AMP is a package-manager for MCP servers. Run amp add once and AMP injects the tool into every AI client on your machine.

One CLI to manage all your AI tools across every client.
Add any MCP server once. AMP injects it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more automatically.
AMP shows exactly what permissions each tool needs — network, filesystem, subprocess — before writing anything.
Search the official MCP registry and Smithery in parallel. Supports npm:, pip:, and github: prefixes.
Expose all your installed MCP tools as a local OpenAI-compatible API at localhost:1337.
Install tools per-project with amp.json or globally with -g. Lockfile keeps everything reproducible.
Run amp doctor to check runtimes, detect installed AI clients, and diagnose project setup.
Get up and running in seconds.
