Automatic Configuration Provisioning pushes managed MCP server configurations directly into client applications. Admins mark servers as auto-synced in the dashboard, and the Runlayer CLI writes them into each developer’s tools.

How It Works

  1. Admin enables auto-sync on servers in the Runlayer dashboard
  2. CLI fetches configuration for auto-synced servers accessible to the user
  3. Client detection — the CLI auto-detects installed clients
  4. Config injection — server entries are written into each client’s config file
Enabling Auto Sync on a connector

Quick Start

# Install uv (package manager for the Runlayer CLI)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Store your org API key (created in Settings → API Keys with MCP Watch Scan role)
uvx runlayer org-api-key add mcp-watch --secret rl_org_your_key_here --host https://app.runlayer.com

# Sync all auto-synced servers to your clients
uvx runlayer --org-api-key mcp-watch setup sync -y
Use --client cursor to target a specific client. Run without -y to preview changes before applying.
