If you've been manually copying mcp.json files and wondering which MCP servers work well together, personas solve that problem.
Instead of this tedious process:
- ❌ Research 50+ individual MCP servers
- ❌ Test which ones work together
- ❌ Configure each server individually
- ❌ Debug compatibility issues
- ❌ Repeat for every new projectGet this instant setup:
+ ✅ Install one persona = get 5-15 perfectly configured MCP servers
+ ✅ Community-created toolkits using validated MCP servers from established registries
+ ✅ Zero compatibility issues, zero debugging
+ ✅ Works immediately in Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, etc.| Your Role | Old Way (Hours) | Persona Way (Seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| Python Developer | Research filesystem + git + code-checker + sequential-thinking + memory + fetch servers individually | "persona": "python-backend-engineer" ✨ |
| DevOps Engineer | Configure AWS CLI + CloudFormation + EKS + Docker + Postgres + DynamoDB separately | "persona": "aws-cloud-engineer" ✨ |
| Database Admin | Set up Postgres + monitoring + charting + git + memory + time servers | "persona": "postgresql-dba" ✨ |
Pick a persona from the catalog below or browse the personas/ directory. Start with intern if you're new!

If you're using Claude Code, simply run:
/new-persona
Claude will guide you through creating a properly formatted persona with all required files.
After creating your persona, run:
/sync-personas
This will automatically add your new persona to the README with proper categorization and emoji labeling.
Each persona consists of:
- persona.yaml - The persona definition with toolsets and metadata
- mcp.json - The MCP server configuration file
- README.md - Documentation describing the persona's purpose and usage
