Adding a server
Open Settings → MCP Servers and click Add server. The quickest way is to pick from Popular servers. It lists over forty ready-made servers, filtered by category such as Developer, Productivity, Content, Data & AI, Commerce, Analytics, and Communication. Pick one and the address and sign-in method are filled in for you. For any other server, choose Advanced and fill in:- Name: How the server appears in your list, for example “My Linear”.
- Server URL: The address of the server.
- Transport: Streamable HTTP for current servers. Choose SSE (legacy) only if the server’s documentation asks for it.
- Authentication: OAuth (sign in) if the server signs you in through your browser, or API headers if it expects a key. Headers are optional and are sent with every request, for example
Authorization: Bearer ….
Header values are stored write-only. Once saved, Macaly never shows them again. To change them, add new rows, or leave the fields empty to keep what’s stored.
Choosing which tools the agent can use
After the first successful connection, the server’s tools are listed under it, grouped into Read-only tools, Write tools, and Destructive tools. Every tool has its own switch, and Turn all on and Turn all off cover the whole server. To start with, we recommend leaving only the read-only tools on. Turn on write or destructive tools once you want the agent to change something in that service. The agent only sees the tools you’ve enabled.Server status
Each server shows its state:- Connected: Ready to use.
- Sign-in needed: The OAuth session has expired or was never completed. Click Retry and sign in. Tools stay hidden until you complete the sign-in.
- Unreachable: The server didn’t answer the last time Macaly tried. Last error shows what went wrong, and Retry tries again.
