MCP support
Runs locally over stdio and provides its bundled capabilities as MCP tools through one server configuration. It can be configured in clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex CLI.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @bitofacoder/omni-mcp-serverGITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKENSecretGitHub token for the GitHub tools (optional)SLACK_BOT_TOKENSecretSlack bot token for slack_send_message (optional)OMNI_AGENT_MODESet to 'true' to enable Agent Mode (shell execution and file writes). Disabled by default.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEOmni MCP Server 🚀
One MCP server instead of six. GitHub, local Git, Slack, web fetching, persistent memory, and filesystem tools — 15 tools in a single config entry, with dangerous capabilities off by default.

Why Omni?
Setting up MCP usually means installing and configuring a separate server for every capability — one for GitHub, one for filesystem, one for memory, one for fetch. Each has its own config block, its own runtime, its own startup cost.
Omni bundles the everyday developer tools into one server, one config entry, one npx command:
| You'd normally install… | With Omni |
|---|---|
server-github | ✅ built in |
server-filesystem | ✅ built in |
server-memory | ✅ built in |
server-fetch | ✅ built in |
| a git server | ✅ built in |
| a Slack server | ✅ built in |
- 🔒 Safe by default — shell execution and file writes are disabled unless you explicitly opt in to Agent Mode.
- 🏠 Local & private — runs on your machine over stdio. You bring your own tokens; nothing is proxied through a third party.
- 🪶 Zero install — runs straight from npm via
npx.
🚀 Quick Start
Interactive setup (Claude Desktop)
npx -y @bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest setup
The wizard asks for your optional tokens (GitHub, Slack), asks whether to enable Agent Mode, and updates your Claude Desktop config for you. Restart Claude Desktop and you're done.
Claude Code
claude mcp add omni -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_gh_token -- npx -y @bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest
Manual config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI…)
Add this to your client's MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"omni": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_gh_token",
"SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "your_slack_token"
}
}
}
}
All env vars are optional — tools that need a missing token simply tell you so.

🔒 Agent Mode (opt-in)
system_execute_command and system_write_file let the AI act on your machine — run tests, install packages, edit files. Because that's real power, they are disabled by default and don't even appear in the tool list until you enable them:
"env": {
"OMNI_AGENT_MODE": "true"
}
Everything else (reading files, git status, web fetch, memory) is read-only or sandboxed to its own data file.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
