FAQPage Schema
How do I add an MCP server to Warp?

To add an MCP server to Warp, you provide the server name and choose a scope. The configuration is then safely added or updated in the correct JSON file, preserving existing wrapper keys and server entries.

What is the difference between global and project-scoped MCP server configuration?

Global MCP server configuration applies across all repositories and user environments, while project-scoped configuration targets a specific repository. The skill helps determine the appropriate scope and locates the correct config file for either approach.

Can I add both command-based and URL-based MCP server transports in Warp?

Yes, you can add both command-based and URL-based MCP server transports. The configuration process supports both transport types, safely adding or updating the server entries while preserving existing configurations in the JSON file.

Will configuring a new MCP server overwrite my existing Warp config?

Configuring a new MCP server will not overwrite your existing Warp config. The process preserves existing wrapper keys and server entries, safely adding or updating only the specific server configuration you are targeting.

What do I need to start configuring MCP servers across my repositories?

To start configuring MCP servers, you need the server name and the desired scope, either global or project. The configuration process will create missing files or update existing ones to integrate the MCP server across your repositories.
