Show HN: Madari: CLI tool to install, sync and manage local MCP servers

https://github.com/ankitvg/madari/releases/tag/v0.1.1

I built stewreads-mcp (https://github.com/ankitvg/stewreads) to turn useful AI chats into ebooks and send them to Kindle. Every time I wanted to share it I had to explain how to find the binary, edit claude_desktop_config.json, get the JSON update exactly right, and restart Claude Desktop. Too much friction.

So I built madari. Now, stewreads-mcp can be installed and setup with Claude Desktop in just one command:

madari install stewreads-mcp

That one command runs uv tool install, resolves the binary path, registers the server, and syncs it to Claude Desktop.

Madari also includes: lifecycle commands (add, remove, enable, disable), sync to push changes to the client config, diagnostics (doctor, status) to monitor MCP health, and snapshot export/import for moving your setup across machines. Claude Desktop is the supported client; more client support coming next.

Would love feedback from folks building MCP servers who's hit the same problem.
