Configure Coding Agents
Connect Coding Agents to the MCP Gateway to use only governed MCP servers.
The MCP Gateway acts as a proxy between your coding agents and the JFrog MCP Registry.
Once your IDE is configured to use the Gateway, it can only see and run MCP servers and tools that your project admin has allowed with no manual MCP discovery or ungoverned installs.
Configure your IDE to Connect to the MCP Gateway
The steps to connect your IDE to your MCP Gateway are according to the IDE:
Choose your Coding Agent
| IDE | Setup guide |
|---|---|
| Cursor | Configure Cursor |
| VS Code | Configure VS Code |
| Claude Code | Configure Claude Code |
Summary:
- Run the setup script: Using one command install the JFrog CLI and the MCP Gateway plugin, and configure your IDE. The script is generated from the MCP Registry Install MCP or Configure MCP with your project and IDE pre-filled.
- Use the Magic Link: After the script runs, a link in the terminal completes IDE configuration with one click.
- Add the Gateway manually: If auto-config did not run, you add the Gateway to your IDE’s MCP config file. The config file location and JSON shape differ according to the IDE being used.
