mcp-serverman: A MCP Server Configuration Manager

PyPI - Version PyPI - Downloads PyPI - License

A command-line tool to manage Claude MCP servers configuration with version control and profiling. Now also has a companion mcp server to let llms config for you.

[!IMPORTANT]
I always recommend making a manual backup of the mcp configuration before making any changes. Although I tried to cover some error handling in the code, it is definitely not inclusive.

:floppy_disk:Installation

pip install mcp-serverman 

or from GitHub for the latest debug version:

pip install git+https://github.com/benhaotang/mcp-serverman.git

Should be available on Windows, Linux(tested) and MacOS. If the path for a certain platform is wrong, open an issue.

:computer: Cli usage

After installation, you can use the mcp-serverman command directly in terminal:

# Display help message
mcp-serverman
# Initialize Client configuration(one time and must be done before using other commands, since 0.1.9)
mcp-serverman client init
# List servers
mcp-serverman list
mcp-serverman list --enabled
# Enable/disable/remove server/server version
mcp-serverman enable <server_name> 
mcp-serverman disable <server_name>
mcp-serverman remove <server_name>
# Version control
mcp-serverman save <server_name> --comment <comment>
mcp-serverman change <server_name> --version <version>
# Preset/Profile management
mcp-serverman preset save <preset_name>
mcp-serverman preset load <preset_name>
mcp-serverman preset delete <preset_name>
# Multiple client support(since 0.1.9)
mcp-serverman client list

mcp-serverman client remove <short_name>
mcp-serverman client modify <short_name> --default
mcp-serverman client copy --from <short_name> --to <short_name> --merge
# Register companion mcp server to let Claude/LLM manage for you(since 0.2.1)
mcp-serverman companion [--client <client>]

For detailed usage instructions, see the manual.

:robot: Install as a mcp server

# Install companion (since 0.2.1)
mcp-serverman companion [--client <client>]

:checkered_flag:Roadmap

  • [x] Add support for other MCP-Clients, e.g. Cline and MCP-Bridge (since 0.1.9)
  • [x] Update the code to be more modular and easier to maintain (since v0.2.0)
  • [x] Added our own mcp-server to let Claude/LLM manage for you (since 0.2.1)
  • [ ] Better error handling tests
  • ~~Integration with other MCP server install tools, e.g. Smithery, or with predefined installation templates (should iron out safety issues first)~~ We have so many mcp marketplaces now, just use mcp-installer package and instruct the model to install it for you.
  • ~~Maybe a Web UI via Flask?~~
