MCP Servers Index

This repository serves as an index and collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for the Cyclotron Azure organization. MCP is an open protocol that enables secure connections between host applications (like Claude Desktop, VS Code, or other AI tools) and data sources.

Purpose

The MCP Servers Index repository provides:

• A curated list of available MCP servers with descriptions and usage instructions
• Example configurations for integrating MCP servers with VS Code and other tools
• Documentation and best practices for MCP server development and deployment
• Sample configurations to help users get started quickly

Using MCP Servers with VS Code

Prerequisites

1. VS Code: Ensure you have Visual Studio Code installed
2. MCP Extension: Install the MCP extension for VS Code (when available)
3. Node.js: Some MCP servers may require Node.js runtime

Configuration

To use MCP servers with VS Code, you'll need to create or modify your mcp.json configuration file. This file should be placed in your VS Code settings directory or workspace.

Basic Setup

1. Create an mcp.json file in your project root or VS Code settings folder
2. Configure the MCP servers you want to use
3. Restart VS Code to apply the configuration

Configuration Options

Each MCP server entry in the configuration supports the following options:

• command: The executable command to run the server
• args: Array of command-line arguments
• env: Environment variables for the server process
• cwd: Working directory for the server process (optional)

Environment Variables

Many MCP servers require API keys or other configuration through environment variables. You can set these in:

1. System environment variables
2. The env section of your mcp.json
3. A .env file (if supported by the server)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Server not starting: Check that the command path is correct and dependencies are installed
2. Permission errors: Ensure the server has appropriate file system permissions
3. API key issues: Verify that required API keys are properly set in environment variables

Debug Mode

To enable debug logging for MCP servers:

1. Set the environment variable MCP_DEBUG=true
2. Check VS Code's output panel for MCP-related logs
3. Review server-specific logs in the configured working directory
