Originally filed by @coilysiren on 2026-05-13T14:19:38Z - https://github.com/coilysiren/cli-mcp/issues/32

Comparison with njayp/ophis surfaced a real UX gap: ophis ships first-class installers as subcommands of the mcp group.

  • mcp claude enable|disable|list
  • mcp vscode enable|disable|list
  • mcp cursor enable|disable|list

One command and the editor's MCP config gets the entry written, no manual JSON editing. Today cli-mcp leaves this to add-mcp-style external tooling or hand-editing.

Proposal: add equivalent leaves under the auto-attached mcp subtree. Already auto-excluded from projection, so no risk of self-referential tool leakage.

Open questions:

  • Should this live in cli-mcp directly, or in a sibling cli-mcp-installers package to keep the core dependency-light?
  • Scope: just Claude Desktop / Claude Code / VSCode / Cursor, or also Codex, Zed, etc?
  • Detection: write to all detected clients (mirrors add-mcp) or require explicit target?
