mimo-tui

Preset MCP server list

These 5 are popular, stable, and 100% compatible with mimo-tui. Copy-paste configs.

1. filesystem

Lets the agent read/write files outside your workspace (mimo’s built-in tools are scoped to the workspace by default).

{
  "servers": {
    "fs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/you/Documents"]
    }
  }
}

Provides 13 tools: read_text_file / write_file / edit_file / move_file / directory_tree / etc.

2. git

Lets the agent run git diff / git log / git blame and other operations that are awkward via shell.

{
  "servers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-git", "--repository", "/Users/you/code/my-project"]
    }
  }
}

Needs uv: pip install uv or brew install uv

3. fetch

Similar to the built-in web_fetch but handles cookies / redirects better.

{
  "servers": {
    "fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"]
    }
  }
}

4. sqlite

Let the agent run SQL against a SQLite database.

{
  "servers": {
    "sqlite": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-sqlite", "--db-path", "/Users/you/data/app.db"]
    }
  }
}

5. sequential-thinking

A structured “plan-then-execute” framework for complex tasks.

{
  "servers": {
    "thinking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"]
    }
  }
}

All five at once

{
  "servers": {
    "fs":       { "command": "npx",  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/you/Documents"] },
    "git":      { "command": "uvx",  "args": ["mcp-server-git", "--repository", "/Users/you/code"] },
    "fetch":    { "command": "uvx",  "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"] },
    "sqlite":   { "command": "uvx",  "args": ["mcp-server-sqlite", "--db-path", "/Users/you/data/app.db"] },
    "thinking": { "command": "npx",  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"] }
  }
}

Start mimo and you’ll see:

  mcp servers: 5 · skills: ...

The agent immediately has ~30 MCP tools + the 8 built-in = 38 total.
