How do I verify if my environment variables are correctly set?

You can run the provided mcp-sync.sh script with the 'check' command to identify any missing variables or configuration errors.

Can I use this on machines other than Macs?

Currently, this skill is specifically designed for macOS as it relies on the macOS Keychain and iCloud synchronization via the deep-env utility.

Does this work with standard Claude Code instances?

Yes, it enhances Claude Code by managing the mcp.json configuration file that Claude natively uses to interact with Model Context Protocol servers.

What is the benefit of using ${HOME} in mcp.json?

Using ${HOME} allows your configuration to be portable; it automatically expands to the correct home directory path on any Mac, even if your local username differs.

How does MCP Server Sync handle sensitive credentials?

It stores credentials securely in the macOS Keychain using deep-env and synchronizes them via iCloud, ensuring secrets are never stored in plain text or committed to git.

Productivity & Workflow

Synchronizes Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configurations and credentials across multiple Mac environments using iCloud and macOS Keychain.

About

MCP Server Sync provides a seamless way to maintain consistent AI tool configurations across different machines by leveraging variable expansion in mcp.json and secure credential storage via deep-env. It ensures that your Claude Code environment, API keys, and server paths remain portable and secure without manual re-configuration. This skill is essential for developers who move between multiple workstations and need a reliable, "write once, use everywhere" approach to their MCP-enabled AI workflows.
