What is mcpman?
mcpman is a CLI that discovers and inspects MCP (Model Context Protocol) configs and servers across your AI coding tools. If you use Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, or similar apps, each one stores its MCP configuration in a different place. mcpman finds those config files and lists them—and can show every MCP server (name, command, args) from all of them in one view.Quickstart
Install mcpman and run your first commands in a few minutes.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources (files, databases, APIs). Many AI coding apps support MCP via a config file where you declare “servers”—each with a command and optional args. mcpman does not run or manage those servers; it only lists where configs live and what servers are defined in them.What you can do

See which MCP config files exist on your system and their full paths.
List servers across configs
View a combined table of every MCP server from all found JSON configs.
