MCPM CLI: A Deep Dive Into the Command Line
The mcpm CLI is the fastest way to interact with the MCP ecosystem. Let's walk through everything it can do.
Installation
npm i -g mcpm-dev
One command. That's it. You now have access to the entire MCP tool registry from your terminal.
Core Commands
Search for Tools
mcpm-dev search weather
mcpm-dev search <span class="hljs-string">"database"</span>
mcpm-dev search --category productivity
Search is fast and semantic — it understands what you're looking for, not just keyword matching.

mcpm-dev add @community/slack-bot
Installed tools are immediately available to any MCP-compatible agent on your machine.

<span class="hljs-built_in">cd</span> my-mcp-server
mcpm-dev publish
The CLI auto-detects your package.json, reads your README, and handles versioning. First publish in under 30 seconds.
List and Manage
mcpm-dev list <span class="hljs-comment"># What's installed?</span>
mcpm-dev outdated <span class="hljs-comment"># Any updates available?</span>
mcpm-dev update weather-mcp <span class="hljs-comment"># Upgrade a tool</span>
mcpm-dev remove weather-mcp <span class="hljs-comment"># Uninstall</span>
Pro Tips
