  • Automatic configuration file path detection for different environments
  • Support for Claude Desktop and VSCode extensions (Cline and Roo)
  • Environment variable validation
  • Generic configuration management functions
  • VSCode extension specific settings (disabled, autoApprove) for Cline and Roo

Installation

pip install mcp-config-manager

Usage

from mcp_config_manager import add_to_config

# Define your required environment variables
REQUIRED_ENV_VARS = ["API_KEY", "API_URL"]

# Add to Claude Desktop configuration
add_to_config(
    server_name="my-mcp-server",
    required_env_vars=REQUIRED_ENV_VARS,
    config_type="claude"
)

# Add to Cline configuration (VSCode extension)
add_to_config(
    server_name="my-mcp-server",
    required_env_vars=REQUIRED_ENV_VARS,
    config_type="cline"  # Will include disabled=False and autoApprove settings
)

# Add to Roo configuration (VSCode extension)
add_to_config(
    server_name="my-mcp-server",
    required_env_vars=REQUIRED_ENV_VARS,
    config_type="roo"  # Will include disabled=False and autoApprove settings
)

# With custom environment variables
env_vars = {
    "API_KEY": "my-key",
    "API_URL": "https://api.example.com"
}

add_to_config(
    server_name="my-mcp-server",
    required_env_vars=REQUIRED_ENV_VARS,

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.
