MCP (Model Context Protocol)

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI models use external tools and data sources. Each MCP server exposes tools the AI can call — read files, query databases, send messages, and more. EnConvo has built-in MCP support. Add an MCP server and the AI can use its tools automatically.

Setting Up MCP Servers

From Settings UI

Open Settings → MCP Servers
Click Add Server
Choose transport type (stdio or HTTP), fill in the configuration
Toggle the switch to enable/disable

Via CLI

# Add a stdio server
enconvo mcp add github --command npx --args "-y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github"

# Add an HTTP server
enconvo mcp add notion --transport http --url "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp"

# List servers
enconvo mcp servers list

# List tools
enconvo mcp tools list

Import from Other Tools

If you have MCP configs from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other tools:

In Settings → MCP Servers, click Import
Paste your JSON configuration
Click Import to add all servers

Install Links

MCP servers can be installed with EnConvo deeplinks. It uses the same format as mcp.json with a name and transport configuration. Install links:

https://enconvo.com/mcp/install?name=$NAME&config=$BASE64_ENCODED_CONFIG

Component	Description
`https://enconvo.com`	Web install page
`/mcp/install`	Path
`name`	Query parameter for server name
`config`	Query parameter for base64 encoded JSON configuration

The web page auto-launches the enconvo:// deeplink and shows the server configuration as fallback.

Generate install link

Get name and JSON configuration of server
JSON.stringify the configuration then base64 encode it
Replace $NAME and $BASE64_ENCODED_CONFIG with the name and encoded config

Example

Try this JSON in the MCP install link generator:

Single MCP server config

{
  "exa": {
    "url": "https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp"
  }
}

Result:

Format	Example
Text link	`https://enconvo.com/mcp/install?name=exa&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5leGEuYWkvbWNwIn0=`

Install server

Click the link or paste into browser
EnConvo opens the MCP Servers settings pane
The server is added and starts connecting automatically
Once connected, its tools are available to the AI

Troubleshooting

Server fails to start

Verify the command and arguments in your configuration
For stdio servers, ensure the binary is installed and in your PATH
For Node.js servers, ensure npx or node is available

Tools not appearing

Confirm the server is in Connected status
Some servers require API keys before exposing tools
Try disconnecting and reconnecting the server

Authentication errors

Verify API keys are correct and not expired
Check that required environment variables are set
