Recommended MCP Servers
Kognar Chat supports any MCP-compatible server. Below are some of the most useful ones to get started. All of them can be added from the Power Tools panel → MCPs tab (the sliders icon below the message input).
FileSystem
Read and write files on your computer directly from the chat.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | FileSystem |
| Type | Local |
| Command | npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /path/to/allowed/folder |
Replace /path/to/allowed/folder with the directory you want Kognar to access. You can specify multiple directories by separating them with spaces.
What it enables:
- Read, write, move, and delete files
- List directory contents
- Search within files
For safety, point it to a specific project folder rather than your home directory.
Context7
Up-to-date library documentation pulled directly into your conversation. Ideal for coding tasks where you need current API references.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Context7 |
| Type | Remote |
| URL | https://mcp.context7.com/mcp |
What it enables:
- Fetch live documentation for thousands of libraries (React, Next.js, Tailwind, etc.)
- Always gets the current version — not the AI's training data snapshot
Figma
Connect Kognar to your Figma files to read design data and generate code from components.
| Field | Value |

GitHub
Interact with GitHub repositories — issues, PRs, code, and more — without leaving the chat.

Playwright
Control a real browser from the chat. Useful for testing, automation, and web scraping.

Slack
Read and send messages in your Slack workspace from the chat.

The Slack MCP requires your workspace admin to allow the integration. Check with your Slack admin if the connection fails.
Adding a server
To add any of the servers above:

- Fill in the Name, Transport, Command or URL, and any environment variables
- Click Test to verify the connection

Enable Auto-connect to have the server connect automatically every time Kognar starts.
