mcp-everything

18 plug-and-play MCP servers for Claude — one install, zero hassle.

mcp-everything is a single Python package that ships real, working MCP servers — not just a list of links. Install once, run the setup wizard, restart Claude Desktop, and you're done.

pip install mcp-everything
mcp-everything setup

That's it. Claude can now browse Hacker News, search Wikipedia, look up weather, pull GitHub issues, search Reddit, fetch research papers, and more — all without leaving the conversation.

13 of 18 servers work with zero API keys. mcp-everything setup will only ask for keys when you actually enable a server that needs one.

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install mcp-everything

2. Run the setup wizard

mcp-everything setup

The wizard will:

Show you all available servers in a nice table
Let you pick which ones to enable (all, free, or 1,2,5)
Prompt for API keys only for servers you enable that need them
Auto-detect your Claude Desktop config path (macOS / Windows / Linux)
Write the config and tell you to restart Claude

3. Restart Claude Desktop

That's it. You'll see your new MCP servers connected in Claude.

Manual Install (without the wizard)

If you'd rather configure manually, add servers to your claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hackernews": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.hackernews"]
    },
    "wikipedia": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.wikipedia"]
    },
    "weather": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.weather"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_everything.servers.github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI Reference

# Setup & management
mcp-everything setup          # interactive setup wizard
mcp-everything list           # show all available servers
mcp-everything add <server>   # add a single server (e.g. mcp-everything add hackernews)
mcp-everything remove <server># remove a server
mcp-everything status         # show which servers are currently active

# Dashboard & config
mcp-everything serve          # open web dashboard at localhost:7337
mcp-everything export         # export your config as a shareable JSON file (keys excluded)
mcp-everything import <file>  # import a config shared by someone else

# Tooling
mcp-everything create <name>  # scaffold a new custom server from a template
mcp-everything test [server]  # fire live API calls and show pass/fail + response times
mcp-everything doctor         # full diagnostics: Python, config, API keys, imports
mcp-everything update         # check PyPI for a newer version

Web Dashboard

mcp-everything serve opens a local web UI at localhost:7337 — no terminal required.

From the dashboard you can:

Toggle servers on/off with a single click
Enter and save API keys securely (stored in ~/.mcp-everything/.env, not in your Claude config)
Run live connection tests against any server
See which servers are active at a glance

API Key Storage

API keys are stored in ~/.mcp-everything/.env rather than inside claude_desktop_config.json. This means:

More secure — keys live in a dedicated directory with clear ownership
Easier to edit — one plain-text file, not buried in a JSON config
Shareable configs — mcp-everything export produces a key-free JSON anyone can import

The .env file is created automatically the first time you add a key (via setup or the web dashboard).

Adding a New Server (Contributing)

Each server is a self-contained Python file using FastMCP:

# mcp_everything/servers/myserver.py
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
import httpx

mcp = FastMCP("myserver")

@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool(query: str) -> str:
    """Description Claude will see. Args are auto-documented.

    Args:
        query: What to search for
    """
    # your implementation
    return "result"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Then add an entry to the SERVERS list in mcp_everything/config.py and open a PR. That's genuinely all it takes — we'd love more servers!

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full guidelines.

Roadmap

Spotify — now playing, search, playback control
Wolfram Alpha — math, science, data queries
Jira / Linear — issue tracking
Slack — search messages (via MCP)
Single-file installer script (no Python required)

Have a server you'd love to see? Open an issue.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Claude Desktop (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
