Use MCP servers in Command Code with Toolport
Toolport is a free, open source local MCP gateway. Add your servers to Toolport once, flip the Command Code toggle, and Command Code gets all of them through a single gateway entry. Toolport picks a full tool list or search for each client, and you can change it in Clients.
Setup
- Download Toolport for Windows, macOS or Linux, and add your MCP servers to it (or import the ones your other AI agents already have; secrets go to your OS keychain).
- Open the Clients tab and toggle Command Code on. Toolport writes its gateway entry into Command Code's config, next to anything already there.
- Restart or reload Command Code. Your full server set is available through Toolport, and any server you add later shows up without touching Command Code again.
Where Command Code keeps its MCP config
Command Code MCP config
All platforms ~/.commandcode/mcp.json
JSON with a top-level mcpServers object.
Good to know
- Command Code also merges a project .mcp.json and a per-project local file. Toolport manages the user config so the gateway is there in every project.
Why a gateway instead of Command Code's own server list?
- One setup, every agent. The same servers work in Command Code and every other AI agent on your machine; add a server once and they all get it.
- Secrets in the OS keychain. API keys are injected at runtime and never sit in Command Code's config file.
- Watched by default. Rug-pull and tool-poisoning detection on every tool, plus per-tool governance and a destructive-tool kill switch. How the security works.
Free on this machine. Pro puts it on every machine. Team gives it to everyone.
