Anthropic recently released https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/desktop-extensions which will allow us to more easily install and distribute all the MCPs we use and make! I have personally made a bunch of MCPs (which you can find here if interested) and didn't want to go through and hand write the manifest, so I to their recommended prompt to give to Claude Code and turned it into a command!

You can download it here https://claudecodecommands.directory/commands/claude-desktop... I think this is a great move by Anthropic and one that signals they are planning to move towards potentially supporting a whole ecosystem of Apps and MCPs. Having a standard file format makes it easier to share, but it also makes it easier to host. I'm not sure if this will be something Anthropic ends up handling, but it does seem like the direction MCP distribution is headed in. Hope this command is useful!
