11
+ ### Added
12
+
13
+ - MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers: the model can use tools from Jira, GitHub, AWS, databases and
14
+ more, with your approval for every call.
15
+ - `lcode mcp add <name>` sets up a ready-made server and tests it: `atlassian`, `aws`,
16
+ `aws-knowledge`, `google-drive`, `grafana`, `gcp`, `github`, `playwright`, `context7`, `sentry`,
17
+ `postgres`, `kubernetes`, `linear` and `notion` (`lcode mcp catalog` lists them).
18
+ - Any other server works too, local (stdio) or remote (Streamable HTTP), configured in
19
+ `~/.config/lcode/mcp.json` in the standard `mcpServers` format, or per project in `.mcp.json`
20
+ (used only after you approve it).
21
+ - Browser sign-in (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration) with automatic token
22
+ refresh; `lcode mcp login/logout`.
23
+ - Speaks both the current MCP protocol (2026-07-28) and the earlier `initialize`-based versions.
24
+ - When the tool definitions would take more than 15% of the context window, the model finds tools
25
+ on demand instead (`mcp_tools` setting). `/mcp` shows servers, tools and their context cost;
26
+ `lcode --no-mcp` starts without them.
27
+
28
+ ### Fixed
29
+
30
+ - `lcode bench`: stopping a run with Ctrl+C no longer leaves the running task's temporary folder
31
+ behind, and the summary marks the model as stopped.
32
+ - `lcode bench` no longer lists the model it's about to benchmark as "already loaded".

+ # MCP servers
2
+
3
+ The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) lets lcode use tools from other
4
+ systems: your issue tracker, GitHub, cloud accounts, databases, dashboards, a browser. Each MCP server
5
+ adds a set of tools that the model can call, just like reading files or running commands, and every
6
+ call is shown to you for approval first.
7
+
8
+ ```bash
9
+ lcode mcp catalog # ready-made servers
10
+ lcode mcp add atlassian # add one (signs you in through the browser)
11
+ lcode mcp list # check that your servers work
12
+ ```
13
+
14
+ Then start `lcode` as usual and ask, for example, *"Summarize the open bugs assigned to me in Jira
15
+ and find the code for the top one."*
16
+
17
+ ## Ready-made servers
18
+
19
+ `lcode mcp add <name>` sets these up, asks for anything they need and tests the connection:
20
+
21
+ | Name | What it gives the model | You need |
22
+ |---|---|---|
23
+ | `atlassian` | Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Compass, Bitbucket | an Atlassian account (browser sign-in) |
24
+ | `aws` | AWS CLI commands on your account, read-only unless you change it | `uvx` and AWS credentials |
25
+ | `aws-knowledge` | Current AWS documentation, code samples, regional availability | nothing |
26
+ | `google-drive` | Search, read and create files in Google Drive | your own Google OAuth client ([below](#google-drive)) |
27
+ | `grafana` | Dashboards, Prometheus and Loki queries, alerts, incidents | `uvx`, a Grafana service account token |
28
+ | `gcp` | `gcloud` commands on your Google Cloud projects | `npx` and the `gcloud` CLI, signed in |
29
+ | `github` | Repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions | a GitHub token (or the GitHub CLI) |
30
+ | `playwright` | A real (headless) browser: open pages, click, fill forms | `npx` |
31
+ | `context7` | Up-to-date docs and examples for thousands of libraries | nothing (an API key is optional) |
32
+ | `sentry` | Errors, issues, traces and releases | a Sentry account (browser sign-in) |
33
+ | `postgres` | Schemas, read-only queries, query performance | `uvx`, a connection URL |
34
+ | `kubernetes` | Pods, deployments, logs and events, read-only | `npx` and a kubeconfig |
35
+ | `linear` | Issues, projects and cycles | a Linear account (browser sign-in) |
36
+ | `notion` | Pages and databases | a Notion account (browser sign-in) |
37
+
38
+ `npx` comes with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (18 or newer) and `uvx` with
39
+ [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). `lcode mcp catalog` shows what's missing
40
+ on your machine.
41
+
42
+ Servers that can change things start read-only where the server supports it (`aws`, `postgres`,
43
+ `kubernetes`); the setup note tells you which setting to change to allow writes.
44
+
45
+ ### Signing in
46
+
47
+ Atlassian, Sentry, Linear and Notion use OAuth: lcode opens your browser, you sign in and approve
48
+ access, and the browser hands a code back to lcode on `localhost`. lcode stores the tokens in
49
+ `~/.local/state/lcode/mcp-auth/` (readable only by you) and refreshes them automatically.
50
+
51
+ ```bash
52
+ lcode mcp login atlassian # sign in again, e.g. after revoking access
53
+ lcode mcp logout atlassian # forget the tokens
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ In a session, `/mcp login <name>` does the same. On a machine without a browser, lcode prints the
57
+ sign-in URL; open it on any computer that can reach the machine's `localhost` (for example through an
58
+ SSH tunnel), or sign in on your own machine and copy `~/.local/state/lcode/mcp-auth/`.
59
+
60
+ Atlassian organizations can also allow API tokens instead; see
61
+ [Atlassian's guide](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/rovo-mcp/guides/configuring-authentication-via-api-token/)
62
+ and add the server [by hand](#adding-your-own-servers) with an `Authorization` header.
63
+
64
+ ### GitHub
65
+
66
+ `lcode mcp add github` offers the GitHub CLI's token if you use `gh`; otherwise create a
67
+ [fine-grained token](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new) with access to the
68
+ repositories you want. Only the `repos`, `issues`, `pull_requests` and `actions` toolsets are on, to
69
+ keep the tool list short; change `X-MCP-Toolsets` in `mcp.json` for
70
+ [others](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server#available-toolsets).
71
+
72
+ ### Google Drive
73
+
74
+ Google doesn't let apps register themselves, so the Drive server needs an OAuth client from your own
75
+ Google Cloud project:
76
+
77
+ 1. In a Google Cloud project, enable the **Google Drive API** and the **Google Drive MCP API**.
78
+ 2. Configure the OAuth consent screen (while it's in testing, add yourself as a test user).
79
+ 3. Create an **OAuth client ID** of type **Desktop app**, and copy its ID and secret.
80
+ 4. Run `lcode mcp add google-drive` and paste them; lcode then signs you in through the browser.
81
+
82
+ See [Google's guide](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/configure-mcp-servers) for
83
+ details.
84
+
85
+ ## Adding your own servers
86
+
87
+ Any MCP server works. For a remote server, give its URL; for a local one, the command that starts it:
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ lcode mcp add tracker --url https://mcp.example.com/mcp
91
+ lcode mcp add tracker --url https://mcp.example.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer \${TRACKER_TOKEN}"
92
+ lcode mcp add notes -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /home/me/notes
93
+ lcode mcp add db --env DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/app -- uvx some-postgres-mcp
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ Servers are saved in `~/.config/lcode/mcp.json` in the `mcpServers` format that most MCP servers
97
+ document, so you can also paste a server's example config into that file:
98
+
99
+ ```json
100
+ {
101
+ "mcpServers": {
102
+ "tracker": {
103
+ "type": "http",
104
+ "url": "https://mcp.example.com/mcp",
105
+ "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${TRACKER_TOKEN}" }
106
+ },
107
+ "notes": {
108
+ "command": "npx",
109
+ "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/home/me/notes"],
110
+ "tools": ["read_file", "search_files"],
111
+ "allow": ["read_file"]
112
+ }
113
+ }
114
+ }
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ | Key | Meaning |
118
+ |---|---|
119
+ | `command`, `args`, `env` | A local server, started by lcode and spoken to over stdin/stdout |
120
+ | `type: "http"`, `url`, `headers` | A remote server (Streamable HTTP). Without an `Authorization` header, lcode signs in with OAuth when the server asks for it |
121
+ | `tools` | Only offer these tools to the model (fewer tools save context and help smaller models) |
122
+ | `allow` | Tools that run without asking; `["*"]` for all of the server's tools |
123
+ | `timeout` | Seconds a tool call may take (default 300) |
124
+ | `disabled` | `true` to turn the server off (`lcode mcp disable <name>`) |
125
+ | `oauth` | For servers that need a pre-registered OAuth client: `client_id`, `client_secret`, `scopes`, `authorize_params` |
126
+
127
+ Values can use environment variables: `${NAME}`, or `${NAME:-default}`. Keep tokens in environment
128
+ variables if you prefer not to store them in the file; `mcp.json` is created readable only by you
129
+ either way.
130
+
131
+ Servers that only offer the old HTTP+SSE transport (URLs ending in `/sse`) aren't supported. Most of
132
+ them also have a Streamable HTTP endpoint (often `/mcp`); otherwise bridge one with
133
+ `npx -y mcp-remote <url>` as a local server.
134
+
135
+ ### Project servers
136
+
137
+ A repository can share servers with everyone who works on it in a `.mcp.json` at its root, in the same
138
+ format. Because those servers run programs or connect to services on your behalf, lcode asks before
139
+ using them the first time, and again whenever the file changes.
140
+
141
+ ## In a session
142
+
143
+ The banner lists your servers. They start in the background, and lcode waits for them (at most a
144
+ couple of minutes, the first time `npx` or `uvx` downloads a server) before your first request.
145
+

157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ A server that can't start shows `failed` with the reason (for example, a missing environment
160
+ variable), and one that needs you to sign in shows `needs sign-in`; the others work normally.
161

166
+ | `/mcp login <name>` | Sign in (or again) and reconnect |
167
+ | `/mcp restart <name>` | Restart a server, e.g. after changing its settings |
168
+
169
+ Start a session without MCP servers with `lcode --no-mcp`.
170
+
171
+ ### Approvals
172
+
173
+ Every MCP tool call shows the server, the tool and its arguments, and waits for your answer, in the
174
+ `ask` and `auto-edit` modes alike: answer ++y++ (once), ++a++ (always, for this tool, until you quit)
175
+ or ++n++ with an optional reason. Only `yolo` mode, or the server's `allow` list, skips the question.
176
+
177
+ ### Context
178
+
179
+ Every tool definition is sent to the model with every request. A few servers can add tens of
180
+ thousands of tokens, which leaves less room for your code and makes smaller models pick the wrong
181
+ tool. So when the definitions would take more than 15% of the context window, lcode doesn't send
182
+ them: the model sees the tool names, looks up the ones it needs with `mcp_find_tools` and calls them
183
+ with `mcp_call`. `/mcp` and `/context` show which way is used.
184
+
185
+ | `mcp_tools` setting | |
186
+ |---|---|
187
+ | `auto` (default) | Send the definitions if they fit in 15% of the context, otherwise on demand |
188
+ | `direct` | Always send them |
189
+ | `search` | Always on demand |
190
+
191
+ ```bash
192
+ lcode config set mcp_tools search
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ Limiting a server's `tools` in `mcp.json` is the best fix for a crowded tool list. Some servers are
196
+ large: Grafana offers about 80 tools and Playwright about 25, while most have a handful.
197
+
198
+ ## Troubleshooting
199
+
200
+ - `lcode mcp list` connects to every server and shows what's wrong.
201
+ - A local server's error output is in `~/.local/state/lcode/mcp-logs/<name>.log`.
202
+ - **A `uvx` server fails with a Python error:** some servers don't work on the newest Python yet;
203
+ the ready-made ones pin Python 3.12 with `--python 3.12`, which you can add to your own. A
204
+ `No module named 'mcp.server.fastmcp'` error means the server needs version 1 of the MCP Python
205
+ SDK: add `"--with", "mcp<2"` before the package name in its `args`.
206
+ - **"needs sign-in":** run `lcode mcp login <name>`. If the sign-in page says the redirect URL isn't
207
+ allowed, the service needs a pre-registered client (see [Google Drive](#google-drive)).
208
+ - **Very slow first start:** `npx -y` and `uvx` download the server the first time.
209
+
210
+ ## Protocol support
211
+
212
+ lcode implements MCP tools over stdio and Streamable HTTP, for both the current protocol
213
+ (`2026-07-28`, stateless) and the earlier `initialize`-based versions (`2025-11-25` and before), and
214
+ the MCP authorization spec (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, protected-resource discovery, dynamic client
215
+ registration and refresh tokens). MCP resources, prompts, sampling and elicitation aren't supported
216
+ yet.
