MCP Setup Options

Dive offers two ways to access MCP tools: OAP Cloud Services (recommended for beginners) and Local MCP Servers (for advanced users).

Option 1: Local MCP Servers 🛠️

For advanced users who prefer local control. The system comes with a default echo MCP Server, and you can add more powerful tools like Fetch and Youtube-dl.

Option 2: OAP Cloud Services ☁️

The easiest way to get started! Access enterprise-grade MCP tools instantly:

1. Sign up at OAPHub.ai
2. Connect to Dive using one-click deep links or configuration files
3. Enjoy managed MCP servers with zero setup - no Python, Docker, or complex dependencies required

Benefits:

• ✅ Zero configuration needed
• ✅ Cross-platform compatibility
• ✅ Enterprise-grade reliability
• ✅ Automatic updates and maintenance

Quick Local Setup

Add this JSON configuration to your Dive MCP settings to enable local tools:

 "mcpServers":{
    "fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-fetch",
        "--ignore-robots-txt"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    },
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/path/to/allowed/files"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    },
    "youtubedl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@kevinwatt/yt-dlp-mcp"
      ],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }

Using Streamable HTTP for Cloud MCP Services

You can connect to external cloud MCP servers via Streamable HTTP transport. Here's the Dive configuration example for SearXNG service from OAPHub:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "SearXNG_MCP_Server": {
      "transport": "streamable",
      "url": "https://proxy.oaphub.ai/v1/mcp/181672830075666436",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "GLOBAL_CLIENT_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reference: @https://oaphub.ai/mcp/181672830075666436

Using SSE Server (Non-Local MCP)

You can also connect to external MCP servers (not local ones) via SSE (Server-Sent Events). Add this configuration to your Dive MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "MCP_SERVER_NAME": {
      "enabled": true,
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "YOUR_SSE_SERVER_URL"
    }
  }
}

Additional Setup for yt-dlp-mcp

yt-dlp-mcp requires the yt-dlp package. Install it based on your operating system:

Windows

winget install yt-dlp

MacOS

brew install yt-dlp

Linux

pip install yt-dlp
