Connect Public MCP Servers to MCPX

Easily connect your existing public MCP servers to MCPX - we’ll take care of running and managing them for you. You can connect your MCP Servers using the MCPX Control Plane or by manually creating and configuring your mcp.json.

Configure mcp.json

Create or update your mcp.json configuration file:

cd config
nano mcp.json

For example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"
      ],
      "command": "npx",
      "env": {
        "MEMORY_FILE_PATH": "/path/to/custom/memory.json"
      },
      "icon": "📝"
    },
    "time": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-time",
        "--local-timezone=America/New_York"
      ],
      "command": "uvx",
      "env": {},
      "icon": "⏰"
    }
  }
}

See the mcp.json configuration guide for detailed information.
