Running MCP Servers

Stdio​

For stdio servers, the client launches the server binary:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/my-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "RUST_LOG": "info"
      }
    }
  }
}

HTTP (Streamable HTTP / SSE)​

For HTTP servers, run the binary directly and connect via URL:

./my-mcp-server
# Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080

Environment Variables​

RUST_LOG=info ./my-mcp-server         # Standard logging
