Setup

Standard Configuration for Most Clients

This configuration works for most MCP clients:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "@ui5/mcp-server": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@ui5/mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Special configuration for native Windows On native Windows (not WSL), you might need to prefix npx with cmd /c:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "@ui5/mcp-server": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "cmd",
            "args": [
                "/c",
                "npx -y @ui5/mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Specific MCP Clients

Besides the general configuration outlined above, some MCP clients offer shortcuts for installing MCP servers. Below are instructions for some popular clients, but you can also refer to your specific client's documentation for more details.

VS Code

Preferred: Install from the GitHub MCP server registry

Alternatively you can use the VS Code CLI:

# Using VS Code CLI
code --add-mcp '{"name":"@ui5/mcp-server","type": "stdio","command":"npx","args":["-y", "@ui5/mcp-server"]}'
