  "mcpServers": {
    "ping": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@c3budiman/ping"]
    }
  }
}

Using globally installed package (binary):

npm install -g @c3budiman/ping

Then configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ping": {
      "command": "mcp-ping"
    }
  }
}

Using local installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ping": {
