AIX MCP Server
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@AIX MCP Serverwhat's the current time?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
AIX MCP Server
An extensible Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with a plugin system, proxy forwarding, Web Dashboard, and a built-in service registry.
Features
Dual Transport — stdio (for Cursor / Claude Desktop) and Streamable HTTP
Plugin System — 7 built-in utility plugins; extend via npm packages, local paths, or JSON files
Proxy Forwarding — Aggregate multiple remote MCP servers into a single endpoint
Web Dashboard — Manage plugins, proxies, and logs through a visual interface
Service Registry — Pre-loaded catalog of popular MCP services with one-click install and config copy
LLM-Powered Search — AI-driven discovery and recommendations for MCP services
Docker Ready — Multi-stage build, works out of the box

Quick Start
Local
npm install
npm run build
# stdio mode (for MCP clients)
npm start
# HTTP mode (starts web server + dashboard)
node dist/index.js httpDocker
# Build and start (detached)
docker compose up --build -d
# View logs
docker compose logs -f
# Stop
docker compose downThe service listens on http://localhost:3080 by default.

MCP Client Configuration
Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aix-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/aix-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Or use HTTP mode (start the server first):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aix-mcp-server": {
"url": "http://localhost:3080/mcp"
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aix-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/aix-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Plugin Development
Create a TypeScript file that default-exports an object conforming to the McpPlugin interface:
import { z } from "zod";
import type { McpPlugin } from "aix-mcp-server/plugin";
const plugin: McpPlugin = {
name: "my-plugin",
description: "My custom plugin",
register(server) {
server.registerTool("my-tool", {
title: "My Tool",
description: "Does something useful",
inputSchema: z.object({
input: z.string().describe("Input value"),
}),
}, async ({ input }) => {
return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Result: ${input}` }] };
});
},
};
export default plugin;See examples/mcp-plugin-example/ for a complete example.
JSON Plugins
You can also create lightweight local MCP plugins using only JSON, similar to sharing a userscript. JSON plugins are declarative and do not execute arbitrary JavaScript. They currently support template/json tool responses and static resources.
Create plugins/my-json-plugin.json:
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"name": "my-json-plugin",
"description": "A declarative JSON MCP plugin",
"tools": [
{
"name": "hello",
"title": "Hello",
"description": "Return a greeting",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["name"],
"properties": {
"name": { "type": "string", "description": "Name to greet" }
}
},
"response": {
"type": "template",
"text": "Hello {{name}}!"
}
}
]
}Then add it to mcp-plugins.json:
{
"source": "./plugins/my-json-plugin.json",
"enabled": true
}Installing Plugins
# Via CLI
node dist/cli.js add ./path/to/plugin
node dist/cli.js add some-npm-package
# Or edit mcp-plugins.json directlyProxy Configuration
Edit mcp-proxy.json to add remote MCP servers:
{
"targets": [
{
"name": "remote-server",
"url": "http://other-mcp:3000/mcp",
"enabled": true,
"description": "Remote MCP server"
}
]
}Quality Checks
npm test
npm run registry:validateregistry:validate checks mcp-registry.json and configured JSON plugins before you open a pull request.
Architecture
See Architecture Notes and Registry Schema for contributor-facing design details.
See Cursor Integration Guide to configure this server for one project or all Cursor workspaces.
See Technical Roadmap for the planned v1.1, v1.2, and v2.0 evolution.
Troubleshooting
http://localhost:3080/mcpreturnsMissing or invalid session ID: this is expected when opening the MCP endpoint directly in a browser. Use the Dashboard athttp://localhost:3080, or connect through an MCP client.Dashboard changes do not appear: rebuild and restart the server or container after changing TypeScript, plugins, or config files.
JSON plugin fails to load: run
npm run registry:validateto get an exact field path for the invalid JSON.Sandbox upgrade fails: inspect the failed check and its
Fixmessage in the Dashboard, then rerun sandbox validation.
