Claude Code Manager
See all your MCP servers, skills, commands, rules, and CLAUDE.md files in one place — across every project on your machine
Quick Start | Features | Usage | Configuration | Contributing

Quick Start
Option 1: pip (simplest)
pip install ccmanager
ccmanager ~/Projects
Option 2: uv tool (fastest, isolated)
uv tool install ccmanager
ccmanager ~/Projects
Don't have uv? Install it: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Option 3: From Source
git clone https://github.com/simonstrumse/claude-code-manager.git
cd claude-code-manager
pip install -e .
ccmanager ~/Projects
"command not found"?
On macOS, pip installs to `~/Library/Python/3.x/bin/` which may not be in PATH. Fix:echo 'export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Or use `uv tool` above — it handles PATH automatically.
Features
- Multi-Project Scanning — Scan an entire folder of projects and see all configurations at a glance
- 6 Configuration Tabs — Projects, MCP Servers, Skills, Commands, Rules, CLAUDE.md
- Content Preview — Press Enter to view full content of any skill, command, rule, or CLAUDE.md
- Cross-Navigation — Jump between projects and their MCP servers with
gandskeys - Project Discovery — Find Claude Code projects scattered across your system
- Usage Analytics — See which MCP servers are used most across your projects
- Privacy Mode — Toggle
pto redact project names for screenshots

Tabs Overview
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Projects | All scanned projects with config counts |
| MCP | All MCP servers ranked by usage |
| Skills | User and project skills |
| Commands | Slash commands (/commit, etc.) |
| Rules | Always-on instruction files |
| CLAUDE.md | Project documentation files |
What It Scans
The tool understands Claude Code's configuration precedence:
| Level | Location | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | /Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/ |
Highest |
| Local | ~/.claude.json → projects[path] |
2nd |
| Project | .mcp.json |
3rd |
| User | ~/.claude.json → mcpServers |
Lowest |
Scanned Locations
- MCP Servers: Enterprise, User, Project, Local levels
- Skills:
~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.mdand.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md - Commands:
~/.claude/commands/*.mdand.claude/commands/*.md - Rules:
~/.claude/rules/**/*.mdand.claude/rules/**/*.md - CLAUDE.md: Root,
.claude/, subdirectories, local variants

Development Setup
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/claude-code-manager.git
cd claude-code-manager
python3 -m venv venv && source venv/activate
pip install -e .
Guidelines
- Test your changes — Make sure the TUI runs without crashing
- Follow existing patterns — Look at how similar features are implemented
- Document changes — Update CHANGELOG.md for significant changes
- Keep it simple — Prefer readable code over clever code
Troubleshooting
"No projects found"
- Make sure you're pointing to a directory that contains Claude Code projects - Projects need `.git`, `.mcp.json`, or `.claude/` folder to be detectedNot finding my MCP servers or skills
Run with `--debug` to see what paths are being checked:ccmanager --debug ~/Projects
The scanner looks for:
- **MCP servers**: `~/.claude.json` → `mcpServers` key (camelCase!)
- **Skills**: `~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` (each skill needs its own folder)
- **Project MCP**: `.mcp.json` → `mcpServers` key in each project
Common issues:
- Wrong key name (`mcp_servers` vs `mcpServers`)
- Skills missing `SKILL.md` file inside the folder
TUI looks broken
- Make sure your terminal supports Unicode - Try a different terminal (iTerm2, Alacritty, Windows Terminal) - Ensure terminal is at least 100 columns widePreview not opening
- Tab to focus the detail panel first - Then press Enter - Press Escape or 'q' to close the previewLicense
