Clean your MCPs.

Audit, clean, and slim down the MCP setup your coding agent loads every day. Find forgotten servers, abandoned packages, duplicate tools, broad filesystem access, and context-heavy MCPs before they waste context or trigger unwanted tool calls.

One command local scan

No config changes until you apply a plan.

Your agent loads the junk drawer too.

One project needs GitHub and Postgres. Another needs Playwright. A third needs a docs server. After a few weeks, your MCP configs look like an old startup disk: useful tools mixed with trial installs, duplicates, stale packages, and permissions you would not add today.

Audit the whole machine. Claude, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, VS Code, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, Zed, and project `.mcp.json` files.
Clean obvious clutter. Duplicate servers, dead commands, missing paths, archived repos, major upgrades, and packages stuck on `latest`.
Reclaim context. Rank servers by estimated tool count so heavy MCPs stay out of projects that do not need them.
Find old installs. `--track-usage` builds a local ledger of MCPs that keep hanging around scan after scan.

Scans the configs agentic coders actually collect.

dr-mcp puts your global Claude setup, Codex TOML, Cursor project config, VS Code settings, and random .mcp.json files into one cleanup report.

What it finds before your agent trips over it.

Abandoned servers

Checks npm metadata and GitHub activity so archived or quiet MCP projects are easy to remove.

Context hogs

Ranks heavy servers like GitHub, browser automation, Slack, Jira, and filesystem tools by estimated tool load.

Upgrade debt

Shows MCP packages behind npm latest, including major upgrades that deserve a careful review before applying.

Start with one scan. Delete nothing until you approve it.

The first command gives you a redacted local cleanup report. cleanup adds package checks, abandoned repo signals, major upgrade checks, and local install-history tracking. If you want changes, dr-mcp creates named patch plans with backups.
