Description
Issue
In the vMCP quickstart tutorial (docs/toolhive/tutorials/quickstart-vmcp.mdx:205-218), users are instructed to manually edit their mcp.json file:
{
"servers": {
"demo-vmcp": {
"url": "http://localhost:4483/mcp",
"type": "http"
}
}
}This approach:
- Requires users to know the exact file location for their OS
- Requires manual JSON editing with potential for syntax errors
- Bypasses the ToolHive CLI and UI which provide better user experiences
Proposed solution
Update the quickstart to provide multiple connection options:
Option 1: ToolHive CLI
toolhive connect demo-vmcp http://localhost:4483/mcpOption 2: ToolHive UI
Use the ToolHive UI to add the connection (provide brief instructions)
Option 3: Manual configuration
Keep the current manual editing instructions as a fallback
This provides:
- Better user experience for most users
- Automatic configuration file management
- Better error messages and validation
- Consistency with other ToolHive documentation
- Still supports manual configuration for advanced users
