add-mcp: Install MCP Servers Across Coding Agents and Editors
Blog post from Neon
add-mcp is a command-line interface (CLI) tool developed to simplify the installation of MCP servers across various coding agents and editors, inspired by the previously released add-skill CLI. Recognizing the fragmented state of MCP server configurations, where each tool employs different config files and formats, add-mcp offers a unified solution by detecting the coding agents in use and automatically writing the appropriate configuration files, either at the project level or globally. Supporting a range of tools like Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others, add-mcp streamlines the setup process, making MCP servers readily available across all coding platforms with a single command. It is designed to be a foundational tool within the MCP ecosystem, encouraging documentation maintainers and builders of agents to integrate it into their workflows to minimize setup complexity and ensure consistent functionality across multiple platforms.
