# MCP Plugins
|
|
|
|
[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools. CodePilot has a built-in MCP client that supports connecting to any MCP server to extend Claude's capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## What is MCP?
|
|
|
|
MCP servers provide Claude with additional tools, such as:
|
|
|
|
- **File System** — Read/write files, search directories
|
|
- **Database** — Query databases directly
|
|
- **API Integrations** — Connect to external services like GitHub, Jira, Slack
|
|
- **Development Tools** — Run tests, lint code, manage dependencies
|
|
- **Custom Tools** — Build any tool you need
|
|
|
|
## Managing MCP Servers
|
|
|
|
Click **MCP** in the sidebar to open the management page. The page provides two views:
|
|
|
|
### List View
|
|
|
|
Displays all configured MCP servers as cards, each showing:
|
|
|
|
- Server name
|
|
- Connection status (Connected / Disconnected / Error)
|
|
- List of tools provided
|
|
|
|
### JSON Editor
|
|
|
|
Directly edit the MCP configuration JSON file — useful for bulk configuration or importing settings from other tools.
|
|
|
|
## Adding an MCP Server
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Add Server** on the MCP page
|
|
2. Fill in the configuration:
|
|
- **Name** — A descriptive name for the server
|
|
- **Transport Type** — Select the connection method:
|
|
- **stdio** — Local process communicating via standard input/output (most common)
|
|
- **SSE** — Connect to a remote server via Server-Sent Events
|
|
- **HTTP (Streamable)** — Connect via HTTP streaming
|
|
- **Command** (stdio type) — The command to start the server, e.g., `npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem`
|
|
- **Arguments** — Command-line arguments
|
|
- **URL** (SSE / HTTP type) — The remote server address
|
|
- **Environment Variables** — Environment variables the server needs (API keys, etc.)
|
|
3. After saving, the server will start automatically
|
|
|
|
## Using MCP Tools
|
|
|
|
Once an MCP server is connected, its tools automatically become available to Claude. Claude will call these tools as needed while processing your requests.
|
|
|
|
You can view the specific tool list for each server on the MCP page.
|
|
|
|
## Popular MCP Servers
|
|
|
|
| Server | Purpose |
|
|
|--------|---------|
|
|
| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` | File system access |
|
|
| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-github` | GitHub integration |
|
|
| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-slack` | Slack integration |
|
|
| `@anthropic-ai/mcp-server-fetch` | Web fetching |
|
|
|
|
More MCP servers can be found in the [official MCP repository](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers) and the community.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
- **Server won't connect** — Check that the command is correct and the required npm package is installed
|
|
- **Tools not appearing** — Try disconnecting and reconnecting the server
|
|
- **Permission errors** — Ensure the MCP server has access to the required resources
|
|
- **SSE/HTTP connection fails** — Check that the URL is correct and the server is running
