}
}
}Roo Code (VS Code Extension)
Roo Code supports both global and project-level MCP configuration.
Global Configuration

- 2.Click settings icon → Edit Global MCP
- 3.Add the Nexlayer configuration
Project-Level Configuration
Create .roo/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nexlayer-mcp": {
"transport": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
}
}
}Continue.dev
Continue.dev supports MCP servers through its configuration file.
Config file location:
~/.continue/config.yamlmcpServers:
nexlayer-mcp:
transport: sse
url: https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcpAlternatively, create .continue/mcpServers/nexlayer.yaml for per-server configuration.
OpenAI Codex
OpenAI Codex uses TOML configuration for MCP servers.
Config file location:
~/.codex/config.toml[mcp_servers.nexlayer-mcp]
url = "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"You can also use the CLI: codex mcp add nexlayer-mcp --url https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp
Warp Terminal
Warp manages MCP configuration through its UI.
- 1.Open Warp
- 2.Go to Warp Drive → MCP Servers → + Add
- 3.Paste the JSON configuration
Generic MCP Configuration
For any tool that supports MCP, use this configuration:
{
"nexlayer-mcp": {
"transport": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
}
}After configuration:
- • Restart your editor/tool to load the MCP server
- • You'll be prompted to authenticate on first use
- • The MCP server will connect to your Nexlayer account
