How to Set Up and Use MCP Copilot
MCP Copilot is a meta MCP server that acts as an intelligent router, allowing a single LLM to work with more than 1,000 MCP servers simultaneously without exposing all of their tools at once. Instead of overwhelming the model with thousands of tool definitions, MCP Copilot receives a user query and routes it to the most relevant servers and tools using semantic matching, then executes the selected tool on your behalf. This makes it practical to manage large collections of MCP servers while keeping per-request token costs low.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or later installed
- uv package manager installed (recommended) or pip
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
- A configuration file listing the MCP servers you want to route across
Install mcp-server-copilot with uv
Install the package using uv for isolated dependency management, or use pip if you prefer a system-wide install.
uv pip install mcp-server-copilot
# OR using pip:
pip install mcp-server-copilotCreate the configuration directory and config file
Copy the sample configuration provided in the repository to the default config location at ~/.config/mcp-server-copilot. The config file lists all the downstream MCP servers you want to route across.
mkdir -p ~/.config/mcp-server-copilot
# Copy and edit the sample config from the repository
cp config.sample.json ~/.config/mcp-server-copilot/config.jsonEdit the config file to list your MCP servers
Open the config file and add entries for each MCP server you want to make available. MCP Copilot will discover their tools at startup and build an index for semantic routing.
Add MCP Copilot to your Claude Desktop configuration
Register the meta-server with your MCP client, pointing it to your configuration file using the --config flag.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-copilot": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-copilot", "--config", "~/.config/mcp-server-copilot/config.json"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and verify routing
Restart your MCP client. MCP Copilot will expose three tools — router-servers, route-tools, and execute-tool — that Claude uses to intelligently select and run tools from your full server catalog.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that leverage MCP Copilot's routing across many servers.
- "Find the best MCP servers for working with GitHub repositories and list what they can do."
- "Route my query about database operations to the most relevant tools and show me what's available."
- "Search for tools related to sending emails and then send a test message using the best match."
- "Which of my registered MCP servers can help me with file system operations?"
- "Execute the 'list_files' tool from the filesystem server with path '/home/user/projects'."Troubleshooting MCP Copilot
'uvx mcp-server-copilot' fails with package not found
Try installing directly with pip: 'pip install mcp-server-copilot' and then use 'python -m mcp_server_copilot' as the command in your MCP config instead of uvx.
MCP Copilot does not route to the expected server
The routing uses semantic similarity, so vague queries may not match the right server. Try including specific keywords that match the server or tool names in your config. Increase the top_k parameter in the router-servers call to see more candidates.
Config file is not found at startup
Ensure the --config path points to an existing file and that the path is absolute (expand ~ manually if needed). Verify the file is valid JSON by running 'python -m json.tool ~/.config/mcp-server-copilot/config.json'.
