Your all-in-one CLI manager for MCP servers and home to an open registry with 1500+ ready-to-use servers. Install, manage, and discover AI tools effortlessly.
MCPBar implements a standardized approach for MCP servers using mcp.json
manifest files. This solution:
mcp.json
) similar to package.json
in npmregistry
directorynpx
, uvx
and docker
This approach simplifies discovery, installation, and configuration of MCP servers across different clients, making the MCP ecosystem more accessible and organized.
The extensive registry is the foundation of an open and standardized MCP ecosystem, enabling developers to easily discover, share, and contribute to the growing collection of MCP servers.
For more details, see the MCP Manifest Proposal and Concept Overview.
# 🔍 Install a server mcpbar install ./manifests/github.json # 🗑️ Remove a server mcpbar remove playwright # remove playwright server # 📋 List installed servers mcpbar list # show existing mcp servers installed on the device
Search for available MCP packages in the registry:
mcpbar search <query> # Search for MCP servers and opens in your browser mcpbar s <query> # Short alias for search
Install a MCP server from a URL (any protocol supported by fetch), file path, or package alias:
mcpbar install <path-to-manifest.json> # Install from local manifest file mcpbar i <path-to-manifest.json> # Short alias for install mcpbar install https://example.com/manifest.json # Install from HTTP URL mcpbar install file:///path/to/manifest.json # Install using file protocol mcpbar install vendor/package-name # Install using package alias
Example:
# Install from a local manifest file mcpbar install ./manifests/github.json # Install using package alias (shorthand) mcpbar i 21st-dev/magic-mcp # Install from a URL mcpbar install https://esm.sh/gh/in-fun/mcpbar/registry/21st-dev/magic-mcp.json # Install using file protocol mcpbar install file:///Users/username/projects/manifests/custom.json
Remove a MCP server:
mcpbar remove <name> # Remove a specific server mcpbar rm <name> # Short alias for remove
View all your configured MCP servers:
mcpbar list # Or use the short alias mcpbar lsEdit MCP Client Configuration
Open the configuration file for an MCP client directly in your default editor:
mcpbar edit # Edit configuration for the default client (claude) mcpbar edit --client cursor # Edit configuration for a specific client mcpbar e --client witsy # Short alias for edit
If the configuration file doesn't exist, the command will offer to create an empty file for you.
Run a MCP server on standalone mode.
mcpbar start <name> # Or use the alias mcpbar s <name>
# Search for available servers mcpbar search playwright # Install the server you want mcpbar install playwright # Verify installation mcpbar list
