## MCP Tips
While the system comes with a default echo MCP Server, your LLM can access more powerful tools through MCP. Here's how to get started with two beginner-friendly tools: Fetch and Youtube-dl.
### Quick Setup
Add this JSON configuration to your MCP-X MCP settings to enable both tools:
```json
"mcpServers":{
"fetch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-server-fetch",
"--ignore-robots-txt"
],
"enabled": true
},
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
"/path/to/allowed/files"
],
"enabled": true
},
"youtubedl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@kevinwatt/yt-dlp-mcp"
],
"enabled": true
}
}
```
### Using SSE Server for MCP
You can also connect to an external MCP server via SSE (Server-Sent Events). Add this configuration to your MCP-X MCP settings:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"MCP_SERVER_NAME": {
"enabled": true,
"transport": "sse",
"url": "YOUR_SSE_SERVER_URL"
}
}
}
```
### Additional Setup for yt-dlp-mcp
yt-dlp-mcp requires the yt-dlp package. Install it based on your operating system:
#### Windows
```bash
winget install yt-dlp
```
#### MacOS
```bash
brew install yt-dlp
```
#### Linux
```bash
pip install yt-dlp
```
