How to Set Up and Use Moor
Moor is a local MCP control plane for macOS, Windows, and Linux that aggregates multiple MCP servers (stdio and HTTP/SSE) behind a single unified gateway endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:9223/mcp. It introduces profile-based tool filtering — letting you create named profiles that enable different subsets of servers and tools for different workflows — while recording every tool invocation with timestamps, arguments, and results for observability. AI coding agents connect to the single Moor gateway instead of managing individual server connections, gaining automatic health checks, hot profile switching, and a real-time desktop UI showing all activity.
Prerequisites
- macOS, Windows x64, or Linux (x86_64 or aarch64) operating system
- Download the platform-specific Moor installer from the GitHub Releases page
- For building from source: Node.js 22+, pnpm 10+, and Rust 1.77+
- At least one MCP server already configured (Moor aggregates existing servers)
Download and install Moor
Download the appropriate installer for your platform from the Moor GitHub Releases page. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag to Applications. On Linux, install the .deb, .rpm, or .AppImage package.
# macOS: download .dmg from https://github.com/varandrew/moor/releases
# Linux .deb:
sudo dpkg -i moor_*.deb
# Linux .AppImage:
chmod +x Moor-*.AppImage && ./Moor-*.AppImageLaunch Moor and import existing MCP configurations
Open the Moor application. Navigate to Servers, click Import, then Scan. Moor will auto-detect MCP server configs from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor, and import them into its catalog.
Create a Profile and select servers
Go to Profiles and create a new profile (e.g., 'Coding' or 'Research'). Toggle which servers and individual tools are active in this profile. Profiles let you expose different tool sets to different agents or workflows.
Activate the profile and note the gateway URL
Click Activate on your profile. The Moor gateway is now serving the selected tools at http://127.0.0.1:9223/mcp. Agents stay connected through profile switches without reconnecting.
Point your AI agent to the Moor gateway
Configure your AI client to use the single Moor gateway endpoint instead of individual MCP server URLs. This works for any client that supports HTTP/SSE MCP transport.

"url": "http://127.0.0.1:9223/mcp",

Client configuration (SSE gateway)
Point any MCP-compatible client at the Moor gateway. All servers enabled in the active Moor profile will be accessible through this single endpoint.

"mcpServers": {
"moor": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:9223/mcp",
"type": "sse"
}
}
}Prompts to try
With Moor running and an AI agent connected, you can use all tools from all servers in the active profile through the gateway.
- "List all the MCP tools currently available through the gateway"
- "Switch to my Research profile and then search for recent papers on LLMs"
- "Show me the tool invocation log from the last 10 minutes"
- "Which MCP servers are currently active in the Coding profile?"
- "Run a filesystem search using the files server, then summarize results with the search server"Troubleshooting Moor
Gateway at http://127.0.0.1:9223/mcp is not reachable
Ensure the Moor application is running and a profile is activated. The gateway only listens when an active profile is selected. Check that port 9223 is not in use by another application with lsof -i :9223 (macOS/Linux).
Imported MCP servers do not appear in the Moor catalog
Manually verify that the source config files (e.g., Claude Code's settings.json) are correctly formatted and accessible. Use the Scan feature again, or manually add a server by specifying its command/args or HTTP URL in the Servers panel.
Building from source fails with Rust or pnpm errors
Ensure exact version requirements are met: Node.js >= 22, pnpm >= 10, Rust >= 1.77. Run pnpm install before pnpm tauri dev. The Tauri build requires the system webview (WebKit2GTK on Linux) — install it via your package manager if missing.
