MCP Servers

MCP servers give Ziva tools from other apps and services, such as reading design notes from a connected service. To use Ziva's Godot tools from another AI app instead, see Ziva as an MCP Server.

Only connect servers you trust. Their tools can read or change data with the access you give them.

Add a serverCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Settings → Models & Providers → MCP servers.
2. Click Install bundle for an .mcpb or .zip file, or Add manually and paste the configuration from the server's docs.
3. Click Test connection, then Save and connect.

A server that runs on your computer looks like this:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"]
}

A hosted server needs its URL. Ziva opens your browser to sign in when needed, or you can pass a token, using ${ENV_VAR} so it isn't saved in your project files:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${MCP_TOKEN}" }
}

Use the toolsCopy Anchor Link

Ask for a task that needs the server, for example "Use context7 to check how to add a collectible coin." Ziva asks before running a tool unless you choose Always allow. In Plan and Ask modes, only read-only tools are available.

Each server's tools add to every request, so click Disable on servers you aren't using.

• Needs sign-in: click Sign in on the server's row and finish in your browser.
• Failed: check the server's configuration against its docs, then click the refresh button on its row.
