MCP Conductor MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
git clone https://github.com/lutherscottgarcia/mcp-conductor.git
cd mcp-conductor
npm install
npm run build
2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add -e "MCP_CONDUCTOR_PROJECT_DIR=${MCP_CONDUCTOR_PROJECT_DIR}" -e "MCP_CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE=${MCP_CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE}" mcp-conductor -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_CONDUCTOR>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_CONDUCTOR>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

Eliminates AI session startup overhead with 99.3% time savings

MCP Conductor 🎭

Revolutionary 5-MCP Orchestration System
Eliminates AI session startup overhead with 99.3% time savings

⚡ The Efficiency Revolution

Before MCP Conductor: Every AI session starts with 15+ minutes of painful project exploration
After MCP Conductor: Instant project context loading in 10 seconds

Result: 99.3% time savings, perfect context continuity, revolutionary developer experience

🎯 What is MCP Conductor?

MCP Conductor is the world's first 5-MCP orchestration system that eliminates session startup overhead through intelligent project caching. It coordinates Memory MCP, Claudepoint MCP, Filesystem MCP, Git MCP, and Database MCPs to provide seamless conversation continuity.

🧠 Project Intelligence Cache - The Game Changer

Our revolutionary Project Intelligence Cache captures complete project understanding once and loads it instantly in future sessions:

# Traditional session (15+ minutes)
Session Start → Project Exploration → Architecture Understanding → Ready for Work

# MCP Conductor (10 seconds)  
Session Start → Load Cache → Immediate Full Context → Instant Productive Work
