mcp-inator

A macOS menu bar app for managing MCP server configurations across AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and more).

Installation

One-line install

curl -fsSL https://rayjohnson.github.io/mcp-inator/install.sh | bash

This downloads the latest release, installs it to /Applications, and clears the Gatekeeper quarantine flag automatically.

Manual install

1. Download the latest mcp-inator-X.Y.Z.dmg from GitHub Releases
2. Open the DMG and drag mcp-inator to your Applications folder
3. On first launch, macOS will block the app — right-click → Open to bypass, or run:

   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/mcp-inator.app

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://rayjohnson.github.io/mcp-inator/uninstall.sh | bash

Removes the app and its data. Your agent configurations (Claude, Gemini, etc.) are not touched.

Updates

Once installed, mcp-inator updates itself automatically via the built-in updater.

• macOS 13.0 or later
