# Connecting Multiple MCP Servers
|
|
|
|
OpenMCP supports connecting to multiple MCP servers simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to create an agent that can automatically research topics and compile Word documents, you could:
|
|
|
|
1. Find an MCP for web searching: [crawl4ai MCP](https://github.com/LSTM-Kirigaya/openmcp-tutorial/tree/main/crawl4ai-mcp)
|
|
2. Find an MCP for Word operations: [Office-Word-MCP-Server](https://github.com/GongRzhe/Office-Word-MCP-Server)
|
|
3. Combine them in OpenMCP
|
|
4. Automate your task!
|
|
|
|
Assuming we've already connected the first MCP (crawl4ai), here's how to add additional servers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Method 1: Drag and Drop
|
|
|
|
Simply shift-click and drag the MCP server file into the OpenMCP interface to auto-fill connection parameters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::warning
|
|
Auto-filled commands may not always be accurate. As mentioned in [STDIO Connection Setup](http://localhost:5173/openmcp/plugin-tutorial/usage/connect-mcp.html#stdio-%E8%BF%9E%E6%8E%A5%E7%9A%84%E5%90%AF%E5%8A%A8), please review [Appendix: What You Must Know About UV MCP Startup](http://localhost:5173/openmcp/plugin-tutorial/quick-start/first-mcp.html#%E9%99%84%E5%BD%95-%E5%85%B3%E4%BA%8E-uv-%E5%90%AF%E5%8A%A8-mcp-%E4%BD%A0%E5%BF%85%E9%A1%BB%E7%9F%A5%E9%81%93%E7%9A%84) to verify connection methods.

## Method 2: Manual Parameter Entry
|
|
|
|
Manually enter connection parameters (self-explanatory).
|
|
|
|
## Using Multiple Servers
|
|
|
|
Using multiple servers works similarly to single-server operation - OpenMCP automatically handles tool routing and selection. The key requirement is that tool names must be unique across servers to prevent conflicts.
|
|
|
|
If you have a use case requiring duplicate tool names, please describe your scenario via [GitHub issue](https://github.com/LSTM-Kirigaya/openmcp-client/issues). We'll evaluate supporting this based on community discussion. |
