# Tappy **One tool to manage, inspect and monitor every MCP server you run.** Works across Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor — and any client with an `mcpServers` config. ## Installation Requires Python 3.11+. The package is `tappy-mcp`; it installs the `tappy` command. ```bash pip install tappy-mcp ``` Or, isolated in its own environment (recommended for terminal tools): ```bash pipx install tappy-mcp # or uv tool install tappy-mcp ``` Or run it instantly without installing (the `npx` equivalent): ```bash uvx tappy-mcp status ``` Verify the install: ```bash tappy --version tappy help # grouped overview of every command ``` ## Quick start ```bash tappy list # every server across every client tappy status # ...with live health, latency and tool counts tappy inspect <name> # full report: status + tools + resources + prompts tappy watch # live, auto-refreshing health monitor ``` ## What it does MCP servers are the plugins that give AI tools their real-world powers — but each AI client stores them in its own JSON config file, with no way to see whether a server actually works or what it exposes. Tappy reads every client's config into one view and lets you: - **Manage** — `add` / `remove` / `enable` / `disable` servers without hand-editing JSON. Every write is atomic, diff-previewable (`--dry-run`), backed up first, and reversible with `tappy restore`. - **Inspect** — talk the real MCP protocol: list a server's tools/resources/prompts, `call` a tool, `read` a resource, render a `prompt` — even against a server that isn't installed anywhere yet (`--command` / `--url`). - **Monitor** — `status` / `watch` / `probe` show live health, handshake latency and tool counts, probed concurrently over the protocol. - **Secure** — `pin` a server's tool definitions, then `verify` (or just `status`) flags if they change behind your back — catching post-approval "rug-pulls". - **Standardize** — a git-tracked team regi…
