About MCPM CLI

MCPM CLI is a command-line tool for managing MCP servers in the Claude App. It can add, remove, enable, disable and list servers, and it can search for MCP packages. It suits developers who often change their MCP server configuration.

Key features

  1. 01Adds, removes and lists MCP servers
  2. 02Enables or disables servers without removing them
  3. 03Interactive prompts for configuration
  4. 04Searches and installs MCP packages
  5. 05Runs MCPM itself as an MCP server

Use cases

  1. 01Managing several MCP servers in the Claude App
  2. 02Temporarily disabling a server and re-enabling it later

MCP support

The tool edits the Claude App configuration to manage servers. It can also start MCPM as an MCP server with the mcpm mcp command, and add itself as a server with mcpm add --self.

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.
