Overview

Alph is a CLI tool that simplifies the configuration of MCP servers across different AI agents like Cursor, Claude, Gemini, and Windsurf. It detects installed agents, validates configurations, creates timestamped backups, and performs atomic writes with rollback capabilities—all without sending any network traffic. The tool supports multiple transport protocols (HTTP, SSE, STDIO) and works across different operating systems.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 6 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Automating MCP server setup across multiple AI development environments
you:Managing configuration changes with validation and backup capabilities
you:Simplifying the process of connecting different AI agents to MCP servers
you:What agents does Alph support?
you:Does Alph send my data to external servers?
you:How does Alph handle configuration safety?

When to choose this

When you need to configure multiple AI agents to connect to MCP servers and want a safe, automated way to manage configurations without manual file editing.

When NOT to choose this

If you only need to configure one AI agent or prefer manually editing configuration files, as Alph adds abstraction for a problem that might be simpler for single-agent setups.
