Locate your configuration file:
-
Add server configuration:
Configure MCP servers in VS Code/Cursor settings.json:
```json
{
"amp.mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--headless", "--isolated"]
},
"semgrep": {
"url": "https://mcp.semgrep.ai/mcp"
},
"sourcegraph": {
"url": "${SRC_ENDPOINT}/.api/mcp/v1",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "token ${SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
}
},
"linear": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/sse"]
}
}
}
Or add servers via CLI:
# Add HTTP-based server
amp mcp add sourcegraph --header "Authorization=token your-token" https://sourcegraph.example.com/.api/mcp/v1
# Add SSE-based server
amp mcp add linear https://mcp.linear.app/sse
# OAuth login for authenticated servers
amp mcp oauth login my-server \
--server-url https://example.com/.api/mcp/v1 \
--client-id your-client-id \
--client-secret your-client-secret \
--scopes "openid,profile,email"
3. **Restart Amp**
Completely quit and restart Amp to load the new configuration.

## Testing Your Setup
1. Launch Amp
2. Verify 1Panel is available in the tools list
3. Test basic 1Panel functionality
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Authentication Failed
**Symptoms:** Access denied errors, Invalid token messages, Connection refused
**Cause:** Invalid or missing PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN
**Solution:**
- Verify PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN is set correctly
- Check token validity in 1Panel admin interface
- Ensure token has sufficient permissions
#### Connection to 1Panel Failed
**Symptoms:** Connection timeout, Server unreachable, Network errors
**Cause:** Invalid PANEL_HOST or 1Panel server not running
**Solution:**
- Verify PANEL_HOST URL is correct
- Check 1Panel server is running on specified port
- Test network connectivity to 1Panel server
- Ensure firewall allows connections
#### SSE Mode Not Working
**Symptoms:** SSE endpoint not responding, Transport errors
**Cause:** Incorrect SSE configuration or port conflicts
**Solution:**
- Verify -addr parameter is accessible
- Check port is not in use by another service
- Ensure SSE transport is specified correctly
- Test SSE endpoint with curl
#### Binary Not Found
**Symptoms:** Command not found, mcp-1panel: command not found
**Cause:** Binary not in PATH or not properly installed
**Solution:**
- Verify binary is in /usr/local/bin or system PATH
- Check file permissions (executable bit)
- Re-download and reinstall binary
- Use full path to binary if needed
#### MCP Server Not Connecting
**Symptoms:** Server not appearing in tools, Connection timeout, Authentication errors
**Cause:** Invalid configuration, missing credentials, or network issues
**Solution:**
- Verify server URL and command are correct
- Check environment variables are set properly
- For OAuth servers, run amp mcp oauth login
- Review amp logs for error messages
#### Tool Execution Fails
**Symptoms:** MCP tools available but not working, Error messages during execution
**Cause:** Server dependencies missing or permission issues
**Solution:**
- Verify required environment variables are configured
- Check amp.permissions settings for tool restrictions
- Test MCP server independently
- Review server-specific documentation
#### Permission Denied
**Symptoms:** Tool blocked by permission system, Ask prompts for every action
**Cause:** Permission rules restricting MCP tool usage
**Solution:**
- Review amp.permissions in settings.json
- Add allow rules for trusted MCP servers
- Use amp permissions edit to modify rules
#### 1Panel not appearing in Amp
**Symptoms:** Server not listed, Tools not available
**Cause:** Configuration or installation issue
**Solution:**
- Verify configuration syntax
