Architecture | Project Structure | Startup Process | Server Features | Extension Points | How It Works
This MCP server attempts to exercise all the features of the MCP protocol. It is not intended to be a useful server, but rather a test server for builders of MCP clients. It implements prompts, tools, resources, sampling, and more to showcase MCP capabilities.
A complete list of the registered MCP primitives and other protocol features demonstrated can be found in the Server Features document.
For quick installation, click the button below:
- From the Kiro panel, select the MCP Servers tab, or open the file
.kiro/settings/mcp.jsonin your project. - Add the following configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
]
}
}
}For more details, see the Kiro MCP documentation for IDE or CLI.
Usage with Claude Desktop (uses stdio Transport)
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
]
}
}
}On Windows, use cmd /c to launch npx:
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
]
}
}
}For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below...
For manual installation, you can configure the MCP server using one of these methods:
Method 1: User Configuration (Recommended)
Add the configuration to your user-level MCP configuration file. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and run MCP: Open User Configuration. This will open your user mcp.json file where you can add the server configuration.
Method 2: Workspace Configuration
Alternatively, you can add the configuration to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
For more details about MCP configuration in VS Code, see the official VS Code MCP documentation.
{
"servers": {
"everything": {

}On Windows, use:
{
"servers": {
"everything": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
