I Built a Package Manager for MCP Servers in One Day

Ever tried setting up MCP servers for Claude Code or Cursor? You end up copy-pasting JSON configs, hunting for package names, and praying the args are right. I got tired of it and built mcpx — a pip-installable CLI that manages MCP servers the way npm manages packages. 3-Line Install pip install mcpx mcpx search filesystem mcpx install filesystem That's it. The server gets added to your ~/.claude.json (or Cursor/VS Code config) automatically. Restart your AI tool and it works. What It Does 50+ curated MCP servers across 21 categories (databases, cloud, dev tools, AI, etc.) Auto-detects your platform — Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or project-level .mcp.json Smart search — find servers by name, description, tags, or category One-command install/uninstall — handles config JSON, env vars, and parameters Doctor command — diagnoses config issues, missing deps, broken servers Beautiful CLI — built with typer + rich for a polished terminal experience Architecture mcpx/ ├── cli.py # typer CLI
