Show HN: MCP-tidy – How many MCPs in your Claude Code are you actually using? (github.com)

The launch of MCP-tidy, a new tool specifically designed for Claude Code users, aims to optimize the management of MCP (Memory Control Protocol) servers. As users accumulate MCP servers in their configuration files, they inadvertently face challenges such as excessive context window consumption, degraded tool selection, and increased latency. MCP-tidy addresses these issues by allowing users to view configured MCP servers, analyze usage statistics, and safely remove unused servers while creating automatic backups for data integrity. This tool is significant for the AI/ML community as it helps streamline workflows and improve the efficiency of integrating multiple tools within Claude Code. With features like interactive removal options, statistics visualization, and different output formats, MCP-tidy empowers developers to keep their environments organized and responsive. By reducing the overhead caused by unnecessary MCP servers, users can expect enhanced performance, faster response times, and fewer selection errors when using tools, ultimately leading to more effective AI/ML project execution.
