Daniel Rosehill's MCP Installer

Daniel Rosehill's MCP Installer

A personal MCP server that manages installation of my MCP servers across machines. Perfect for quickly setting up all my MCPs on a new laptop or workstation.

What This Does

This is an MCP server that:

  1. Fetches my MCP registry from a GitHub repo (so I can update the list without republishing to npm)

  2. Installs MCPs to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients

  3. Prompts for secrets when MCPs require API keys

Quick Start

Add to your Claude Code config (~/.claude/settings.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "my-mcps": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "daniel-rosehill-mcps"] } } }

Then in Claude Code, use the tools:

# See all available MCPs list_mcps # Install all essential MCPs install_all essential_only=true # Install a specific MCP install_mcp mcp_id="gemini_transcription" secrets={"GOOGLE_API_KEY": "your-key"}
