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:
- Fetches my MCP registry from a GitHub repo (so I can update the list without republishing to npm)
- Installs MCPs to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients
- 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"}
