MCP servers in Google Antigravity

An MCP server gives the Antigravity agent new tools: read your files, query a database, call an API. You add it in one JSON file. Below: where that file is, the two formats, how to check it worked, and 8 servers we have read the code of.

Add an MCP server in 3 steps

  1. 1. Open the config file

    • All projects: ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json (shared by Antigravity 2.0, the IDE and the CLI)
    • One project: .agents/mcp_config.json
    • IDE: … menu in the agent panel → MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config

  2. 2. Paste the server under "mcpServers"

    Local server (runs on your computer)

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/path/to/your/project"]
    }
  }
}

    Remote server (a URL)

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

    Remote servers need serverUrl. A README written for Cursor or Claude often says url; in Antigravity that loads no tools and shows no error.

  3. 3. Check that it loaded

    Antigravity 2.0: Settings (bottom left) → Customizations → Installed MCP Servers → Refresh. If the server needs a login, click Authenticate. CLI: type /mcp.

FAQ

Where is the Antigravity MCP config file?

~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json for all projects; Google's codelab says Antigravity 2.0, the IDE and the CLI share this one file. For one project only: .agents/mcp_config.json in the project root.

Why does my remote MCP server not show any tools?

Antigravity expects the key serverUrl for remote (HTTP) servers. Many READMEs write url or httpUrl for Cursor or Claude; Appwrite's Antigravity guide says those make tool registration fail silently. Rename the key to serverUrl and refresh.

How do I check that a server loaded?

Antigravity 2.0: Settings (bottom left) → Customizations → Installed MCP Servers → Refresh. The server should be listed; servers that need a login show Authenticate. Antigravity CLI: type /mcp.

Are MCP servers the same as skills?

No. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md that teaches the agent how to do a task and goes in .agents/skills/. An MCP server is a program (local or hosted) that gives the agent new tools, such as reading files or calling an API, and goes in mcp_config.json. Some tools ship both.
