Quick Start: Generic MCP

If your MCP client launches local subprocess servers over stdio, use this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-v8": {
      "command": "mcp-v8",
      "args": ["--directory-path", "/tmp/mcp-v8-heaps"]
    }
  }
}

If your client connects to remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers, start mcp-v8 like this:

mcp-v8 --directory-path /tmp/mcp-v8-heaps --http-port 3000

Then point the client at:

http://localhost:3000/mcp

For clients with JSON-based MCP configuration, that usually means a config like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-v8": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
