Quick Start

Option 1: pip (simplest)

pip install ccmanager
ccmanager ~/Projects

Option 2: uv tool (fastest, isolated)

uv tool install ccmanager
ccmanager ~/Projects

Don't have uv? Install it: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Option 3: From Source

git clone https://github.com/simonstrumse/claude-code-manager.git
cd claude-code-manager
pip install -e .
ccmanager ~/Projects

<details> <summary><strong>"command not found"?</strong></summary>

On macOS, pip installs to ~/Library/Python/3.x/bin/ which may not be in PATH. Fix:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Or use uv tool above — it handles PATH automatically.

What It Scans

The tool understands Claude Code's configuration precedence:

Level	Location	Priority
Enterprise	/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/	Highest
Local	~/.claude.json → projects[path]	2nd
Project	.mcp.json	3rd
User	~/.claude.json → mcpServers	Lowest

Scanned Locations

• MCP Servers: Enterprise, User, Project, Local levels
• Skills: ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md and .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
• Commands: ~/.claude/commands/*.md and .claude/commands/*.md
• Rules: ~/.claude/rules/**/*.md and .claude/rules/**/*.md
• CLAUDE.md: Root, .claude/, subdirectories, local variants

Contributing

Contributions welcome! This is a learning project, so please be patient and constructive.

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/claude-code-manager.git
cd claude-code-manager
python3 -m venv venv && source venv/activate
pip install -e .

Guidelines

1. Test your changes — Make sure the TUI runs without crashing
2. Follow existing patterns — Look at how similar features are implemented
3. Document changes — Update CHANGELOG.md for significant changes
4. Keep it simple — Prefer readable code over clever code

Troubleshooting

<details> <summary><strong>"No projects found"</strong></summary>

• Make sure you're pointing to a directory that contains Claude Code projects
• Projects need .git, .mcp.json, or .claude/ folder to be detected

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Not finding my MCP servers or skills</strong></summary>

Run with --debug to see what paths are being checked:

ccmanager --debug ~/Projects

The scanner looks for:

• MCP servers: ~/.claude.json → mcpServers key (camelCase!)
• Skills: ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md (each skill needs its own folder)
• Project MCP: .mcp.json → mcpServers key in each project

Common issues:

• Wrong key name (mcp_servers vs mcpServers)
• Skills missing SKILL.md file inside the folder

</details> <details> <summary><strong>TUI looks broken</strong></summary>

• Make sure your terminal supports Unicode
• Try a different terminal (iTerm2, Alacritty, Windows Terminal)
• Ensure terminal is at least 100 columns wide

</details> <details> <summary><strong>Preview not opening</strong></summary>

• Tab to focus the detail panel first
• Then press Enter
• Press Escape or 'q' to close the preview
