MCP Server Config Generator

Build a generic MCP server config skeleton for Claude, Cursor, local development, documentation examples, and custom MCP clients.

Generate safe MCP server JSON config templates for Claude, Cursor, filesystem, GitHub, browser, database, docs, and custom servers. Browser-only. Everything runs locally in the browser: no AI API, no login, no database, and no uploaded config.

Browser-only inputs. Use environment variable names, not real secrets.

Generated output

Review before production. This is a planning template.

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/path/to/workspace"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MCP_SERVER_TOKEN": "${MCP_SERVER_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}
Generated configs are planning templates. Review server documentation and never paste real secrets into shared config files.
Use variable names such as GITHUB_TOKEN or DATABASE_URL. Keep actual values in local .env files or secret managers.
Restart Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your MCP client after editing configuration, then test read-only actions first.

FAQ

What does this MCP Server Config Generator output?

It outputs JSON config, README snippets, or setup checklists for common MCP server categories and client targets.

Can this generate configs for any MCP client?

It focuses on the common mcpServers structure used by many clients. Always verify client-specific requirements before use.

Does this install or validate MCP servers?

No. It does not install packages, call APIs, connect accounts, or validate a live server.

How should I handle env variables?

Use names such as GITHUB_TOKEN or DATABASE_URL in generated examples, and store real values outside committed files.

Can I use the output in documentation?

Yes. Choose README snippet output for documentation drafts, but label examples clearly and avoid real credentials.

Plan your MCP setup safely

This tool generates planning templates only. Review official server documentation before using any config.
