Two transport modes are supported:
MCP servers can run locally over stdio or connect remotely over HTTP:
| Mode | Config | Example |
| Connection | Config | Example |
|------|--------|---------|
| **Stdio** | `command` + `args` | Local process via `npx` / `uvx` |
| **HTTP** | `url` + `headers` (optional) | Remote endpoint (`https://mcp.example.com/sse`) |
| **Streamable HTTP / SSE** | `url` + `headers` (optional) | Remote endpoint (`https://mcp.example.com/mcp`) |
Remote HTTP servers may use browser OAuth instead of static headers. In the
WebUI, open **Apps → MCP → Add MCP server**, choose **Custom**, select HTTP or
SSE, and choose **OAuth** under **Authentication**. Save the server, then choose
**Connect**. For manual configuration, add `auth: "oauth"` and open
**Apps → MCP** to connect. Known presets such as Xmind, Notion, and Linear add
the config automatically on first click.
```json
{
"tools": {
"mcpServers": {
"notion": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.notion.com/mcp",
"auth": "oauth"
}
}
}
}
```
nanobot opens the server's authorization page and handles the callback through
the gateway. The tools become available immediately when hot reload succeeds;
otherwise the WebUI asks for a restart. OAuth tokens and dynamic client
registration data are stored in the nanobot data directory under
`auth/mcp.json`; they are not written to `config.json`. Removing the MCP server
from Apps also removes its saved OAuth credentials. Normal gateway startup never
opens a browser or registers a new OAuth client when credentials are
missing—interactive authorization starts only after a user clicks **Connect**.
For a remotely accessed WebUI, HTTPS is recommended. Configure
`channels.websocket.publicWsUrl` with the browser-facing `wss://` endpoint so
nanobot can register the matching HTTPS callback and finish automatically. A
loopback WebUI may use HTTP. When a remote WebUI is served over plain HTTP,
nanobot instead registers a localhost callback and asks you to paste the complete
callback URL from the browser address bar after authorization.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> HTTP/SSE MCP URLs are validated before probing or connecting, and every outgoing MCP HTTP request is validated again before redirects are followed. `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, RFC1918/private IPs, CGNAT/Tailscale ranges, link-local addresses, and cloud metadata endpoints are blocked by default. This can break previously working local or private HTTP MCP configs until the endpoint is explicitly allowed with `tools.ssrfWhitelist`, preferably with a single-host CIDR such as `127.0.0.1/32`, `::1/128`, or `192.168.1.50/32`. Stdio MCP servers are not affected.

Use `toolTimeout` to override the default 30s per-call timeout for slow servers:
