Starterbox - configure mcp servers directly from prompt

This server is a server that installs other MCP servers for you. Install it, and you can ask Claude (or other AI Applications) to install MCP servers hosted in npm or PyPi for you. Requires npx and uv to be installed for node and Python servers respectively.

How to install:

Put this into your claude_desktop_config.json (either at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude on macOS or C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Claude on Windows):

  "mcpServers": {
    "starterbox": {
      "command": "npx",
      "starterbox": [
        "amcp"
      ]
    }
  }
