What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Validate MCP configuration and suggest improvements. Use when MCP servers fail to load, after editing .mcp.json, or when the user runs /mcp-check.

MCP Configuration Validator
Validate the project's MCP setup for correctness and completeness.
Validation Steps
1. Check Configuration Files
| File | Scope | What lives here |
|---|---|---|
.mcp.json (project root) | Project | mcpServers — the server definitions, written by claude mcp add --scope project |
.claude/settings.json | Project | Toggles only: enableAllProjectMcpServers, enabledMcpjsonServers |
~/.claude.json | User | User-scope mcpServers, available across all projects |
The source of truth for project servers is .mcp.json at the project root. Read mcpServers from there — .claude/settings.json never holds server definitions, only approval toggles.
2. Validate Structure
-
.mcp.jsonis valid JSON (no trailing commas) -
mcpServersobject exists in.mcp.json - Project servers are approved via
.claude/settings.json: eitherenableAllProjectMcpServers: true, or each server named inenabledMcpjsonServers
3. Validate Each MCP
-
commandis valid -
argsproperly formatted -
envvariables set
4. Check Essential MCPs
| MCP | Required? |
|---|---|
| memory | Recommended |
| filesystem | Optional |
| github | If .git exists |
5. Security Check
- No hardcoded secrets
- Sensitive values use env vars
