Use MCP servers in Warp with Toolport
Toolport is a free, open source local MCP gateway. Add your servers to Toolport once, flip the Warp toggle, and Warp 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 Warp on. Toolport writes its gateway entry into Warp's config, next to anything already there.
- Restart or reload Warp. Your full server set is available through Toolport, and any server you add later shows up without touching Warp again.

All platforms ~/.warp/.mcp.json
JSON with a top-level mcpServers object.
Good to know
- Servers you add in Warp's own UI live in Warp's internal database, which Toolport never touches. Toolport uses Warp's file-based config, and Warp reads both side by side.
Why a gateway instead of Warp's own server list?
- One setup, every agent. The same servers work in Warp 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 Warp'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.
