# Create Mcp Server

`POST /v1/mcp-servers/`

## Request body

- MCPServerCreate — Payload for creating an MCP server spec (catalog template). Either ``docker_image_url`` (for container-based servers) or ``remote_url`` (for HTTP-based servers like GitHub Copilot) should be supplied. ``env_schema`` describes the variables an instance built from this spec needs to provide; secret entries (``isSecret: true``) are routed through the secret manager rather than stored in plaintext.
  - `cmd` string[], nullable — Custom command override for container CMD (e.g. switching between stdio and HTTP modes).
  - `description` string, required — Short summary of what this MCP server provides.
  - `docker_image_url` string, nullable — Docker image URL for container-based MCP servers.
  - `env_schema` object[], nullable — Environment-variable schema entries (KeyValueInput from the MCP registry). Each item has at least 'name' and 'description'; mark secrets with 'isSecret: true'.
  - `is_public` boolean — If true, the spec is visible across workspaces.
  - `json_spec` object, nullable — Raw ServerJSON spec as published by the MCP registry.
  - `name` string, required — Human-readable MCP server name (unique per workspace).
  - `registry_url` string, nullable — Source registry URL the spec was imported from.
  - `remote_url` string, nullable — Remote endpoint URL for HTTP-based MCP servers.
  - `tags` string[] — Tags used for search and categorization.
  - `version` string — Semantic version of the MCP server spec.
