How to Set Up and Use MCP Server.exe
MCP Server.exe is a flexible executable MCP host that can load and run multiple MCP services simultaneously, chain tools together in automated sequences, and extend its capabilities through a JavaScript plugin system. It supports both SSE and stdio transport modes, integrates browser automation tools, enables cron-scheduled tool invocations with desktop or push notifications, and can connect to WebSocket-based AI backends like Xiaozhi. Developers who need to run several MCP servers under a single process, build complex tool-chain automations, or bridge Claude with WebSocket AI services use this server as an orchestration layer.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ with npm installed
- Git to clone the repository
- A modern browser if using browser automation tools
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any SSE-capable MCP client
Clone the repository
Download the mcp_server_exe source code from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/shadowcz007/mcp_server_exe.git
cd mcp_server_exeInstall dependencies
Install Node.js dependencies with npm.
npm installCreate an MCP config file
Copy or create a config file that lists the MCP services you want the server to manage. The repository provides example configs in the examples/ directory.
cp examples/mcp.json ./my-mcp-config.json
# Edit my-mcp-config.json to list your desired MCP servicesStart the server
Launch the server with your config file. By default it listens on port 3000 for SSE connections.
npx mcp_exe --mcp-config ./my-mcp-config.jsonAdd to your MCP client configuration
Point your MCP client to the running SSE endpoint. For clients that support remote SSE servers, use the server URL. For stdio-based clients, use the npx launch command.

"mcp-server-exe": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp_exe", "--mcp-config", "/absolute/path/to/my-mcp-config.json"]
}
}
}Optionally add custom JavaScript tools
Use the --mcp-js flag to load a custom tool definition file written in JavaScript, which the server dynamically registers as additional MCP tools.

Sample requests that exercise tool chaining, browser automation, and multi-service capabilities.
- "Navigate to https://example.com in the browser and take a screenshot."
- "Execute this JavaScript in the current browser tab: document.title"
- "Run tools A, B, and C in sequence, passing the output of each to the next."
- "List all MCP services currently loaded by the server."
- "Schedule a tool invocation for every day at 9am and send me a desktop notification when it completes."Troubleshooting MCP Server.exe
Port 3000 is already in use when starting the server
Specify a different port using the --port flag: 'npx mcp_exe --mcp-config ./my-mcp-config.json --port 3001'. Update any client URLs to use the new port.
Custom JavaScript tools fail to load with syntax errors
Ensure your custom tool file (--mcp-js) uses valid CommonJS or ES module syntax compatible with your Node.js version. Test the file in isolation with 'node your-custom-config.js' before passing it to the server.
Browser automation tools (browser_navigate, browser_execute_javascript) return 'browser not initialized' errors
Browser tools require a Chromium-compatible browser to be installed. Ensure Playwright or Puppeteer dependencies are installed by running 'npm install' in the project directory, and that a supported browser binary is available on your system PATH.
