MCP Integration

Elelem supports the Model Context Protocol for connecting to external tool servers.

Configuration

Create ~/.elelem/mcp.json (global) or .elelem/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "server-name": {
      "command": "path/to/server"
    }
  }
}

Server Types

Stdio - communicates via stdin/stdout:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myserver": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@example/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

HTTP - communicates via HTTP with SSE:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myserver": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OAuth

HTTP servers support OAuth automatically. Elelem handles the browser flow, token storage, and refresh.

Debugging

Logs are written to ~/.elelem/mcp.log.
