From the repository
Install by cloning the repository and running make build, then add the binary to your PATH. Create a mcp-compose.yaml configuration file (or run mcp-compose init for an interactive wizard). Start all servers with mcp-compose up, start the HTTP proxy with mcp-compose proxy --port 9876, and access the web dashboard with mcp-compose dashboard. Use mcp-compose create-config --type claude to generate client configuration for Claude Desktop.
