Overview

toolshed is a terminal tool, with a text interface, for adding MCP servers to Claude Code and Codex. You give it an npm or Python package, a CLI that speaks MCP, or a remote URL; it starts the server and lists its tools so you can see it works, then installs it into both agents for every project or one repository. API tokens stay in the macOS Keychain or Linux Secret Service instead of plain config files, and it can import servers you set up by hand. toolshed is also an MCP server itself, so your agent can ask to add a server and you approve what it will run with one keypress.
