Download

Latest release: v1.4.1. Install notes and the current download status are on the official website.

Homebrew (macOS): brew install --cask folay-git/tap/mcp-dock

The macOS builds are ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple, and the Windows builds are not code-signed, so the system may block or warn on first launch. See the install guide.

• Already using MCP Dock 1.3.x or earlier? The built-in updater of those versions points to an update source that no longer exists, so it cannot update itself to this version. Download it from the table above and install it over the old app; your configuration is kept.
• The open-source Community Edition in this repository can also be built from source. It has fewer features than the full application (see the comparison below).

Data Sources

The full version reads two catalogs, refreshed every 14 days:

• MCP Servers - the MCP Official Registry. Being listed there is not a security review.
• Skills - public GitHub repositories

Smithery shut down its API, hosted connections, CLI/SDK and accounts on 2026-10-31, so it is no longer a data source. MCP configs you already have that depend on it are kept as they are and marked "Service retired" in the Library; MCP Dock never rewrites or removes them automatically.

FAQ

Where is data stored?

All configurations and data are stored locally:

• macOS: ~/.mcp-dock/
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.mcp-dock\
• Linux: ~/.mcp-dock/

Does it require internet?

Internet is required for loading the MCP list. Installed MCP configurations are stored locally and work offline.

How to uninstall?

1. Delete the application
2. Delete the config directory ~/.mcp-dock/
3. MCP configurations remain in each client's config file. Remove manually if needed.
