Manage MCP

Complete skill for managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Nuxt with @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit. Setup, create tools/resources/prompts, organize with multi-handler folder convention, build interactive UI widgets (MCP Apps), wire up sessions and observability, review, and troubleshoot.

When to Use

• Setup: "Setup an MCP server in my Nuxt app", "Add MCP to Nuxt"
• Create: "Add a tool that calculates BMI", "Expose a README as a resource", "Create a code-review prompt"
• Organize: "Split my MCP into admin + public endpoints", "Filter tools per user"
• Customize: "Add authentication to my MCP", "Log every tool call to Axiom", "Stream progress to the client"
• Build apps: "Add an interactive Vue widget callable from ChatGPT/Cursor"
• Persist state: "Remember the user across tool calls in one session"
• Review: "Review my MCP implementation", "Check for best practices"
• Troubleshoot: "My tool isn't discovered", "Auto-imports don't work", "OAuth flow keeps triggering"
• Test: "Eval which tools the model picks for these prompts"

Setup MCP Server

Installation

::code-group

pnpm add @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit zod

npm install @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit zod

yarn add @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit zod

bun add @nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit zod

::

Or in one go via the Nuxt CLI:

npx nuxt add mcp

Add to nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/mcp-toolkit'],
  mcp: {
    name: 'My MCP Server',
    description: 'Read and update todos for the current user.',
  },
  nitro: {
    experimental: { asyncContext: true }, // required for useEvent / useMcpServer / useMcpLogger
  },
})
