+# MCP Integration
+
+GenCode supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing you to extend the agent with external tools and data sources through MCP servers. The configuration format is compatible with Claude Code.
+
+## What is MCP?
+
+Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools, data sources, and services. MCP servers can provide:
+
+- **Tools**: Functions the agent can call (e.g., GitHub API, database queries)
+- **Resources**: Data sources the agent can read (e.g., files, web content)
+- **Prompts**: Pre-defined prompt templates
+
+GenCode currently supports **Tools** with Resources and Prompts planned for future releases.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Local MCP Server (Stdio)
+
+Create `.gen/.mcp.json` in your project:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/dir"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Start GenCode and the filesystem server will automatically connect:
+
+```bash
+gencode
+```
+
+The agent now has access to MCP tools like `mcp_filesystem_read_file`, `mcp_filesystem_list_directory`, etc.
+
+### Remote MCP Server (HTTP)
+
+Create `~/.gen/.mcp.json` for user-wide access:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "github": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "https://mcp.github.com",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Set your token:
+
+```bash
+export GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_your_token_here"
+gencode
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Configuration Scopes
+
+MCP servers can be configured at multiple levels with fallback:
+
+| Priority | Scope | Location | Purpose |
+|----------|-------|----------|---------|
+| 1 | Managed (gen) | `/Library/Application Support/GenCode/managed-mcp.json` | System-wide enforced |
+| 2 | Managed (claude) | `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-mcp.json` | Claude Code managed |
+| 3 | Local (gen) | `~/.gen.json` (under project) | Personal project config |
+| 4 | Local (claude) | `~/.claude.json` (under project) | Claude Code local config |
+| 5 | Project (gen) | `.gen/.mcp.json` | Shared with team (version control) |
+| 6 | Project (claude) | `.claude/.mcp.json` | Claude Code project config |
+| 7 | User (gen) | `~/.gen/.mcp.json` | Available across all projects |
+| 8 | User (claude) | `~/.claude/.mcp.json` | Claude Code user config |
+
+**Note**: First match wins. If a server is defined in multiple locations, the highest priority configuration is used.
+
+### Server Types
+
+#### Stdio (Local Processes)
+
+Run a local MCP server as a subprocess:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "stdio",
+  "command": "/path/to/server",
+  "args": ["--config", "config.json"],
+  "env": {
+    "API_KEY": "${API_KEY}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fields**:
+- `command`: Executable path or command name
+- `args`: Command arguments (optional)
+- `env`: Environment variables (optional)
+- `enabled`: Set to `false` to disable (optional)
+
+#### HTTP (Remote Servers - Recommended)
+
+Connect to a remote MCP server via HTTP:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "http",
+  "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
+  "headers": {
+    "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}",
+    "X-Custom-Header": "value"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fields**:
+- `url`: Server URL
+- `headers`: HTTP headers (optional)
+- `enabled`: Set to `false` to disable (optional)
+
+**Transport Fallback**: GenCode tries StreamableHTTP first, then falls back to SSE if the server doesn't support it.
+
+#### SSE (Server-Sent Events - Legacy)
+
+Connect via Server-Sent Events:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "sse",
+  "url": "https://mcp.example.com/sse",
+  "headers": {
+    "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Fields**: Same as HTTP.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Use `${VAR}` or `${VAR:-default}` syntax for environment variable expansion:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "api": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "${API_URL:-https://api.example.com}/mcp",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_KEY}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Supported Syntax**:
+- `${VAR}` - Replace with environment variable value, empty string if not set
+- `${VAR:-default}` - Replace with environment variable value, or default if not set
+
+**Expansion Locations**:
+- `command`, `args`, `env` (stdio)
+- `url`, `headers` (HTTP/SSE)
+
+## Tool Namespacing
+
+MCP tools are namespaced to avoid conflicts:
+
+```
+Original MCP tool: "create_issue"
+From server: "github"
+GenCode tool name: "mcp_github_create_issue"
+```
+
+The agent sees MCP tools alongside built-in tools and can call them naturally:
+
+```
+> Create an issue in the GitHub repo titled "Bug fix"
+```
+
+The agent will use `mcp_github_create_issue` if the GitHub MCP server is connected.
+
+## Authentication
+
+### OAuth 2.0 (Remote Servers)
+
+Some remote MCP servers require OAuth authentication:
+
+1. Configure server with OAuth endpoint
+2. Run OAuth flow (opens browser)
+3. Tokens are stored securely in `~/.gen/mcp-auth.json` (0600 permissions)
+4. Tokens are automatically refreshed when expired
+
+**OAuth Flow Example**:
+
+```bash
+# Start gencode (will prompt for auth if needed)
+gencode
+
+# Or trigger auth manually
+# TODO: Add CLI commands for auth
+```
+
+### API Tokens (Simple Auth)
+
+For simpler authentication, use environment variables:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "api": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+export API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+gencode
+```

+
+## Examples
+
+### Filesystem Server
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
+        "/Users/you/projects"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Tools provided**:
+- `mcp_filesystem_read_file` - Read file contents
+- `mcp_filesystem_write_file` - Write file contents
+- `mcp_filesystem_list_directory` - List directory contents
+
+### GitHub Server
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "github": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
+      "env": {
+        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Tools provided**:
+- `mcp_github_create_issue` - Create GitHub issue
+- `mcp_github_create_pull_request` - Create pull request
+- `mcp_github_search_repositories` - Search repositories
+- And more...
+
+### PostgreSQL Server
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "postgres": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres"],
+      "env": {
+        "POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING": "${DATABASE_URL}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Tools provided**:
+- `mcp_postgres_query` - Execute SQL queries
+- `mcp_postgres_list_tables` - List database tables
+- `mcp_postgres_describe_table` - Describe table schema
+
+## Permission System
+
+MCP tools go through the same permission system as built-in tools. You can allow/deny MCP tools by pattern:
+
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": {
+    "allow": [
+      "mcp_github_*",        // Allow all GitHub MCP tools
+      "mcp_*_read_*"         // Allow all read operations
+    ],
+    "deny": [
+      "mcp_*_delete_*"       // Deny all delete operations
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Server Won't Connect
+
+1. **Check configuration syntax** - Ensure JSON is valid
+2. **Verify command exists** - For stdio, ensure command is in PATH
+3. **Check environment variables** - Ensure all required env vars are set
+4. **Review logs** - Look for error messages in debug output
+
+Enable debug logging:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG=mcp:* gencode
+```
+
+### Tools Not Appearing
+
+1. **Server connected?** - Check server status
+2. **Enabled?** - Ensure `enabled` is not `false` in config
+3. **Permissions?** - Check if tools are blocked by permission rules
+
+### OAuth Issues
+
+1. **Callback server blocked?** - Ensure port 19876 is available
+2. **Browser didn't open?** - Manually visit the URL shown
+3. **Tokens expired?** - Re-authenticate to refresh tokens
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+1. **Too many servers?** - Disable unused servers with `"enabled": false`
+2. **Slow remote server?** - Increase timeout or use local server
+3. **Large responses?** - MCP tools may return large data
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Credential Storage
+
+- OAuth tokens stored in `~/.gen/mcp-auth.json` with 0600 permissions
+- Never commit `.mcp.json` files with hardcoded secrets
+- Always use environment variables for sensitive data
+
+### CSRF Protection
+
+- OAuth flow uses state parameter for CSRF protection
+- Callback server validates state before accepting authorization code
+
+### Command Injection
+
+- Stdio commands are executed directly (no shell)
+- Arguments are passed as array (no shell expansion)
+
+### SSRF Protection
+
+- Remote URLs must be explicitly configured by user
+- No automatic URL following or redirects
+
+### Network Security
+
+- HTTP connections should use HTTPS in production
+- Validate server certificates
+- Use secure headers for authentication
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Multiple Environments
+
+Use environment-specific configs:
+
+```bash
+# Development
+export API_URL="https://dev-api.example.com"
+
+# Production
+export API_URL="https://api.example.com"
+```
+
+Config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "api": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "${API_URL}/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional Server Loading
+
+Disable servers programmatically:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dev-db": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "mcp-postgres",
+      "enabled": false  // Disabled by default
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Enable via environment:
+
+```bash
+# Enable dev-db server
+# TODO: Add support for env-based enabled flag
+```
+
+### Custom Timeout
+
+Configure per-server timeout (planned):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "slow-server": {
+      "type": "http",
+      "url": "https://slow.example.com/mcp",
+      "timeout": 120000  // 2 minutes (planned feature)
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+Current limitations (planned improvements):
+
+1. **Resources not supported** - Only Tools are currently supported
+2. **Prompts not supported** - Prompt templates not yet implemented
+3. **No CLI commands** - Server management via config files only
+4. **No server status UI** - No visual indication of server health
+5. **Limited error recovery** - Failed servers don't auto-reconnect
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Planned features:
+
+- [ ] Resources support (read data sources)
+- [ ] Prompts support (template system)
+- [ ] CLI commands (`/mcp list`, `/mcp add`, etc.)
+- [ ] Server health monitoring
+- [ ] Auto-reconnect on failure
+- [ ] Streaming tool execution
+- [ ] Tool caching
+- [ ] Server discovery

+### Shell Operator Protection
+
+Commands containing shell operators are **never auto-approved**, even if they match an allow pattern. This prevents command injection attacks:
+
+| Operator | Example | Result |
+|----------|---------|--------|
+| `&&` | `git add . && rm -rf /` | Blocked |

+
+Simple commands without operators are still matched:
+
+```
+git add .           -> Allowed (matches "git add:*")
+git add . && rm -rf -> Blocked (has shell operator)
