    "amurata-mcpserver": {
      "command": "/Users/username/.volta/bin/npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"

  }
}

You can run MCP servers locally to host modular, protocol-driven services that you can query and manage from an MCP client. This setup lets you start a dedicated server process and connect to it through a standardized interface, enabling fast testing and development of model context protocol integrations.

How to use

You will connect to the MCP server from your MCP client and issue repository- or service-related queries through the configured endpoint. When the server is running, you can explore available MCP endpoints, submit requests, and receive structured responses that integrate with your tooling. Use this workflow to test server-based actions and ensure your client can interact with MCP services as expected.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are Node tooling and a method to run Node-based commands. A convenient setup shown here uses Volta to pin the correct Node and npx for executing MCP server packages.

Ensure Volta is installed on your system. Volta manages your Node.js and npm/npx versions for consistent behavior.
Create your MCP configuration file at the location where your MCP client expects settings. You will place the MCP server entry inside the JSON under mcpServers.
Use the following configuration snippet as a starting point. Replace token placeholders with your actual token and adjust the user path if needed.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/github": {
      "command": "/Users/username/.volta/bin/npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Additional steps

After you configure the MCP server, start the server by invoking the stdio command shown in your config. In this example, you run npx through Volta to start the GitHub MCP server.
Verify the server is responding by performing a basic query from your MCP client and confirming that responses are returned without errors.

Additional sections

Configuration notes: You can place the MCP settings in the indicated local storage path for your client so that your MCP startup process can locate and load the server configuration automatically.

Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues with direct node commands or with Volta-based startup, prefer using the full Volta-npx path as shown to ensure the correct runtime is used. For example, using "/Users/username/.volta/bin/npx" with the appropriate arguments resolves common ENOENT or timeout errors.
