FAQPage Schema
How do I add an MCP server configuration to mcp.json?▼

To add an MCP server, this skill determines your configuration scope (global or project), writes the updated mcpServers entry into the existing mcp.json, and verifies the connection using a reload workflow.

Can I configure both local and remote MCP servers?▼

Yes, you can configure both local and remote MCP servers. The skill supports stdio-based local servers for running local processes and HTTP-based remote servers for connecting to remote URLs within your mcp.json.

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

Global MCP server configuration applies across all projects, while project-local configuration is restricted to the current project. The skill determines the appropriate scope and writes the configuration to the corresponding mcp.json file.

How do I verify an MCP server connection after updating the config?▼

To verify an MCP server connection, the skill provides a verification workflow that uses the /reload command and mcp calls to test and troubleshoot the newly registered server connection.

Will configuring a new MCP server overwrite my existing mcp.json settings?▼

Configuring a new MCP server will not overwrite existing settings. The skill reads and merges your current mcp.json content, writes the updated mcpServers entry, and preserves your prior configurations.
