Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: CURATOR_API_URL

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "launcher": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "curatedmcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURATOR_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add launcher --env CURATOR_API_URL=your-value -- npx -y curatedmcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "launcher": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "curatedmcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURATOR_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "launcher": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "curatedmcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CURATOR_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

CURATOR_API_URL env
Override the CuratedMCP API base URL (defaults to https://www.curatedmcp.com). Only needed for local development against a different deployment.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is MCP Launcher safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.1.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

curatedmcp

The CuratedMCP Agent. One CLI to discover, run, audit, and govern every MCP server your AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini) use.

# 10-second risk scan of your machine — no signup

npx curatedmcp audit

Plug it in once. Add servers anytime. Audit and govern them from one place.

What you get

Command	What it does
`curatedmcp audit`	Scan your MCP configs for risky servers (high/medium/low). Zero auth, instant value.
`curatedmcp` (no args)	Run as an MCP hub server over stdio for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.
`curatedmcp add`	Add a server from the CuratedMCP catalog to your stack.
`curatedmcp remove`	Remove a server from your stack.
`curatedmcp list`	Show your current stack.
`curatedmcp init`	Print the config snippet to drop into your AI client.
`curatedmcp guard --`	Run a server behind the local action firewall.
`curatedmcp login`	Authenticate the agent to your CuratedMCP account.
`curatedmcp sync`	Pull your team's registry config and push audit results.

1. Audit (the wedge — start here)

npx curatedmcp audit

Scans every MCP config file on your machine (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, …), classifies each server against the CuratedMCP catalog, and flags:

🔴 HIGH — unverified or known-risky servers with credentials
🟡 MEDIUM — verified servers running outside catalog defaults
🟢 VERIFIED — known-good catalog servers

No signup, no cloud, no data leaves your machine. Logged in? Add --sync to push the result to your dashboard.

2. Run as the MCP Hub

If you use MCP servers across multiple AI clients, you've felt this pain: configure GitHub MCP in Claude Desktop, then re-do it in Cursor, then in Windsurf. New agent ships? Re-paste every config.

The agent fixes that. It's one MCP entry that fans out to every server you've added, in every AI client.

   Claude   Cursor   Windsurf   Copilot   Gemini

\ \ | / / ┌──────────────────────────┐ │ curatedmcp │ ← one config in each agent │ (the MCP hub) │ └────┬──────┬──────┬───────┘ │ │ │ GitHub Postgres Stripe ← add'd once, available everywhere

Add it to your AI client

"mcpServers": { "curatedmcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "curatedmcp"] } } }

Client	Path
Claude Desktop	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (mac) / `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (win)
Cursor	`~/.cursor/mcp.json`
Windsurf	`~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
Claude Code	`~/.claude/mcp.json` (or `.claude/mcp.json` per-project)

Add servers to your stack

npx curatedmcp add github          # prompts for GITHUB_TOKEN

npx curatedmcp add postgres --env DATABASE_URL=postgres://... npx curatedmcp list

Restart your AI client

Tools appear with a __ prefix:

github__create_issue
postgres__query
filesystem__read_file

3. Guard (local action firewall)

npx curatedmcp guard -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github

Wraps an MCP server with a local policy engine that gates every tools/call against ~/.curatedmcp/guard-policy.json. Default policy allows read, prompts on write, blocks destructive.

npx curatedmcp guard --dashboard --port 7878 -- npx -y @some/server

Then open http://localhost:7878 for the live action log

4. Login + sync (for teams)

Once you have a CuratedMCP account, link the CLI to it:

npx curatedmcp login                  # paste a registry key from your dashboard

npx curatedmcp sync # pull team registry config + push audit results npx curatedmcp sync --team acme-eng # pick a specific team if you're in more than one

Sync pulls the locked-down server list approved by your team and merges it into your local stack — so every developer's machine runs the same vetted set of servers.

Config files

~/.curatedmcp/stack.json — your stack, plain JSON, hand-editable, version-controllable:

"version": 1, "entries": [ { "slug": "github", "name": "GitHub", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"], "env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx" }, "addedAt": "2026-05-01T10:14:00.000Z" } ] }

Set "disabled": true on an entry to skip it without removing it.

Other files (created on first use):

~/.curatedmcp/auth.json — login token (mode 0600)
~/.curatedmcp/guard-policy.json — firewall policy
~/.curatedmcp/launcher.json — anonymous client UUID

In-agent discovery

The agent itself exposes discovery tools to your AI client, so you can ask:

"Find me an MCP server for Postgres."

"What's the best Stripe MCP?"

"Add the Postgres MCP server to my stack."

The agent uses search_servers, get_server_details, and add_to_stack to do all of that without you leaving the chat.

Privacy

All config is local at ~/.curatedmcp/. No cloud sync unless you login.
Anonymous telemetry only (event names like "search", "add"). Disable with --no-telemetry or CURATOR_TELEMETRY=false.
Audit results stay on your machine unless you login and run --sync.

Compatibility

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, OpenAI Agents — anything that supports MCP over stdio.
Node.js ≥ 18.

Migrating from the old packages

The agent replaces three earlier packages, which are now deprecated:

Old	New
`@curatedmcp/launcher`	`curatedmcp` (no args) / `curatedmcp add` / `curatedmcp list`
`@curatedmcp/auditor` (aka `mcp-audit`)	`curatedmcp audit`
`@curatedmcp/sentinel` (aka `sentinel`)	`curatedmcp guard`

A launcher bin alias is kept for back-compat.
