My MCP Servers

The My MCP Servers page manages your Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connections. MCP servers give Claude the ability to interact with external services and APIs — fetching data, executing actions, and connecting to tools beyond its built-in capabilities.

What Are MCP Servers?

The Model Context Protocol is a standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and services. Each MCP server exposes a set of capabilities (called tools) that Claude can use during conversations. For example, an MCP server might provide access to a database, a project management tool, or a custom internal API.

MCP servers are typically added to your workspace when you install plugins from the Plugin Directory. You can also add custom connections to your own MCP endpoints.

Browsing Your Servers

The server table displays the following information for each connection:

• Server ID — The unique kebab-case identifier
• Name — The display name of the server
• URL — The endpoint URL that Claude connects to
• Plugin — Which plugin the server belongs to (click to view)
• Source — Whether the server is System, Official, or Custom
• Enabled — Whether the connection is currently active
• Actions — Edit or delete the server

The page also shows summary stats: the total number of servers and how many are currently enabled.

Searching

Use the search bar to find servers by name or ID.

Adding a New MCP Server

Click the + Add MCP Server button to open the side panel form. Fill in the following fields:

• Server ID — A unique identifier in kebab-case (e.g., my-api-server). This cannot be changed after creation.
• Display Name — A human-readable name for the server
• Description — A brief explanation of what the server provides
• Endpoint URL — The full URL of the MCP server endpoint

Editing and Deleting Servers

Use the action buttons to edit or delete server connections. Editing opens the side panel where you can update the display name, description, and endpoint URL. Deleting a server removes the connection from your workspace.

Enabling and Disabling Servers

You can enable or disable MCP servers without deleting them. Disabled servers remain in your configuration but are not available to Claude during conversations. This is useful for temporarily turning off a connection without losing the configuration.

Tips

• Make sure endpoint URLs are accessible from the systemprompt.io platform
• If an MCP server requires authentication, configure the necessary secrets on the My Secrets page
• Check the server's source to understand where it came from — System servers are managed by the platform, Official servers come from marketplace plugins, and Custom servers are ones you added manually
