MCP servers you use
MCP servers give your agents extra tools: a file system, GitHub, a browser, documentation and more. In OmniGet you connect a server once, test it, then decide tool by tool which agents may use it; adding a server does not grant any permission.
Where it is
LLM › Configure › MCP, in the Servers you use half. The other half, Your endpoint, is for the opposite direction: see OmniGet as an MCP server.
How to use it
Add a server
- Open LLM › Configure › MCP and click Add a server.
- Give it a Name and an Id. The id takes lowercase letters, digits,
-and_, and cannot change later. - Choose the Transport:
- stdio: a program OmniGet starts. Fill in Command, Arguments, Environment (one
NAME=valueper line) and, if needed, Working directory. - HTTP: a server already running. Fill in the URL and Headers (one
Name: valueper line).
- stdio: a program OmniGet starts. Fill in Command, Arguments, Environment (one
- Leave Enabled on and click Save.
- Click Test. OmniGet starts the server and lists its tools, for example “… tools in … ms”.
Paste a config from another app
Under Advanced settings, Paste a config accepts the mcpServers block from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Windsurf. Click Read the config; each server opens in the form for you to review, and nothing is saved until you do.
Start from the registry
Registry lists known servers, such as Filesystem, GitHub, Fetch and Playwright. Configure only fills the form with a working config and tells you what you still have to fill in; nothing is downloaded and nothing connects until you save and test.
Allow tools per agent
- Next to a server, click Permissions. The panel is titled What may run on the server.
- For each tool and each agent, choose a mode.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| — | No permission. The tool is not offered to the model at all. This is the default. |
| Auto | The agent uses the tool without asking. |
| Ask | The turn stops and waits for your approval. |
| Deny | The agent cannot use the tool. |
If the list is empty (No tool yet.), test the server first so OmniGet can discover what it exposes. The same modes appear in each agent’s Tools and limits (Agents, memory and skills).
Options
| Option | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Transport | stdio or HTTP. | stdio |
| Enabled | Turns the server off without removing it. A disabled server shows off. | On |
| Edit / Remove | Change or delete the server. |
The server list is saved in OmniGet’s data folder, and secrets in the system vault.
Common problems
“The server could not be started.”
For stdio, the Command was not found or failed. Run the same command in a terminal to see its error, and check the Working directory.
“The server could not be reached.”
For HTTP, check the URL and that the server is running. The address must start with http:// or https://.
“No MCP server found in that text.”
Paste a config expects an mcpServers (or servers) block. Paste the whole JSON object, braces included.
