Once you’ve installed tools, you’ll want to use them inside an AI host app. Instead of manually editing JSON configs, tool host handles registration for you.
The command creates timestamped backups before modifying any host config file, so your original configuration is always safe.

​
Add tools to a host

Register one or more tools with a host. If you omit the tool names, all installed tools are registered. 
tool host add claude-desktop              # add all installed tools
tool host add claude-desktop bash         # add a specific tool
tool host add cursor appcypher/bash       # add to Cursor
tool host add vscode --dry-run            # preview changes without writing
tool host add claude-code --overwrite     # overwrite existing entries
tool host add claude-desktop -y           # skip confirmation prompt

Check which hosts are available

tool host list

Preview the changes first

Use --dry-run to see exactly what would be added without touching any files.
tool host add claude-desktop --dry-run

Register your tools

tool host add claude-desktop
A backup of the existing config is created before anything is modified.

​
Remove tools from a host

Remove tools that were registered by tool-cli. Without specifying tool names, all tool-cli-managed entries are removed. 
tool host remove claude-desktop            # remove all managed tools
tool host remove claude-desktop bash       # remove a specific tool
tool host remove cursor --dry-run          # preview changes
tool host remove vscode -y                 # skip confirmation

​
List hosts and their status

tool host list              # see all supported hosts and whether their config exists
tool host list cursor       # show tools registered with a specific host

​
Preview the generated config

See the MCP config block that would be written for a host, without modifying anything. 
tool host preview claude-desktop        # preview config for all installed tools
tool host preview cursor bash           # preview config for a specific tool

tool host path claude-desktop    # print config file location
tool host path cursor            # print Cursor config path
Use tool host path to quickly find a host’s config file if you need to inspect or edit it manually.
