Set Up MCP in Kiro

Updated: 2025-05-07

What MCP Helps With

MCP is useful when you want Kiro to work with external documentation, tools, services, or custom workflows. You do not need it for every use case, but it becomes important when the editor needs broader context or integrations.

Preparation Checklist

• Confirm your Kiro installation works before changing advanced settings.
• Identify which service or tool you want to connect.
• Collect any required tokens, URLs, or local paths ahead of time.

Suggested Setup Flow

1. Open the relevant Kiro settings or integration area.
2. Add the MCP server or integration details.
3. Save the configuration and restart Kiro if required.
4. Run a small test request to confirm the connection works.

How to Verify Success

• The configured service appears in the expected integration list.
• Kiro can read or call the target service without errors.
• Logs or status output do not show authentication or path issues.
