About Model Context Protocol Daemon
Model Context Protocol Daemon is a work-in-progress tool for installing, running, and managing MCP servers, including multiple instances. Its documented progress includes running servers, building Docker images, and fetching packages from GitHub.
Key features
- 01Run MCP servers
- 02Manage multiple instances
- 03Build Docker images
- 04Fetch packages from GitHub
Use cases
- 01Run an MCP server
- 02Manage several server instances
MCP support
Manages MCP servers, with support for running them and managing multiple instances; package installation and a local registry are listed as unfinished.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

Progress
- Protocol for components
- Building Docker images
- Fetching packages from GitHub
- Installing MCP server packages
- Running an MCP server
- Local MCP server registry
- CLI
Development
- Create and activate the virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
-
Install poetry for managing dependencies
-
Install dependencies:
poetry install
Building the CLI

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.
