Overview

MCPDog is a comprehensive MCP server manager that acts as a proxy layer, allowing users to configure multiple MCP servers through a single interface instead of configuring each one separately in their MCP client. It supports popular MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, offering both stdio and HTTP transport protocols. The solution includes a web dashboard for visual management, auto-detection of optimal protocols, and centralized monitoring of all MCP servers.
