# Supported apps and config paths

> Config file locations for each supported AI coding app

## Overview

mcpconfig looks for MCP config files under your home directory (`~`). Each app uses a specific path and format (JSON, TOML, or YAML).

* **list-clients** — Lists all known config locations (found and optionally not found with `--all`).
* **list-servers** — Reads **JSON** configs (`mcpServers`) and **Codex** `config.toml` (`mcp_servers`) and prints a combined table. Other TOML/YAML configs are not parsed for servers.
* **add-server** — Writes only to configs that **exist** and are **JSON** or **Codex TOML**. YAML configs (Goose, Continue.dev) are listed by list-clients but cannot be updated by add-server.
* **delete-server** — Removes a server by name from selected configs; only **JSON** and **Codex TOML** configs that contain that server are shown.

## Config paths

Paths are relative to your home directory (`~`).

<Note>
  **macOS:** The `Library/Application Support/...` paths are typical on macOS. On Linux or Windows, some apps may use different locations; mcpconfig uses these paths as-is from the home directory.

## Config format details

* **JSON** — Uses an `mcpServers` object. Each key is a server name; value has `command` and optional `args`.
* **Codex TOML** — Uses `[mcp_servers.<name>]` sections with `command` and optional `args`. See the [Codex config reference](https://developers.openai.com/codex/config-reference/).
* **YAML** (Goose, Continue.dev) — Listed by **list-clients** only; not parsed for **list-servers** and not writable by **add-server** or **delete-server**.
