What is Vibedock?

Vibedock is a macOS menu bar app that gives you one-click control over your Claude Code MCP servers. Every MCP server you have configured injects its tool definitions into your context window on every single message — whether you use it that session or not. Vibedock lets you toggle MCPs on and off instantly, without touching a single config file. It automatically kills and relaunches your Claude sessions so the change actually takes effect, keeping your workflow smooth and your context window lean.

Who it's for

• Claude Code power users who run multiple MCP servers across different projects and need to switch between them without restarting sessions manually
• Token-conscious developers who want to cut down on context bloat by disabling unused MCPs, saving thousands of tokens per message
• macOS-based AI toolers who work in Terminal, iTerm2, VS Code, or Warp and want a friction-free way to manage their MCP setup from the menu bar

Key features

Instant toggle

Enable or disable any MCP server in one click. Changes take effect immediately — no need to edit JSON files or restart your terminal manually.

Auto-relaunch

Vibedock automatically kills and restarts your Claude sessions after a toggle. Zero friction, and your session resumes right where you left off.

Project-aware

The app sees both your global MCPs and per-project configs. Everything is organized by project, always up to date, so you never lose track of which servers belong where.

Live scan

Vibedock watches your config files. When something changes — whether you edit a file or add a new server — the app updates instantly, keeping your menu bar in sync.

What stands out

"Every unused MCP bloats your context window. Disable what you don't need and save thousands of tokens per message."

That's the core insight behind Vibedock. Most developers don't realize how much context they're wasting on MCP servers they never use in a given session. By making toggling as easy as clicking a menu bar icon, Vibedock turns a hidden cost into a visible, controllable lever. The auto-relaunch feature ensures the change actually applies, so you're never left wondering whether your toggle did anything.

Worth checking out if…

You use Claude Code with multiple MCP servers and want to stop paying for context you're not using. Vibedock is a one-time purchase with a 3-day free trial, no credit card required, and works on macOS 13 Ventura or later. If you've ever found yourself digging through JSON configs just to turn off a database server for a quick chat session, this app is built for you.
