About Model Context Protocol servers

Augment Chat and Agent can utilize external integrations through Model Context Protocol (MCP) to access external systems for information and integrate tools to take actions. MCP is an open protocol that provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. MCP servers can be used to access local or remote databases, run automated browser testing, send messages to Slack or even play music on Spotify.

Configure in the Augment Settings Panel

Easily configure MCP servers using the Augment Settings Panel. To access the settings panel, select the gear icon in the upper right of the Augment panel. Once the settings panel is open, you will see a section for MCP servers.

Fill in the name and command fields. The name field must be a unique name for the server. The command field is the command to run the server, including any arguments and environment variables.

To add additional servers, click the + button next to the MCP header. To edit a configuration or to delete a server, click the ... button next to the server name.

Server compatibility

Not all MCP servers are compatible with Augment’s models. The MCP standard, implementation of specific servers, and Augment’s MCP support are frequently being updated, so check compatibility frequently.
