What it does

MCP Management is an agent skill from CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development. Search, install, configure, update, and remove MCP servers across coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Zed, Devin CLI/Desktop, and more). Supports multi-agent installation via npx add-mcp, the official MCP registry, and direct config editing.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/multi-agent.md`, `references/opencode-mcp.md` and `references/scopes.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Practices, protocols, and skills for AI-driven software development. Skills and safety hooks for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Antigravity, and any agent supporting the… The licence is MIT.

From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

MCP Management loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 868 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: mcp-management
description: Search, install, configure, update, and remove MCP servers across coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Zed, Devin CLI/Desktop, and more). Supports multi-agent installation via npx add-mcp, the official MCP registry, and direct config editing.

MCP Server Management

IMPORTANT: After adding, removing, or updating MCP servers, inform the user to restart the affected agent for changes to take effect.

CRITICAL: Before removing any server, use AskUserQuestion to confirm with the user.

Quick Reference (Claude Code)

bash

# Install
claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>
claude mcp add --transport stdio <name> -- <command> [args...]
claude mcp add-json <name> '<json>'              # Full JSON config in one shot

# List/inspect
claude mcp list
claude mcp get <name>

# Remove (confirm with user first!)
claude mcp remove <name>

# OAuth login/logout (for OAuth-protected HTTP servers)
claude mcp login <name>
claude mcp logout <name>

Options must come BEFORE the server name. As of 2026-04, --transport http (Streamable HTTP) is recommended; sse is end-of-life.

Plugin MCP servers connect automatically at session start. Use /reload-plugins to re-init after enabling/disabling a plugin mid-session.

Multi-Agent Installation (npx add-mcp)

Install MCP servers to multiple coding agents at once using add-mcp:

bash

# Remote server (HTTP)
npx add-mcp https://mcp.example.com/mcp

# npm package (stdio)
npx add-mcp @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres

# Local command
npx add-mcp "npx -y @org/mcp-server --flag value"

# SSE transport
npx add-mcp https://mcp.example.com/sse --transport sse

Options

Flag	Description
`-g, --global`	Install globally instead of project-level
`-a, --agent <agent>`	Target specific agent(s), repeatable
`-n, --name <name>`	Custom server name
`-t, --transport <type>`	HTTP (default) or SSE
`--header <header>`	Custom HTTP headers, repeatable
`-y, --yes`	Skip confirmation prompts
`--all`	Install to all detected agents

Supported Agents

Agent	CLI Argument	Supports Project-Level
Claude Code	`claude-code`	Yes (`.mcp.json`)
Claude Desktop	`claude-desktop`	No (global only)
Cursor	`cursor`	Yes (`.cursor/mcp.json`)
VS Code	`vscode`	Yes (`.vscode/mcp.json`)
Gemini CLI	`gemini-cli`	Yes (`.gemini/settings.json`)
Codex	`codex`	Yes (`.codex/config.toml`, trusted projects only)
Goose	`goose`	No (global only)
GitHub Copilot CLI	`github-copilot-cli`	Yes (`.vscode/mcp.json`)
OpenCode	`opencode`	Yes (`opencode.json`)
Zed	`zed`	Yes (`.zed/settings.json`)

Codex App / Desktop caveats

Codex has two relevant surfaces:

Codex CLI (codex mcp list, codex mcp get, codex mcp login) can see and validate MCP configuration from the CLI process.
Codex App / Desktop threads receive MCP tools only when the app starts a thread with those servers loaded and authenticated. A server can appear in codex mcp list but still be absent from the current model turn's tool list if the thread was created before the server was added, authenticated, or reloaded.

When configuring MCP for Codex App:

Prefer project-level .codex/config.toml when the user explicitly asks for repo-level setup. The project must be trusted in ~/.codex/config.toml under [projects."/absolute/path"] trust_level = "trusted".
For HTTP servers that use OAuth, run:
bash
```
codex mcp login <server-name>
```
Then verify codex mcp list shows Auth: OAuth.
For HTTP servers that use bearer tokens, prefer Codex's native bearer-token env form over hardcoding a header:
bash
```
codex mcp add <name> --url https://example.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var EXAMPLE_API_KEY
```
If writing .codex/config.toml directly, this is the expected shape:
toml
```
[mcp_servers.example]
type = "http"
url = "https://example.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "EXAMPLE_API_KEY"
```
Some third-party installers write http_headers.Authorization = "Bearer ${EXAMPLE_API_KEY}"; Codex CLI may display this as a bearer-token server, but the native field is clearer.
After adding, removing, editing, or logging in to a Codex App MCP server, tell the user to fully restart Codex App. Existing threads can receive newly available tools after the app restart; create a new thread only as a fallback if tool_search still cannot find the server tools in the existing thread.
Verification has two levels:
bash
```
codex mcp list
codex mcp get <server-name>
```
confirms Codex CLI/config/auth. Inside a Codex App thread, also use tool_search for a server-specific tool name (for example supabase execute_sql or render list_services). If tool_search returns no tools while codex mcp list is correct, the issue is usually App/thread reload or the server being configured only in a scope the App did not load.
If project-level .codex/config.toml is not being picked up by Codex App, as a temporary diagnostic duplicate the server in user-level ~/.codex/config.toml, restart the App, and confirm tools appear. Remove the user-level duplicate afterward if the user wanted repo-only setup.

Examples

bash

# Install to Claude Code and Cursor only
npx add-mcp -a claude-code -a cursor https://mcp.stripe.com

# Install npm package to all agents, globally
npx add-mcp -g --all @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres

# List available agents
npx add-mcp list-agents

See references/multi-agent.md for agent-specific config paths, formats, and transformations.

Searching for MCP Servers

When users ask to find or install an MCP server, see references/search.md for:

Official vendor server lookup (always try first)
MCP Registry API queries (fallback)
Known official servers table
User choice template format

Trust hierarchy: Official vendor > MCP reference servers > Verified partners > Community

Adding Servers (Claude Code)

With Environment Variables

The --env CLI flag is unreliable with special characters. Instead:

Add server without env vars:

bash

claude mcp add --transport stdio <name> -- npx -y @package/mcp-server

Edit config file to add env vars. See references/scopes.md for file locations.

Collect Configuration First

Before installing, check if the server needs API keys or tokens. Use AskUserQuestion to collect required values before running install commands.

Updating Servers

No direct update command exists. Options:

Edit config directly (preferred for credential changes)
Remove and re-add (confirm removal with user first)
Use environment variables for credentials that change often

For OAuth servers (GitHub, Sentry): Run /mcp in Claude Code to re-authenticate.

Removing Servers

Always confirm with user via AskUserQuestion before removing.

bash

claude mcp remove <server-name>

For project-scoped servers in .mcp.json, delete the entry from the file after user confirmation.

OpenCode-specific notes

For OpenCode (anomalyco/opencode v1.14.x):

Top-level key is mcp (not mcpServers); each server must declare type: "local" or type: "remote"
For local servers, command is a single array ["bin", "arg1", "arg2"] — there's no separate args field
Env vars go under environment (not env)
Per-server enabled: false disables without removing
Use opencode mcp auth <name> / opencode mcp logout <name> for OAuth servers (e.g., GitHub)
Plugin tool.execute.* hooks do not fire for MCP tool calls in v1.14.x — use permission rules instead

See references/opencode-mcp.md for the full OpenCode MCP reference.

Questions about MCP Management

What does MCP Management do?

Search, install, configure, update, and remove MCP servers across coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Zed, Devin CLI/Desktop, and more). MCP Management is an agent skill from CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development. Search, install, configure, update, and remove MCP servers across coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Zed, Devin CLI/Desktop, and more).

When should I use MCP Management?

MCP Management fits situations like: tasks that involve MCP servers.

How do I install MCP Management in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development --skill mcp-management -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/mcp-management in CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development) into .claude/skills/mcp-management in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install MCP Management in Codex?

Run `npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development --skill mcp-management -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/mcp-management in CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development) into .agents/skills/mcp-management in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use MCP Management in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/ai-driven-development --skill mcp-management -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/mcp-management, .gemini/skills/mcp-management, .github/skills/mcp-management and .opencode/skills/mcp-management in your project.

What does MCP Management need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, MCP Management needs the command-line tools its instructions call (claude, codex, npx, opencode and supabase). Our summary lists: Node.js; A credential in EXAMPLE_API_KEY.

Does MCP Management access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: mcp.stripe.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is MCP Management safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does MCP Management use?

MCP Management is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
