Model Context Protocol

Jeden maintains bounded persistent MCP connections and exposes server tools, resources, prompts, notifications, and health through native commands.

Configuration

User servers load from ~/.jeden/mcp.json. Project servers load from <cwd>/.jeden/mcp.json. Both use the standard mcpServers shape.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "example": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/server",
      "args": ["--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Operate servers

/mcp
/mcp list
/mcp tools
/mcp resources
/mcp prompts
/mcp notifications
/mcp test
/mcp reload
/mcp reconnect

Tool naming

Generic MCP tools can list and call every configured server. Eligible tools may also be projected into the native registry as mcp__<server>__<tool>. Names remain unique and capability health reflects the current server connection.
