Overview

1MCP (One MCP) is designed to simplify the way you work with AI assistants. Instead of configuring multiple MCP servers for different clients (Claude Desktop, Cherry Studio, Cursor, Roo Code, Claude, etc.), 1MCP provides a single, unified server that:

  • Aggregates multiple MCP servers into one unified interface
  • Reduces system resource usage by eliminating redundant server instances
  • Simplifies configuration management across different AI assistants
  • Provides a standardized way for AI models to interact with external tools and resources
  • Supports dynamic configuration reloading without server restart
  • Handles graceful shutdown and resource cleanup

Quick Start

To enable Cursor to use existing MCP servers already configured in Claude Desktop, follow these steps:

  1. Run the 1MCP server with the Claude Desktop config file:
npx -y @1mcp/agent --config ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  1. Add the 1MCP server to your Cursor config file (~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "1mcp": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:3050/sse"
        }
    }
}
  1. Enjoy it!

Usage

You can run the server directly using npx:

# Basic usage (starts server with SSE transport)
npx -y @1mcp/agent

# Use existing Claude Desktop config
npx -y @1mcp/agent --config ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Use stdio transport instead of SSE
npx -y @1mcp/agent --transport stdio

# Show all available options
npx -y @1mcp/agent --help

Available options:

  • --transport, -t: Choose transport type ("stdio" or "sse", default: "sse")
  • --config, -c: Use a specific config file
  • --port, -P: Change SSE port (default: 3050)
  • --host, -H: Change SSE host (default: localhost)
  • --tags, -g: Filter servers by tags (see Tags section below)
  • --help, -h: Show help

Example with environment variables:

# Using environment variables
ONE_MCP_PORT=3051 ONE_MCP_TAGS=network,filesystem npx -y @1mcp/agent

# Or in your shell configuration
export ONE_MCP_PORT=3051
export ONE_MCP_TAGS=network,filesystem
npx -y @1mcp/agent

Docker

You can also run 1MCP using Docker:

# Pull the latest image
docker pull ghcr.io/1mcp-app/agent:latest

# Run with SSE transport (default)
docker run -p 3050:3050 ghcr.io/1mcp-app/agent

# Run with a custom config file
docker run -p 3050:3050 -v /path/to/config.json:/config.json ghcr.io/1mcp-app/agent --config /config.json

# Run with stdio transport
docker run -i ghcr.io/1mcp-app/agent --transport stdio

Available image tags:

  • latest: Latest stable release
  • vX.Y.Z: Specific version (e.g. v1.0.0)
  • sha-<commit>: Specific commit

Environment Variables

You can configure 1MCP using environment variables prefixed with ONE_MCP_:

  • ONE_MCP_TRANSPORT: Transport type ("stdio" or "sse", default: "sse")
  • ONE_MCP_PORT: SSE port (default: 3050)
  • ONE_MCP_HOST: SSE host (default: "localhost")
  • ONE_MCP_CONFIG: Path to config file
  • ONE_MCP_TAGS: Comma-separated list of tags to filter servers

Example with environment variables:

docker run -p 3051:3051 \
  -e ONE_MCP_PORT=3051 \
  -e ONE_MCP_TAGS=network,filesystem \
  ghcr.io/1mcp-app/agent

Understanding Tags

Tags help you control which MCP servers are available to different clients. Think of tags as labels that describe what each server can do.

How to Use Tags
  1. In your server config: Add tags to each server to describe its capabilities
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"],
      "tags": ["network", "web"],
      "disabled": false
    },
    "file-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "~/Downloads"],
      "tags": ["filesystem"],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
  1. When starting 1MCP in stdio mode: You can filter servers by tags
# Only start servers with the "network" tag
npx -y @1mcp/agent --transport stdio --tags "network"

# Start servers with either "network" or "filesystem" tags
npx -y @1mcp/agent --transport stdio --tags "network,filesystem"
  1. When using SSE transport: Clients can request servers with specific tags
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "1mcp": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:3050/sse?tags=network"  // Only connect to network-capable servers
        }
    }
}

Example tags:

  • network: For servers that make web requests
  • filesystem: For servers that handle file operations
  • memory: For servers that provide memory/storage
  • shell: For servers that run shell commands
  • db: For servers that handle database operations

Configuration

Global Configuration

The server automatically manages configuration in a global location:

  • macOS/Linux: ~/.config/1mcp/mcp.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/1mcp/mcp.json

Configuration File Format

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-fetch"
      ],
      "disabled": false
    },
    "server-memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"
      ],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
