Overview

MCP Crew AI Server is a lightweight Python-based server designed to run, manage, and create CrewAI workflows, leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to communicate with Large Language Models (LLMs) and tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor IDE.

To use the server, clone the repository, install the required dependencies, and run the server with default or custom configuration files using command line arguments.

  • Automatic configuration loading from YAML files for agents and tasks. - Command line flexibility to specify custom paths for configuration files. - Seamless execution of pre-configured workflows through the MCP run_workflow tool. - Local development capability in STDIO mode for testing and development.
  1. Orchestrating multi-agent workflows for various applications.
  2. Automating tasks in a development environment.
  3. Managing complex workflows involving multiple agents and tasks.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MCP Crew AI Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

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

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-crew-ai-adam-paterson"
