The syntax for the `functions/mcp.json` file is compatible with MCP server configurations for Claude Desktop.
So any time you're looking to add a new server, look at the docs for it and find the configuration example for
Claude Desktop. You should be able to use the exact same configuration in your `functions/mcp.json` file.
The syntax for the `functions/mcp.json` file matches [Claude Code's `.mcp.json` configuration format](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/mcp),
with one small difference: the `type` field is **always required** in Loki, even for stdio servers (Claude Code
allows it to be omitted and infers `stdio` from the presence of a `command`). So any time you're looking to add
a new server, look at its docs and find the Claude Code configuration example. You should be able to use the
exact same configuration in your `functions/mcp.json` file. Just make sure every entry has an explicit `type`.
**Note:** Loki does not support Claude Code's `"streamable-http"` alias (use `"http"` instead), nor extras
like `oauth` or `envFile`. For secrets, use [Loki Vault](Vault) interpolation rather than Claude Code's `${VAR}`
shell-style expansion.
Every server entry **must** include a `"type"` field set to one of: `"stdio"`, `"http"`, or `"sse"`.
