Overview

MCP-dump is a collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementations created for experimental and learning purposes, aimed at exploring different approaches to building MCP servers and understanding the protocol's capabilities and limitations.

To use any of the MCP servers in this repository, navigate to the specific server directory (e.g., mcp-hello/), follow the instructions in that directory's README, install any required dependencies, and run the server according to its documentation.

Use these steps to connect MCP-dump 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-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-dump-jayanth-mkv"
      ]
    }
  }
}

FAQ
