1MCP - One MCP Server for All
A unified Model Context Protocol server implementation that aggregates multiple MCP servers into one.
Overview
1MCP (One MCP) is designed to simplify the way you work with AI assistants. Instead of configuring multiple MCP servers for different clients (Claude Desktop, Cherry Studio, Cursor, Roo Code, Claude, etc.), 1MCP provides a single, unified server.
Features

- 🔒 OAuth 2.1 Authentication: Production-ready security with scope-based authorization
- ⚡ High Performance: Efficient request forwarding with proper error handling
- 🛡️ Security First: Stdio transport isolation, input sanitization, and comprehensive audit logging
- 🔧 Easy Configuration: Single JSON configuration file with hot-reload support
- 📈 Health Monitoring: Built-in health check endpoints for monitoring and observability

Expand-Archive -Path "1mcp.zip" -DestinationPath "."
NPM:
npx -y @1mcp/agent --help
2. Add MCP Servers
1mcp mcp add context7 -- npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp
1mcp mcp add filesystem -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem ~/Documents
3. Start the Server
1mcp
4. Connect Your AI Assistant
For Cursor, add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"1mcp": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:3050/mcp?app=cursor"
}
}
}
For VSCode, add to settings.json:
{
"servers": {
"1mcp": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:3050/mcp?app=vscode"
}
}
}
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add -t http 1mcp "http://127.0.0.1:3050/mcp?app=claude-code"
That's it! All your MCP servers are now available through one unified endpoint. 🎉

How It Works
1MCP acts as a proxy, managing and aggregating multiple MCP servers. It starts and stops these servers as subprocesses and forwards requests from AI assistants to the appropriate server. This architecture allows for a single point of entry for all MCP traffic, simplifying management and reducing overhead.

FAQ
- What is the 1MCP Agent MCP server?
- 1MCP Agent is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for 1MCP Agent?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
