mcprack-sync-claude

Keep Claude Desktop (and optionally Claude Code) MCP server configuration up to date from a mcprack catalog.

Install

sudo apt install mcprack-sync-claude
# or from source (with mcprack-client on PYTHONPATH / installed):
pip install .

One-time setup

1. In mcprack, create a personal API token (user menu → API tokens).
2. Configure the sync tool:

mcprack-sync-claude configure \
  --url https://mcprack.example.com \
  --token-file ~/.config/mcprack/token

Settings are stored in ~/.config/mcprack/client.env (shared with the Cursor and VS Code sync tools).

Sync

mcprack-sync-claude sync              # Claude Desktop
mcprack-sync-claude sync --dry-run
mcprack-sync-claude sync --claude-code   # merge into ~/.claude.json
mcprack-sync-claude status

Default target (Linux): ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Only the mcpServers key is updated. Other top-level keys (preferences, etc.) and local-only servers that were never managed by mcprack are preserved.

Automatic updates

Enable the systemd user timer:

systemctl --user enable --now mcprack-sync-claude.timer
