CLI coding agents and terminals often store MCP servers in a config file (JSON, TOML, or YAML depending on the tool).
Get your configuration
Use the dashboard MCP CONNECT modal — pick your CLI tool and copy or download the configuration shaped for that app.
Common patterns
- JSON — project `.mcp.json`, `~/.gemini/settings.json`, or tool-specific paths
- TOML — e.g. `~/.codex/config.toml`
- YAML — e.g. Goose `~/.config/goose/config.yaml`
OAuth
Prefer URL-only entries. Run the tool's documented `mcp add` command if available, or merge the downloaded block into the config file, then restart the CLI session.
Sign in via browser when the tool first connects to chamelAIn.
