KyttoMCP
KyttoMCP is a desktop application that provides a unified control panel for managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers across multiple AI coding clients. It reads scattered configuration files from tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Codex, and presents a single matrix showing which servers are enabled in each client. This eliminates the need to manually edit JSON and TOML files spread across different directories. The application estimates the context window consumption of each server's tool definitions, helping users understand the token cost of their MCP setup. It also offers safe configuration management by creating automatic backups before every write, using atomic file operations to prevent corruption, and preserving unrelated settings during changes. KyttoMCP works entirely locally, with no cloud account or sync service required. It is available as a beta release for macOS and Windows, with plans for future expansion. The tool is developed by Jakub Studio.

Problem solved
Developers using multiple AI coding assistants face fragmented MCP server configurations scattered across various JSON and TOML files. KyttoMCP centralizes this into a single interface, providing a clear overview and allowing safe, atomic changes without manual file editing.
Use cases
- View which MCP servers are enabled across Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Codex
- Estimate context token usage from MCP tool definitions
- Safely toggle servers on/off without editing configuration files manually
- Back up configurations automatically before making changes
- Quickly audit MCP setup across multiple development environments
- Prevent configuration drift by managing everything from one app
