FAQ
What is an MCP config generator?
An MCP config generator creates the JSON or YAML configuration file your AI coding editor needs to connect to MCP servers. Instead of writing configs manually, you select your servers and editor, and get a ready-to-paste config file.
Which AI editors are supported?
StackMCP generates configs for 6 editors: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and Continue. Each editor uses a different config format and file location — the generator handles all differences automatically.
Is the config generator free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no login, no limits. Generate as many configs as you need for any combination of servers and editors.
What if my editor is not listed?
Most MCP-compatible editors use either the Claude Code JSON format or the VS Code format. Try generating a config for the closest match. If your editor supports MCP but uses a different format, open an issue on GitHub.
