Transports
Connect to the Kernel MCP server over streamable HTTP or stdio
The Kernel MCP server is reachable at a single endpoint over two transports.
-
Streamable HTTP (recommended):
https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp -
stdio via
mcp-remote(for clients without remote MCP support):npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp
Use the streamable HTTP endpoint where supported for increased reliability. If your client doesn't support remote MCP, use mcp-remote over stdio.
Quick setup: Use the Kernel CLI to automatically configure MCP for your tool: kernel mcp install --target <target>. See the CLI MCP documentation for details.
Once you've chosen a transport, connect your client and set up authentication.
