ravitemer/mcphub.nvim

Requires the mcp-hub server (npm install -g mcp-hub); install the plugin via your Neovim package manager or lazy.nvim (source "ravitemer/mcphub.nvim").
Nix flake: add mcp-hub.url = "github:ravitemer/mcp-hub" to inputs and input.mcp-hub.packages."${system}".default to system packages.

Usage

• •Call require("mcphub").setup({ port = 3000, config = "path/to/mcp-servers.json" }) in your Neovim config.
• •Execute MCP tools, access resources, and use prompts (as slash commands) directly from chat plugins (avante.nvim, codecompanion.nvim, copilotchat.nvim).
• •Use the marketplace to discover and auto-install MCP servers, including AI-assisted installation.
• •Write Lua-native MCP servers (tools, resources, prompts) directly in Lua; use dev mode for hot-reload of servers on file changes.

Key features

• ✓Full capability support: tools, resources, resource templates, prompts, and real-time list-changed notifications.
• ✓Remote transports: streamable-http (primary), SSE (fallback), STDIO (local), with OAuth PKCE and header auth for remote servers.
• ✓Chat integration: Avante.nvim, CodeCompanion.nvim (including image responses), CopilotChat.nvim (function calling).
• ✓Workspace management: project-local configs auto-detected and merged with global config; multi-instance sync across Neovim instances; shutdown-delay for systemd service use.
• ✓VS Code mcp.json compatibility and universal ${} placeholder syntax.

Best for

Neovim users who want to manage and use MCP servers from inside the editor with AI chat plugins (Avante / CodeCompanion / CopilotChat).

Caveats

• ⚠MCP Roots and Sampling capabilities are not supported.
• ⚠Requires the mcp-hub server binary running; primarily targets Linux/macOS (Nix support built in).
