Local versus hosted MCP
See Hosted MCP for the remote service.
Built-in local bridge
Aiola normally installs its project-bound bridge when workspace onboarding completes. The entry is bound to the current workspace and does not need project selection.Add a server
Select Add server, enter a name, and provide one configuration object.Enable, disable, and delete
Use the row toggle to enable or disable a server. Third-party entries have Remove server; the built-in Aiola entry cannot be deleted from its row.Discover tools
Expand an enabled row to connect and discover its tools. The expanded state reports discovery progress, available tools, an empty result, or a connection error. Disabled rows must be enabled first.Reinstall the local bridge
If no servers are configured, select Install Aiola in the empty state. If other servers exist but the built-in Aiola entry is absent, select Install Aiola MCP Server in the page header. Both actions install or reconfigure the local workspace bridge; neither installs the hosted connector.GUI Lifetime hides the Aiola bridge row and its install action on this page. Third-party workspace MCP servers remain available.
