How to Set Up and Use MCP X
MCP-X is a desktop MCP client application that lets users configure multiple large language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API) and connect them to a wide variety of MCP servers through a unified graphical interface. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it bundles common tools like filesystem access and web fetch out of the box, supports knowledge base document uploads, and provides domain-specific AI agent presets. It is especially useful for developers who want a single app to manage many MCP server connections across different AI providers without hand-editing JSON config files.
Prerequisites
- Windows, macOS, or Linux desktop environment
- Node.js and Python installed (bundled on Windows; must be installed separately on macOS/Linux)
- npx and uvx available in PATH (for running MCP server tools)
- API keys for at least one LLM provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or a local Ollama instance
Download MCP-X for your platform
Go to the MCP-X GitHub releases page and download the appropriate installer: .exe for Windows, .dmg for macOS, or .AppImage for Linux.
Install and launch the application
On Windows, run the .exe installer. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag to Applications. On Linux, make the .AppImage executable and run it. Ubuntu/Debian users may need the --no-sandbox flag if the app doesn't open.
# Linux only:
chmod +x MCP-X.AppImage
./MCP-X.AppImage --no-sandboxInstall Node.js and Python dependencies (macOS/Linux)
On macOS and Linux, install Node.js (for npx) and Python (for uvx) if not already present. These are required for running MCP server tools.
# macOS:
brew install node python
npm install -g npx
pip install uvConfigure your LLM API keys in the app
Open MCP-X settings and enter your API key(s) for the AI providers you want to use. MCP-X supports multiple keys and lets you switch models mid-session.
Add MCP servers via the JSON settings panel
In MCP-X settings, navigate to the MCP Servers section and add servers using the standard JSON format. The app comes pre-configured with fetch and filesystem servers.

"mcpServers": {
"fetch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-fetch"],
"enabled": true
},
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",

"enabled": true
}

Example tasks you can accomplish using MCP-X with its built-in and custom MCP servers.
- "Read the file /Users/me/report.md and summarize the key findings."
- "Fetch the content of https://example.com and tell me what services they offer."
- "Switch to Claude and answer the same question I just asked GPT-4."
- "Upload my notes.txt to the knowledge base and then answer questions about it."
- "Use the YouTube tool to get the transcript of this video and summarize it."Troubleshooting MCP X
MCP-X won't launch on Linux
Run the AppImage with the `--no-sandbox` flag: `./MCP-X.AppImage --no-sandbox`. This is a common requirement on Ubuntu and Debian systems where the default sandbox mode is restricted.
MCP server tools fail with 'npx not found' or 'uvx not found'
Install Node.js and Python/uv on your system and ensure npx and uvx are in your PATH. On macOS use `brew install node` and `pip install uv`. Restart MCP-X after installing to pick up the updated PATH.
External SSE-based MCP server not connecting
In the MCP servers configuration, add the server using a URL instead of a command. SSE servers require a URL field pointing to your SSE endpoint (e.g., `http://localhost:8080/sse`). Make sure the remote server is running and accessible.
