Hey HN! Dev here. I built PHAROS, an open-source CLI package manager for MCP servers. Think npm, but for MCP.

What it does: - Search across all MCP registries in one place - Install servers with dependency resolution and lockfiles - Audit installed servers against known vulnerabilities - Import your existing MCP client configs - Publish your own servers

Single Go binary, no runtime deps. macOS, Linux, Windows. MIT licensed. There is a second repo for the Agent SDK it has MCP/MCP-Apps server for empowering AI agents.

Install: `curl -fsSL getpharos.dev/install | sh` or Install: 'irm https://getpharos.dev/install.ps1 | iex'

Happy to chat about the architecture or how the CLI or MCP and SDK work. Let me know if you have questions, comments, or feature requests!

in case anyone is interested in having their Agent manage the MCP servers of the services they are using, they can also check out the companion repo here: https://github.com/Wpnx330/pharos-discovery
