Overview

MCP Server Manager is a Python script designed to manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, utilizing Supergateway to facilitate Server-Sent Events (SSE).

To use MCP Server Manager, make the script executable and configure your MCP servers using the provided commands. You can add, list, run, and remove server configurations through the command line.

  • Manage multiple MCP servers with custom commands and environment variables. - Support for both stdio and SSE MCP servers. - Run servers in the background or foreground. - Automatically wrap stdio servers with Supergateway. - Cleanly manage background processes.
  1. Managing multiple API servers for different applications.
  2. Running background processes for server management.
  3. Configuring and launching servers with specific environment settings.
