MCP servers
MCP servers expand what AIDEN can connect to and work with — databases, external services, team tools. You do not need to care about the underlying protocol to get value from them; AIDEN manages the whole lifecycle in the product.
The MCP Server Manager
AIDEN ships with a manager for MCP servers that lets you:
- browse a curated registry — including servers for Filesystem, GitHub, PostgreSQL, Slack, and more
- install in one click — no manual config files to hand-edit
- configure each server’s settings from the UI
- monitor health — see at a glance whether a server is running and responsive
- read real-time logs when something needs debugging
- export and import configuration — share a working setup across machines or with teammates
What this gives your agents
Each MCP server adds capabilities agents can use during real work:
- a GitHub server lets agents work with issues and pull requests
- a PostgreSQL server lets agents inspect schemas and query data safely
- a Slack server lets agents post updates where your team already is
- a Filesystem server extends structured access to files beyond the project
As your workflow grows, this is how AIDEN becomes a deeper operating environment instead of a chat window next to your real tools.
Best practice
Install servers for connections you actually use, and check the health view if an agent suddenly loses a capability. Like agents and skills: fewer, well-configured servers beat a long list of half-working ones.
