Import MCP Servers from Claude Desktop

A new command has been added to seamlessly import MCP server configurations from Claude Desktop:

claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop

This command:

  • Automatically detects Claude Desktop installations on macOS and WSL
  • Presents an interactive multi-select interface to choose which servers to import
  • Handles naming conflicts by adding numbered suffixes when servers with the same name already exist
  • Shows visual indicators for servers that already exist in your configuration

Example interaction:

┌─ Import MCP Servers from Claude Desktop ─────────────────────┐
│ Import MCP Servers from Claude Desktop                       │
│ Found 3 MCP servers in Claude Desktop.                       │
│ Note: Some servers already exist with the same name.         │
│ Please select the servers you want to import:                │
│                                                               │
│ > [✓] filesystem-server                                       │
│   [ ] github-server (already exists)                          │
│   [✓] postgres-server                                         │
