MCP
Plug in an MCP server.
MCP servers expose tools — GitHub, browsers, databases, anything — that Centaurus can call from the chat. This tour walks through listing what you already have and adding a new server from a JSON config.

Where configs live
User-scope servers are saved in ~/.centaurus/mcp.json and project-scope servers in .centaurus/mcp.json. You can also drop a file at either path directly — Centaurus picks up changes on the next session.
Enabled vs disabled
Disabled servers stay in your config but don't spawn — handy for keeping rarely-used integrations around without paying their startup cost. Toggle with /mcp enable and /mcp disable.
Servers that need OAuth?
Use the mcp_auth tool after adding the server — it runs a PKCE flow and stores the token encrypted.
