Disable MCP Servers

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Selectively enable or disable MCP servers in Claude Desktop configurations.

• 2

  A clean and manageable way to maintain multiple server configurations using YAML.

• 3

  That require automated conversion from YAML to JSON while filtering out disabled servers.

Description

This repository provides a workaround to disable specific MCP servers in Claude Desktop, which does not natively support disabling servers via JSON config flags. By defining the configuration in YAML with an 'enabled' flag and using 'yq' to filter out disabled servers, users can maintain a toggle-able workspace and generate clean JSON configurations compatible with Claude Desktop. This approach improves configuration management and flexibility without modifying the original application.
