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

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"}
