and deployed to Cloudflare Pages for sub-60-second builds. Source is organized under src/: a components/ tree with a server-configs/ subfolder holding the per-server configuration components, App.tsx as the main application component, server-configs.ts centralizing the MCP server configuration definitions, and utils.ts for shared utility functions.

How to install

To run it locally for development, install dependencies with:

bun install

Then start the dev server with bun dev, or build for production with bun run build. It does not give a separate hosted-instance URL beyond the project's own branding links - running it locally with Bun is the documented path.

Who it's for

macOS users setting up Claude Desktop who want a faster, guided way to configure one of its supported MCP servers - especially less technical users who prefer a GUI and a copy-paste terminal command over hand-authoring MCP JSON config. Apache 2.0 licensed.
