MCP Config Templates

Per-agent JSON snippets for configuring the LaunchDarkly hosted MCP server. All configurations use OAuth — no API keys required.

Source: https://launchdarkly.com/docs/home/getting-started/mcp-hosted

Unified Server (Recommended)

Use the unified server URL for new configurations:

Legacy URLs (deprecated):

• mcp/fm — deprecated. Migrate to the unified server.
• mcp/aiconfigs — deprecated. Migrate to the unified server.

See mcp-configure Edge Cases for migration guidance.

Cursor

Config file: .cursor/mcp.json in the project root.

Unified server (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

Legacy feature management only (deprecated)

Deprecated: mcp/fm is deprecated. Use the unified server URL above.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly feature management": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/fm",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

After adding the config: enable the server and complete OAuth in Cursor's MCP UI. Use MCP UI links — Cursor (HTTPS doc + optional command: links); do not rely only on nested Settings menu paths.

Claude Code

Config file: .mcp.json in the project root, or ~/.claude.json for global config.

Unified server (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly"
    }
  }
}

Legacy feature management only (deprecated)

Deprecated: mcp/fm is deprecated. Use the unified server URL above.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly feature management": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/fm"
    }
  }
}

Authorization happens automatically via OAuth prompt on first MCP tool call.

GitHub Copilot

Configured via the GitHub web UI, not a local config file.

1. Navigate to the target repository on GitHub
2. Go to Settings > Code and automation > Copilot > Coding agent
3. In the MCP configuration section, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

4. Click Save

Windsurf

Windsurf uses a similar MCP configuration format. Add to the agent's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly"
    }
  }
}

Consult Windsurf's documentation for the exact config file location.

Migrating from Deprecated mcp/fm

The mcp/fm URL is deprecated. Replace it with the unified server.

Remove this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly feature management": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/fm",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

Replace with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

Migrating from Deprecated mcp/aiconfigs

The mcp/aiconfigs URL is deprecated. Replace it with the unified server.

Remove this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly AI Configs": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/aiconfigs",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

Replace with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

The unified server handles both feature flags and AgentControl. If you also had mcp/fm, migrate it to the unified server — mcp/fm is deprecated and will be removed.

Note: Do not auto-migrate. Always ask the user via a blocking question before making changes (see mcp-configure Edge Cases).

Migrating from the Old Local Server

If the user has the old npx-based server configured with an inline API key, replace it with the hosted unified server:

Remove this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "--package", "@launchdarkly/mcp-server",
        "--", "mcp", "start",
        "--api-key", "api-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace with the unified hosted server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "LaunchDarkly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.launchdarkly.com/mcp/launchdarkly",
      "headers": {}
    }
  }
}

Also remove any LD_ACCESS_TOKEN or LAUNCHDARKLY_API_KEY environment variables that were used for the local server. The hosted server handles authentication via OAuth.
