Overview

AutoMCP is a CLI tool that scans your project's package.json file, resolves each dependency to its GitHub repository, and automatically generates MCP server configurations for popular coding agents like Cursor and VS Code. It works by detecting the agent configuration files in your project directory, resolving dependencies, and adding GitMCP URLs to your MCP config without overwriting existing entries. The tool supports dry-run mode for preview, prevents duplicates, and can include devDependencies if needed.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Automatically setting up MCP servers for JavaScript/Node.js projects based on dependencies

you:Maintaining consistent MCP configurations across multiple projects in a team

you:Quickly experimenting with MCP servers for packages in a new project

you:Does AutoMCP modify global agent configurations?

you:What happens if a package doesn't have a GitHub repository?

When to choose this

Choose AutoMCP when you have multiple Node.js projects with many dependencies and want to automatically configure relevant MCP servers without manual setup.

When NOT to choose this

Avoid AutoMCP if you need fine-grained control over server configuration, work with non-GitHub dependencies, or prefer manually managing your MCP servers.

Auto-detects coding agents and generates MCP server configurations based on package.json dependencies

Note: Tool name inferred from the CLI command, but the README primarily documents it as a CLI tool rather than an MCP server with exposed tools. No explicit MCP tools section found in the documentation.

Installation

Run with npx (no install required):

npx automcp

Or add as a dev dependency:

npm add -D automcp

Usage

# Basic usage
npx automcp

# Preview changes
npx automcp --dry-run

# Include devDependencies
npx automcp --include-dev

# Target specific agent
npx automcp --agent cursor

Configuration

AutoMCP automatically detects agent configuration files:

Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json in project directory
VS Code: .vscode/mcp.json in project directory

The tool will add GitMCP servers to your existing configuration without overwriting existing entries.

FAQ

Does AutoMCP modify global agent configurations?: No, AutoMCP only updates local project configurations (e.g., `.cursor/mcp.json` or `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project directory). It does not modify global configurations in your home directory.
What happens if a package doesn't have a GitHub repository?: Packages without a GitHub repository or with non-GitHub URLs will be skipped. Only packages with valid GitHub repository fields are supported.
