MCP Manager Skill

Intelligent on-demand MCP server loading to minimize context consumption

Quick Start

The skill operates automatically - Claude detects when you need MCPs and offers to load them.

Manual Commands

# Check what's currently loaded
python3 ~/.claude/skills/mcp-manager/mcp_control.py status

# Load specific MCP
python3 ~/.claude/skills/mcp-manager/mcp_control.py enable n8n-mcp

# Unload specific MCP
python3 ~/.claude/skills/mcp-manager/mcp_control.py disable n8n-mcp

# See what MCPs would help with a task
python3 ~/.claude/skills/mcp-manager/mcp_control.py detect "your query here"

# Reset to minimal (unload all)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/mcp-manager/mcp_control.py reset

Or just ask:

  • "Load the n8n MCP"
  • "Unload all MCPs"
  • "What MCPs are currently loaded?"

Available MCPs

MCP Category Description Est. Tokens
cognitive-memory Memory Cognitive memory with decay scoring Always loaded
n8n-mcp Automation n8n workflow management ~1500
playwright Automation Browser automation and testing ~1000

Configuration

  • Global MCPs (always-on): ~/.claude.json → mcpServers
  • Project MCPs (on-demand): <project-root>/.mcp.json → mcpServers
  • Full Registry: ~/.claude/.mcp-full.json (all available definitions)
  • Logs: ~/.claude/logs/mcp-manager.log

Important: ~/.claude/.mcp.json is NOT read by Claude Code. Global servers go in ~/.claude.json.

Workflow

  1. Minimal Start - Begin each session with no on-demand MCPs loaded
  2. Auto-Detect - Claude detects when MCPs are needed via trigger keywords
  3. Load on Demand - Enable only required MCPs
  4. Restart - MCP changes require Claude Code restart
  5. Complete Task - Use the MCP for your work
  6. Unload - Free context by removing MCPs when done
