Installation
First, install the Civo MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"civo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["civo-mcp"],
"env": {
"CIVO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Install in VS Code
You can install the Civo MCP server using the VS Code CLI:
# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"civo","command":"npx","args":["civo-mcp"],"env":{"CIVO_API_KEY":"YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"}}'
After installation, the Civo MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.
Install in Ampcode
Follow Amp MCP documentation. Use following configuration:
"amp.mcpServers": {
"civo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["civo-mcp"],
"env": {

}
}
}
Install in Claude Code
Use the Claude Code CLI to add the Civo MCP server:
claude mcp add civo npx civo-mcp
Then set your API key as an environment variable:
export CIVO_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
Install in Gemini CLI

}
}
}
}
Install in Cursor
Go to Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP Server. Name to your liking, use command type with the command npx civo-mcp. You can also verify config or add command like arguments via clicking Edit.
{
"mcpServers": {
