history

Project history and usage

mcp-get is an archived command-line tool for discovering, installing, and managing Model Context Protocol servers. Its README describes a curated registry, single-command installation, environment-variable management, and package update and uninstall commands.

Project history

The GitHub repository was created in November 2024 during the first large wave of Model Context Protocol tooling. The README now marks the project as archived and recommends Smithery for discovering, installing, and managing MCP servers.

The project used npm-style invocation through npx, for example listing packages and installing @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search. It also documented a registry contribution path for npm and Python/uvx installable MCP servers.

Adoption history

mcp-get's official history is short but package-manager relevant: it attempted to be an apt-like discovery and install layer for the early MCP server ecosystem. The supplied package facts list Homebrew packaging, and the repository tags show a long sequence of 1.0.x version bumps before archival.

Its README's redirect toward Smithery is evidence of consolidation in the MCP registry space: standalone early package managers appeared quickly, then users and maintainers moved toward broader catalogs.

How it is used

The documented workflow is npx @michaellatman/mcp-get@latest list, install, uninstall, and update. It handled MCP packages that connect AI clients such as Claude Desktop to search, maps, databases, cloud storage, and similar services.

Why package nerds care

mcp-get matters as an early package-manager experiment for MCP servers. Even archived, it records how the MCP ecosystem rapidly developed registry, discovery, and install conventions around npm, Python, uvx, and client configuration.
