MCP Servers#

Llamatik Code is an IDE-native MCP (Model Context Protocol) host. Connect any MCP-compatible tool server and let the agent call its tools through the same pipeline as built-in tools.

Available since version 1.4.0.

Adding a server#

  1. Open Settings → Llamatik Code → MCP Servers.
  2. Click Add server.
  3. Fill in the server details:
FieldDescription
NameA label for the server (e.g., github, filesystem)
CommandThe executable to run (e.g., npx, uvx, python)
ArgumentsOne per line (e.g., -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-github)
Environment variablesKEY=VALUE pairs for secrets or config
Working directoryOptional; defaults to the project root
Auto-startStart automatically when the project opens
Trust levelLOW / MEDIUM / HIGH — affects default approval behaviour
  1. Click Test connection to verify the server starts and lists its tools.

Managing servers#

  • Enable / disable — toggle a server without removing its configuration.
  • Refresh tools — re-discovers tools from a running server after an update.
  • View logs — shows the last 1000 lines of stderr. Useful for debugging.
  • Edit — modify any field; changes take effect on the next connection.
  • Remove — stops the server and removes the configuration.

How MCP tools appear in the agent#

Discovered MCP tools are bridged as first-class agent tools under mcp_<serverName>_<toolName>. They appear in the agent trace like built-in tools.

You can also control MCP servers directly using six built-in agent tools:

ToolDescription
mcp_list_serversList all configured servers and their connection status
mcp_list_toolsList tools exposed by a specific server
mcp_call_toolCall a tool on a specific server with arguments
mcp_list_resourcesList resources exposed by a server
mcp_read_resourceRead a named resource from a server
mcp_list_promptsList prompt templates exposed by a server

Approval flow#

Every MCP tool call triggers an approval dialog showing the server name, tool name, arguments, and risk level.

Risk levels:

  • LOW — read-only or informational tools
  • MEDIUM — tools that modify local state
  • HIGH — tools containing write, delete, execute, deploy, send, push, or similar keywords — never auto-approved

Free tier#

  • Allow once or Deny on every call.
  • No persistent approval rules.

Pro tier#

  • Allow always for this tool — skip future prompts for this specific tool.
  • Allow always for this server — auto-approve all non-HIGH-risk tools from this server.

Security#

  • MCP servers run as isolated child processes. A crashed server does not affect other features.
  • Secrets (API keys, tokens, Authorization header values) are redacted from all logs and trace output.
  • The UI displays a warning when a server’s description indicates it may call external APIs.
