{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hide-org-hide-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/hide-mcp",
        "run",
        "hide-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can run the Hide MCP server to expose the Hide headless IDE features as an MCP endpoint. This lets you interact with the editor and a persistent Bash shell from an MCP client, combining powerful editing capabilities with automation-friendly access.

How to use

You have two standard ways to start the Hide MCP server, depending on how you prefer to deploy it. In both cases you launch a local MCP server named hide-mcp and connect your MCP client to it. When running locally, you’ll see outputs from the editor and Bash tools in the same process stream, enabling live interaction and monitoring.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have the MCP runtime available on your system. You will use the MCP runtime to start the server via a stdio configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hide-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/hide-mcp",
        "run",
        "hide-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Additional notes

If you prefer a published configuration for a remote MCP server, you can use the alternative runtime command to run the same server without a local directory flag.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hide-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "hide-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
