MCP Essentials Setup
Three MCP servers that enhance agent workflows.
Quick Install
npm i -g mcp-omnisearch mcp-sqlite-tools mcpick
1. mcp-omnisearch
Unified search across Tavily, Brave, Kagi, Perplexity, GitHub, and more.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcp-omnisearch
Config (~/.claude/settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-omnisearch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-omnisearch"],
"env": {
"TAVILY_API_KEY": "your-key",
"BRAVE_API_KEY": "your-key",
"KAGI_API_KEY": "your-key"
}
}
}
}
Use when: Web search, GitHub code search, AI-powered answers, content extraction.
2. mcp-sqlite-tools
Safe SQLite operations with read/write separation and transaction support.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcp-sqlite-tools
Config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-sqlite-tools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-sqlite-tools"]
}
}
}
Use when: Query databases, analyze data, manage SQLite files.
3. mcpick
Dynamically enable/disable MCP servers to optimize context usage.
GitHub: https://github.com/spences10/mcpick
Install: npm i -g mcpick
Usage:
mcpick enable omnisearch sqlite-tools
mcpick disable memory-server
mcpick list
Use when: Too many MCPs eating context, need to toggle servers per-project.
Recommended Combinations
| Workflow | Enable | | --------------- | ------------------------------ | | Research | omnisearch | | Data analysis | sqlite-tools | | Full stack | omnisearch + sqlite-tools | | Minimal context | Use mcpick to toggle as needed |
