Connects to and manages multiple Node.js-based MCP servers, allowing access to tools across different servers from a single hub
Enables connecting to other MCP servers through npm packages using npx commands
Supports installation and execution using pnpm package manager
Built with TypeScript to provide type-safe interaction with other MCP servers and their tools
Supports installation and execution using Yarn package manager
Integrates Zod for schema validation of configuration files and tool arguments
MCP-Hub-MCP Server
A hub server that connects to and manages other MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.
Overview
This project builds an MCP hub server that connects to and manages multiple MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers through a single interface. It helps prevent excessive context usage and pollution from infrequently used MCPs (e.g., Atlassian MCP, Playwright MCP) by allowing you to connect them only when needed. This reduces AI mistakes and improves performance by keeping the active tool set focused and manageable.

Configuration File
The MCP-Hub-MCP server uses a Claude Desktop format configuration file to automatically connect to other MCP servers. You can specify the configuration file in the following ways:
Environment variable: Set the
MCP_CONFIG_PATHenvironment variable to the configuration file pathCommand line argument: Use the
--config-pathoption to specify the configuration file pathDefault path: Use
mcp-config.jsonfile in the current directory

Usage
The MCP-Hub-MCP server provides the following tools:
1. list-all-tools
Returns a list of tools from all connected servers.
2. call-tool
Calls a tool on a specific server.
serverName: Name of the MCP server to call the tool fromtoolName: Name of the tool to calltoolArgs: Arguments to pass to the tool
3. find-tools
Find tools matching a regex pattern across all connected servers (grep-like functionality).
pattern: Regex pattern to search for in tool names and descriptionssearchIn: Where to search: "name", "description", or "both" (default: "both")caseSensitive: Whether the search should be case-sensitive (default: false)
Example patterns:
"file"- Find all tools containing "file""^read"- Find all tools starting with "read""(read|write).*file"- Find tools for reading or writing files"config$"- Find tools ending with "config"
Example output:
