Mcpgo
List, restart, and wrap Claude Code MCP servers from chat so your agent stack stays manageable as you add integrations.
Overview
mcpgo is an MCP server for the Build phase that lets you manage Claude Code MCP servers—list, restart, wrap, and related actions—from your agent.
What is this MCP server?
- Manage Claude Code MCPs conversationally: list, restart, wrap, and more
- npm package @exfil/mcpgo v0.1.6 with npx runtime hint
- stdio MCP transport focused on local MCP lifecycle
- GitHub source at jschoemaker/mcpgo for updates
- Package version 0.1.6 on npm identifier @exfil/mcpgo
- Documented actions include list, restart, wrap, and related MCP management
What problem does it solve?
Managing a growing pile of MCP config entries by hand leads to stale servers, failed restarts, and lost time when integrations break mid-session.
Who is it for?
Power users of Claude Code who run multiple MCP servers and want conversational lifecycle control without leaving the IDE flow.
Skip if: Builders who only use one MCP server, or teams that centralize MCP orchestration entirely outside the agent.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After installing mcpgo, you can inspect and restart MCP servers from chat so your Claude Code toolchain stays reliable while you build.
- Current inventory of configured MCP servers
- Restarted or wrapped MCP processes without manual shell steps
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
MCP sprawl appears while building agent workflows—listing and restarting servers is day-to-day agent-tooling maintenance. Agent-tooling is canonical because mcpgo operates on the MCP runtime itself, not on product features or production metrics.
How it compares
Local MCP lifecycle manager, not the official MCP registry UI or a cloud deployment platform.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is mcpgo for?
Solo developers using Claude Code with several MCP servers who need to list, restart, or wrap those servers from the same agent session.
When should I use mcpgo?
Use it during build/agent-tooling when MCP servers fail to start, configs change, or you want a quick inventory before debugging an integration.
How do I add mcpgo to my agent?
Add @exfil/mcpgo to your MCP config (npx runtime hint), enable stdio transport, then invoke its management tools alongside your other servers.
