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

Related MCP server: Coyote MCP Server

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"}

    A3.7/5.0

    Scored across 7 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap: get_info provides metadata, install_all and install_mcp handle bulk vs. single installations, list_installed and list_mcps show different data sources, sync_registry updates the cache, and uninstall_mcp removes MCPs. The descriptions make it easy to differentiate between similar-sounding tools like list_installed (client-side) and list_mcps (registry).

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as get_info, install_all, list_installed, and sync_registry. There are no deviations in naming conventions, making the set predictable and easy to understand at a glance.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for an MCP installer, covering core operations like installation, listing, syncing, and uninstallation without being too sparse or bloated. Each tool serves a clear, necessary function in the workflow, and the count aligns with typical server sizes of 3-15 tools.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set provides complete coverage for the MCP installer domain, including metadata retrieval (get_info), installation (install_all, install_mcp), inventory management (list_installed, list_mcps), updates (sync_registry), and removal (uninstall_mcp). There are no obvious gaps, as all essential CRUD-like operations for managing MCP installations are present.
