Here's what a typical multi-server config looks like: { "mcpServers" : { "automation" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "workflow-automation-mcp" ] }, "database-main" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "database-mcp" ] }, "database-secondary" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "database-mcp" ] }, "code-graph" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "code-graph-mcp" ] }, "docs" : { "command" : "npx" , "args" : [ "docs-mcp" ] } } } Five servers. Two database projects. One workflow automation instance running dozens of production workflows. A code graph analyzer. A documentation fetcher.
