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. ### Timeline - 2024-11: GitHub repository created. - 2024-2026: v1.0.x tags used for frequent registry/tool updates. - 2026-06: Repository metadata and tags show recent version bumps before the archived status in the README. ### Related projects - Related projects include Smithery, the Model Context Protocol official server packages, and community MCP server registries. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mcp-get - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Package publisher tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/package-publishers/) - Belongs to a package publishing or registry command family. - [MCP tool packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/mcp-tools/) - Mentions MCP or Model Context Protocol. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mcpm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcpm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, mcp, package-manager. - [airtable-mcp-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/airtable-mcp-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [akku](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/akku/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [bower](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bower/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [cabal-install](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cabal-install/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [chrome-devtools-mcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chrome-devtools-mcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, mcp. - [clib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [composer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/composer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management, package-manager. - [mcp-remote](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mcp-remote/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
