ls-mcp and mcp-manager

These are **complements** — the first is a CLI inspection tool for discovering and auditing existing MCP server configurations across multiple AI applications, while the second is a web UI for actively managing and configuring MCP servers specifically within Claude, so users would typically use both for full visibility and control of their MCP setup.

About ls-mcp

lirantal/ls-mcp

List MCP Server configurations in your system used by AI applications like Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code and others

Scans MCP configuration files across AI IDEs using directory bubbling to discover both project-scoped and global configs, while analyzing running server processes and detecting exposed credentials in environment variables. Supports multiple configuration formats (servers, mcpServers, mcp.servers, context_servers) and provides JSON output for programmatic integration, making it useful for auditing MCP deployments across development environments.

About mcp-manager

amxv/mcp-manager

simple web ui to manage mcp (model context protocol) servers in the claude app

Provides pre-configured templates for 20+ popular MCP servers (GitHub, Google Drive, Slack, PostgreSQL, etc.) with environment variable management and one-click terminal command generation. Built with React 18 and TypeScript, deployed on Cloudflare Pages, and runs entirely client-side to keep configuration data local. Streamlines connecting Claude Desktop to external APIs, databases, and services without manual configuration file editing.
