Description
Configure external MCP servers for scripts and Agent Chat. Use when the user wants to add, remove, enable, disable, or inspect MCP servers in Script Kit.

Configure MCP

Manage Script Kit's external MCP server definitions in ~/.scriptkit/config.ts.

What This Controls

The mcp block in config.ts is the shared source of truth for:

  • mcp.* script SDK calls
  • Agent Chat access to Script Kit-managed MCP servers

Script Kit syncs enabled servers into Claude Code's user MCP config when Agent Chat loads that provider.

File and Key

| File | Key | Purpose | |------|-----|---------| | ~/.scriptkit/config.ts | mcp | External MCP server definitions |

Shape

mcp: {
  enabled: true,
  servers: {
    notion: {
      transport: "http",
      endpoint: "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp",
    },
    github: {
      transport: "stdio",
      command: "npx",
      args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
    },
  },
},

Supported Transports

HTTP

linear: {
  transport: "http",
  endpoint: "https://mcp.linear.app/sse",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LINEAR_API_KEY ?? ""}`,
  },
},

Fields:

  • endpoint
  • optional headers
  • optional enabled
  • optional name
  • optional description

stdio

filesystem: {
  transport: "stdio",
  command: "npx",
  args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "~/Documents"],
  env: {},
  cwd: "~/.scriptkit",
},

Fields:

  • command
  • optional args
  • optional env
  • optional cwd
  • optional enabled
  • optional name
  • optional description

Workflow

  1. Edit ~/.scriptkit/config.ts
  2. Add or update entries under mcp.servers
  3. Keep server ids stable; they are how scripts address servers with mcp.call("server-id", ...)
  4. Disable a server with enabled: false instead of deleting it when the user wants a reversible change

Script Usage

const servers = await mcp.listServers()
const tools = await mcp.listTools("github")
const result = await mcp.call("github", "search_repositories", { query: "script kit" })

Common Mistakes

  • Editing ~/.scriptkit/config.ts instead of ~/.scriptkit/config.ts
  • Putting MCP server config under claudeCode instead of top-level mcp
  • Renaming a server id without updating scripts that call it
  • Leaving command or endpoint empty
  • Storing secrets inline when process.env.* is available
