How to Set Up and Use MCP Manager GUI

MCP Manager GUI (MCP Toggle) is a lightweight Electron desktop application for macOS that provides a visual interface to manage Model Context Protocol server configurations across multiple AI clients including Claude and Cursor. It auto-discovers existing MCP configurations, lets you toggle individual servers on or off per application, and supports importing and exporting configuration files — all without editing JSON by hand. Developers who use multiple MCP servers across different clients use it to avoid manual config file juggling.

Prerequisites

  • macOS operating system (the Electron app targets macOS)
  • At least one MCP-compatible client installed: Claude Desktop or Cursor
  • Access to your client's JSON configuration file path
  • The MCP Manager GUI application downloaded from mindfulapps.xyz/mcp
1

Download MCP Manager GUI

Visit mindfulapps.xyz/mcp and download the MCP Manager GUI application for macOS. The app is distributed as a standalone download — no npm install is needed.

2

Open the application

Open the downloaded application. On first launch, macOS may prompt you to allow it to run since it is not from the App Store. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway if prompted.

3

Add your MCP client configuration path

In the app, specify the JSON configuration file path for each MCP client you use. For Claude Desktop the path is typically ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. The app will auto-import existing server entries.

# Claude Desktop config location on macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Cursor config location:
~/.cursor/mcp.json
4

Toggle servers on or off

The app displays a list of all discovered MCP servers with toggle switches. Enable or disable individual servers per application without editing JSON files manually.

5

Add a new server configuration

Use the built-in form to add a new MCP server by entering its command, arguments, and environment variables. The app writes the configuration to the appropriate client config file.

6

Import or export configurations

Use the Import/Export feature to save your current set of MCP server configurations to a file or load a configuration set you received from a colleague or shared online.

MCP Manager GUI Examples

Client configuration

MCP Manager GUI manages this file for you, but this is the underlying format for Claude Desktop that it reads and writes.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/me/Documents"]
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

MCP Manager GUI is a desktop management tool, not itself an MCP server. After using it to enable servers in Claude, try these prompts.

- "List all MCP servers currently enabled in my Claude configuration"
- "Which MCP tools do I have available right now?"
- "Enable the filesystem server for my Documents folder"
- "Show me all servers I have configured across Claude and Cursor"

Troubleshooting MCP Manager GUI

App does not detect existing MCP servers

Verify the configuration file path you entered in the app is correct and that the file exists and is valid JSON. For Claude Desktop use ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. The app needs read/write permission to that path.

Changes made in the GUI are not reflected in Claude Desktop

Restart Claude Desktop after making changes in MCP Manager GUI. Claude Desktop reads its config file only on startup, so a restart is required for changes to take effect.

macOS blocks the app from opening

Since the app is not distributed through the App Store, macOS may quarantine it. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click 'Open Anyway' next to the MCP Manager GUI entry.
