## What it is
MCP Router is a cross-platform desktop application for centrally managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, with projects, workspaces, per-tool toggles, and request logging. It keeps all data local and connects AI apps like Claude, Cursor, and VSCode through a CLI.

## Use cases
- manage multiple mcp servers from one dashboard
- route mcp servers to claude and cursor
- keep mcp server logs and credentials local
- organize mcp servers into projects and workspaces
- toggle individual mcp tools on and off
- connect local ai apps to remote and local mcp servers

## When to choose
- you use several MCP servers across multiple AI apps and want one local control plane
- you need workspace isolation and per-tool access control for MCP servers
- privacy matters and you want all MCP traffic and credentials stored locally

## When to avoid
- you only run a single MCP server and a simple JSON config suffices
- you need a headless Linux server deployment, since desktop builds target Windows and macOS
- you require a license-approved distribution, as the license is not a standard OSI license
