gcontext-mcp

The local MCP connector for gcontext. Runs on your machine as a stdio MCP server, bridging your AI agent to your gcontext workspace in the cloud.

• Structure (files, folders, types, secret names) lives in the cloud

• Secret values and script execution stay local, on your machine

Install

Add to Claude Code:

claude mcp add-json gcontext-personal '{"type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["gcontext-mcp"],"env":{"GCONTEXT_TOKEN":"<your token>"}}'

Or run directly:

uvx gcontext-mcp

Related MCP server: Agentic MCP Server

Environment variables

Self-hosting

If you self-host the gcontext backend, point GCONTEXT_API_URL to your instance:

{"type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["gcontext-mcp"],"env":{"GCONTEXT_TOKEN":"<token>","GCONTEXT_API_URL":"http://localhost:5179"}}

See self-hosting docs for backend setup.

What this connector does

The connector exposes MCP tools for reading, writing, searching, and managing files in your gcontext workspace. Secret values are stored locally (in ~/.gcontext/.env) and injected at script runtime without ever leaving your machine.
