mcp-everything

18 plug-and-play MCP servers for Claude — one install, zero hassle.

---

mcp-everything is a single Python package that ships real, working MCP servers — not just a list of links. Install once, run the setup wizard, restart Claude Desktop, and you're done.

pip install mcp-everything
mcp-everything setup

That's it. Claude can now browse Hacker News, search Wikipedia, look up weather, pull GitHub issues, search Reddit, fetch research papers, and more — all without leaving the conversation.

13 of 18 servers work with zero API keys. mcp-everything setup will only ask for keys when you actually enable a server that needs one.

---

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install mcp-everything

2. Run the setup wizard

mcp-everything setup

The wizard will:

• Show you all available servers in a nice table
• Let you pick which ones to enable (all, free, or 1,2,5)
• Prompt for API keys only for servers you enable that need them
• Auto-detect your Claude Desktop config path (macOS / Windows / Linux)
• Write the config and tell you to restart Claude

3. Restart Claude Desktop

That's it. You'll see your new MCP servers connected in Claude.

---

Manual Install (without the wizard)

If you'd rather configure manually, add servers to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackernews": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.hackernews"]
    },
    "wikipedia": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.wikipedia"]
    },
    "weather": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.weather"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI Reference

# Setup & management
mcp-everything setup          # interactive setup wizard
mcp-everything list           # show all available servers
mcp-everything add <server>   # add a single server (e.g. mcp-everything add hackernews)
mcp-everything remove <server># remove a server
mcp-everything status         # show which servers are currently active

# Dashboard & config
mcp-everything serve          # open web dashboard at localhost:7337
mcp-everything export         # export your config as a shareable JSON file (keys excluded)
mcp-everything import <file>  # import a config shared by someone else

# Tooling
mcp-everything create <name>  # scaffold a new custom server from a template
mcp-everything test [server]  # fire live API calls and show pass/fail + response times
mcp-everything doctor         # full diagnostics: Python, config, API keys, imports
mcp-everything update         # check PyPI for a newer version

---

Web Dashboard

mcp-everything serve opens a local web UI at localhost:7337 — no terminal required.

From the dashboard you can:

• Toggle servers on/off with a single click
• Enter and save API keys securely (stored in ~/.mcp-everything/.env, not in your Claude config)
• Run live connection tests against any server
• See which servers are active at a glance

---

API Key Storage

API keys are stored in ~/.mcp-everything/.env rather than inside claude_desktop_config.json. This means:

• More secure — keys live in a dedicated directory with clear ownership
• Easier to edit — one plain-text file, not buried in a JSON config
• Shareable configs — mcp-everything export produces a key-free JSON anyone can import

The .env file is created automatically the first time you add a key (via setup or the web dashboard).

Adding a New Server (Contributing)

Each server is a self-contained Python file using FastMCP:

# mcp_everything/servers/myserver.py
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
import httpx

mcp = FastMCP("myserver")

@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool(query: str) -> str:
    """Description Claude will see. Args are auto-documented.

    Args:
        query: What to search for
    """
    # your implementation
    return "result"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Then add an entry to the SERVERS list in mcp_everything/config.py and open a PR. That's genuinely all it takes — we'd love more servers!

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines.
