### Description (declared)

# mcp-sync

Sync MCP (Model Context Protocol) configurations across AI tools.

## Overview

`mcp-sync` is a command-line tool that helps you manage and synchronize MCP server configurations across different AI coding tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cline, VS Code extensions, and more.

## Features

- **Auto-discovery**: Automatically finds MCP configs on your system
- **Manual registration**: Add custom config file locations for future-proofing
- **Global & project configs**: Supports both user-wide and project-specific servers
- **Conflict resolution**: Smart merging with project configs taking priority
- **Dry-run mode**: Preview changes before applying them
- **Cross-platform**: Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux
