  "mcpServers": {
    "llamacloud": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/llamacloud/build/index.js",
      ],
      "env": {
        "LLAMA_CLOUD_INDEX_NAME": "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
        "LLAMA_CLOUD_PROJECT_NAME": "<YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>",
        "LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"

    }

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
