Adding MCP Servers¶

Via Web UI¶

Open http://localhost:3701
Click Add MCP Server
Enter a GitHub repo URL, npm package, or Docker image
The detector auto-configures the server
Enter any required environment variables (stored in .env)
Click Provision

The server starts automatically and its tools appear in the tool list.

Via Command Line¶

1. Add the Docker service¶

Add a service to docker-compose.yaml:

my-server:
  image: some-mcp-server:latest
  container_name: my-server
  command: ["node", "index.js", "stdio"]
  stdin_open: true
  tty: true
  environment:
    - API_KEY=${MY_API_KEY}
  networks:
    - emcp-network
  restart: unless-stopped

Add the API key to .env:

MY_API_KEY=your_key_here

2. Create the registration config¶

// configs/my-server.json
{
    "name": "my-server",
    "transport": "stdio",
    "description": "My MCP server",
    "command": "docker",
    "args": ["exec", "-i", "my-server", "node", "index.js", "stdio"]
}

3. Start and register¶

docker compose up -d my-server
docker exec emcp-server /mcpjungle register -c /configs/my-server.json

4. Select tools¶

Open the web UI and toggle tools on, or edit groups/emcp-global.json directly.

Removing a Server¶

docker exec emcp-server /mcpjungle deregister my-server
docker compose rm -sf my-server
rm configs/my-server.json
