AIO-MCP Server is a powerful implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enhances AI interactions with integrations for various services including GitLab, Jira, Confluence, YouTube, and more. It provides AI-powered search capabilities and utility tools that can be used to improve development workflows and information retrieval.
The easiest way to install AIO-MCP Server for Claude Desktop is through Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @athapong/aio-mcp --client claude
Smithery will guide you through an interactive CLI setup process, prompting for required configuration values and handling the environment setup automatically.
To install using Go, you need to properly set up your Go environment variables first:
Add the following to your shell config file (.bashrc
, .zshrc
, etc.):
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
Then reload your shell configuration:
source ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GOPATH", "$env:USERPROFILE\go", "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$env:PATH;$env:USERPROFILE\go\bin", "User")
setx GOPATH "%USERPROFILE%\go"
setx PATH "%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\go\bin"
Once your environment is set up, install the server:
go install github.com/athapong/aio-mcp@latest
Create a .env
file with your configuration:
ENABLE_TOOLS=
QDRANT_HOST=
ATLASSIAN_HOST=
ATLASSIAN_EMAIL=
GITLAB_HOST=
GITLAB_TOKEN=
BRAVE_API_KEY=
ATLASSIAN_TOKEN=
GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY=
PROXY_URL=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL=
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
QDRANT_PORT=
GOOGLE_TOKEN_FILE=
GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE=
QDRANT_API_KEY=
USE_OLLAMA_DEEPSEEK=
ENABLE_SSE=
SSE_ADDR=
SSE_BASE_PATH=
Configure your Claude Desktop by adding to claude_desktop_config.json
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aio-mcp": {
"command": "aio-mcp",
"args": ["-env", "/path/to/.env", "-sse", "-sse-addr", ":8080", "-sse-base-path", "/mcp"]
}
}
}
Alternatively, you can override environment values directly:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aio-mcp": {
"command": "aio-mcp",
"env": {
"ENABLE_TOOLS": "",
"OPENAI_BASE_URL": "",
"GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY": "",
"GITLAB_TOKEN": "",
"GITLAB_HOST": "",
"QDRANT_HOST": "",
"QDRANT_API_KEY": "",
"PROXY_URL": "",
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "",
"GOOGLE_TOKEN_FILE": "",
"GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE": "",
"ATLASSIAN_TOKEN": "",
"BRAVE_API_KEY": "",
"QDRANT_PORT": "",
"ATLASSIAN_HOST": "",
"ATLASSIAN_EMAIL": "",
"USE_OPENROUTER": "",
"DEEPSEEK_API_KEY": "",
"OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "",
"DEEPSEEK_API_BASE": "",
"USE_OLLAMA_DEEPSEEK": "",
"OLLAMA_URL": ""
}
}
}
}
AIO-MCP Server supports two operation modes:
The server communicates via standard input/output, which is the default mode used by Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.
The server runs as an HTTP server that supports Server-Sent Events for real-time communication. Enable SSE mode using either:
Command-line flags:
aio-mcp -sse -sse-addr ":8080" -sse-base-path "/mcp"
Environment variables (in your .env
file):
ENABLE_SSE=true
SSE_ADDR=:8080
SSE_BASE_PATH=/mcp
When SSE mode is enabled, the server provides two endpoints:
{SSE_BASE_PATH}/sse
(default: /mcp/sse
){SSE_BASE_PATH}/message
(default: /mcp/message
)The ENABLE_TOOLS
environment variable controls which tool groups are available. It accepts a comma-separated list of tool groups to enable. Leave it empty to enable all tools.
Available tool groups:

claude mcp add-json "aio-mcp" '{"command":"aio-mcp","args":["-env","/path/to/.env","-sse","-sse-addr",":8080","-sse-base-path","/mcp"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aio-mcp": {
"command": "aio-mcp",
"args": [
"-env",
"/path/to/.env",
"-sse",
"-sse-addr",
":8080",
"-sse-base-path",
"/mcp"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aio-mcp": {
"command": "aio-mcp",
"args": [
"-env",
"/path/to/.env",
"-sse",
"-sse-addr",
":8080",
"-sse-base-path",
"/mcp"
]
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
