Generate portable or VS Code MCP server JSON for a local stdio command or a remote HTTP endpoint.

Developers preparing a reviewable MCP client configuration without starting a server.

Free to use. Your inputs are processed in this browser and are not included in usage analytics.

The executable path, without shell arguments.

Example: ["server.js"]

String values only. Review configuration before sharing it.

String values only; use placeholders rather than real credentials.

How to use mcp server config generator

  1. Choose portable .mcp.json or the VS Code .vscode/mcp.json destination.
  2. Configure a stdio executable with a JSON argument array, or an HTTP URL with headers.
  3. Review and copy the generated JSON into the selected file; start the server from your client when ready.

What to know about the result

  • Only fields for the selected transport are included; fields for the other transport are ignored. This creates configuration text only and never runs commands, opens endpoints, installs packages, or tests server availability.
  • Portable configuration uses mcpServers; VS Code configuration uses servers. Review support in your intended client and keep credentials out of shared files.
