MCP Manager
Overview
Manage MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers in Claude Code. This skill helps with:
- Listing configured MCP servers
- Adding new MCP servers
- Enabling disabled servers
- Disabling servers without removing them
When to Use This Skill
- User asks "what MCP servers do I have?"
- User wants to "add an MCP server"
- User needs to "enable" or "disable" a server
- User asks about MCP configuration
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| List servers | claude mcp list |
| Add HTTP server | claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url> |
| Add stdio server | claude mcp add --transport stdio <name> -- <cmd> |
| Get server details | claude mcp get <name> |
| Remove server | claude mcp remove <name> |
| Check status | /mcp (in Claude Code) |
Scopes
MCP servers can be configured at different scopes:
| Scope | Flag | Description |
|---|---|---|
| local | --scope local |
Private to you, current project only (default) |
| project | --scope project |
Shared via .mcp.json, version controlled |
| user | --scope user |
Available across all your projects |
Enable/Disable via Settings
Servers can be enabled/disabled without removing them:
// In ~/.claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.json
{
"enableAllProjectMcpServers": true,
"enabledMcpjsonServers": ["github", "sentry"],
"disabledMcpjsonServers": ["filesystem"]
}
Common Server Examples
GitHub
claude mcp add --transport http github https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
Sentry
claude mcp add --transport http sentry https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp
PostgreSQL Database
claude mcp add --transport stdio db -- npx -y @bytebase/dbhub \
--dsn "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb"
Filesystem (Local)
claude mcp add --transport stdio filesystem -- npx -y @anthropics/mcp-filesystem
Troubleshooting
- Server not connecting: Check with
/mcpcommand in Claude Code - Permission denied: May need to re-authenticate with
/mcp - Changes not applying: Restart Claude Code after config changes
