MCP Router: Manage multiple MCP servers from one desktop app (github.com)

MCP Router is a new cross-platform desktop app that centralizes management of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, letting you connect to any local or remote MCP instance (supports DXT, JSON, and Manual modes) from a single dashboard. It organizes servers into Projects and Workspaces (like browser profiles), lets you toggle servers and individual tools on/off per server, and captures detailed request logs. All data — request logs, configs and credentials — is stored locally and credentials are never transmitted externally. The source is public on GitHub (auditable for privacy), the project invites community security reviews, and it’s released under a Sustainable Use License. For practitioners and teams building or running contextualized LLM setups, MCP Router simplifies operational overhead and improves observability and privacy. Its native UI plus a CLI workflow (use the issued MCPR token and run npx @mcp_router/cli connect, with --project <name> to target projects) makes it easy to integrate with popular clients like Claude, Cline, Windsurf, Cursor, or custom clients. The app’s local-first design and open source code make it practical for secure experimentation, multi-model orchestration, and reproducible context management—helpful for research, deployment, and audits in AI/ML workflows.
