Install the MCP Server

Last modified by gabrielc on 2026/10/21 10:53

Steps

Add the MCP server to the farm. It is not pulled in by any other extension of the LLM Application, so it is always an explicit install (see MCP Server for what it then exposes).

  1. Open the wiki's administration and go to "Extensions".
  2. Search for MCP and find "MCP Server (BETA)" among the results.

    The Extensions administration with MCP typed in the search field, highlighted, and the two MCP Server entries listed below it

  3. Install it and confirm the dependencies the installer lists. The extension installs on the whole farm and cannot be installed on a single wiki.
  4. Check that the entry now reports the installed version.

FAQ

What do I configure once it is installed?

Everything the endpoint exposes, in each wiki's administration under "Other > MCP Server". Start with Configure the MCP Server.

Do I have to install it on every wiki of a farm?

No. The extension installs on the whole farm and cannot be installed on a single wiki. Every wiki, including one created later, then has its own "MCP Server" administration section and its own settings.

Is the endpoint available right after installation?

Yes. Every wiki's endpoint is enabled by default. It refuses unauthenticated callers with HTTP 401 until you set up authentication, unless the wiki allows guest access.

Is the LLM Application required?

Not for the MCP server itself. The two semantic search tools come from the LLM Application's indexing module and appear only where it is installed.
