~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Open Claude Desktop, go to Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config (or edit the file directly), paste this in, then restart Claude Desktop.

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools, data sources and APIs through a common protocol, instead of building a custom integration for every client. Once a server is configured, the assistant can call it directly -- reading files, querying a database, hitting an API -- as part of the conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools, data sources and APIs through a common protocol, instead of building a custom integration for every client.

Is this MCP config generator free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. Everything runs in your browser.

Does this tool store my server details or API keys?

No. Nothing you type here is sent to or stored on our servers -- the config is generated entirely in your browser.

What is the difference between a "stdio" and "remote" MCP server?

A stdio server runs as a local command on your machine (typically via npx or a similar CLI) and communicates over standard input/output. A remote server is already hosted somewhere and you connect to it over a URL, similar to a regular API.

Can I add more than one MCP server to the same config?

Yes. Use "Add Another Server" to include as many servers as you need -- they will all be merged into a single config file.

Which MCP clients does this support?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Cline, Roo Code, Continue.dev, JetBrains AI Assistant, Gemini CLI, Amazon Q Developer and LM Studio -- each in its correct config shape and file location.

Will this config work exactly as generated?

We keep this aligned with each client's documented format, but MCP client config formats do change over time -- if something doesn't load, double-check the file path and syntax against that client's official docs.
