Overview

Central MCP Host is a project that centralizes Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to run on a home lab environment using Docker, Traefik, and SuperGateway.

To use Central MCP Host, clone the repository, set up your API tokens in the .env file, and start the services using Docker Compose.

  • Centralized hosting for multiple MCP servers - Modular Docker Compose structure for easy management - Path-based routing with Traefik for service access - Integration with Notion, Linear, GitHub, and Memory Bank
  1. Running multiple MCP servers in a home lab setup
  2. Managing project notes and tasks through integrated services
  3. Interacting with GitHub repositories and issues seamlessly

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-central-mcp-proxy-odgrim"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-central-mcp-proxy-odgrim"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-central-mcp-proxy-odgrim"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-central-mcp-proxy-odgrim"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-central-mcp-proxy-odgrim"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "central-mcp-proxy-odgrim": {
      "command": "npx",
