MCP Servers
Manage your Model Context Protocol servers and their available tools.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables AI assistants to connect to external data sources and tools. MCP provides a standardized way for AI applications to access context from various systems.
Overview
The MCP Servers page displays all servers available in your workspace. Each server provides a set of tools that your AI assistant can use.
Server List
Each server card shows:
- Server name and icon - Identifies the service (e.g., GitHub, Figma, Jira)
- Connection status - Green checkmark indicates connected
- Available tools - List of tools provided by the server (shown as tags)
- Use toggle - Enable/disable the server for your AI client
- Use button - Quick action button
Example Servers
| Server | Tools |
|---|---|
| Context7 | resolve-library-id, get-library-docs |
| Figma | get-file, get-image, get-file-versions, get-team-projects |
| GitHub | create_or_update_file, search_repositories, create_repository, push_files, create_pull_request, search_code, search_issues, merge_pull_request, get_pull_request_files |
| Jira | get-issues, list-fields, list-issue-types, list-link-types, get-user, create-issue, create-issue-link, get-create-meta-data, comment-on-issue, get-issue-changelog |
Searching Servers
Use the search bar at the top of the page to filter servers by name.
Connecting to a Server
Servers that are not yet connected show a Connect button. Click it to:
- Start the OAuth flow (if required)
- Grant permissions to the target service
- Return to Willow with the connection established
The authorization opens in a separate popup window. Some servers sign you in and return automatically; others show a consent screen to approve first. If your browser blocks the popup, allow popups for this site and click Connect again.
Once connected, the server shows a green checkmark next to its name and its button changes to Use.
Using Servers
Toggle the Use switch to enable or disable a server for your AI client. When enabled:
- The server's tools become available to your AI assistant
- You can use the tools through the MCP connection
Server Menu
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on a connected server card for additional options:
- View - Open the server's details and tools
- Disable - Turn the server off without removing your connection
- Re-authenticate - Refresh your authorization using the server's current method
- Disconnect - Remove your connection to the server
If an admin changes a server's authentication method, your existing connection keeps the old one. Re-authenticate reuses that old method, so to switch, choose Disconnect and then Connect again to authorize under the new method.
