Delete

Delete MCP Server

Remove an MCP server from the Claude Code configuration.

Config File Locations (Claude Code only)

• Global servers are stored in ~/.claude.json (NOT ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
• Project servers are defined in .mcp.json at the project root.

Instructions

1. Check if the MCP Manager server is running:

   curl -s --max-time 2 http://localhost:4111/api/health
   

2. If the server is NOT running, start it:

   cd "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT" && nohup node server/index.js > ~/.mcp-manager.log 2>&1 &
   sleep 2
   

3. If the user did not specify which server to delete, list available servers first:

   curl -s http://localhost:4111/api/config
   

   Then ask the user which server they want to remove.

4. Confirm with the user before deleting. This action removes the server configuration permanently.

5. Delete the specified server:

   curl -s -X DELETE http://localhost:4111/api/servers \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "<SERVER_NAME>", "scope": "<SCOPE>"}'
   

   • name: the MCP server name
   • scope: use "global" for global servers, or the full absolute workspace path (e.g., "/Users/me/my-project") for project servers. Do NOT use the string "project". Check the server's scope field from the /api/config response.

6. Confirm the deletion was successful. Mention which file was modified:

   • Global: removed from ~/.claude.json
   • Project: removed from .mcp.json in the project root

7. Remind the user to restart their Claude Code session.
