Documentation

README

Author an MCP server entry for mcptoon

All servers live in ~/.mcptoon/config.json under mcpServers. Edit there, never in agent-side files, then run mcptoon sync.

Entry shapes

stdio (local process):

{
  "filesystem": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/data"],
    "env": {"NODE_ENV": "production"}
  }
}

streamable-http / sse (remote):

{
  "remote-tools": {
    "type": "streamable-http",
    "url": "https://example.com/mcp"
  }
}
