Overview
What is LaunchDarkly's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server?
A self-managed MCP server that enables AI clients to interact with LaunchDarkly’s feature flags, AI configs, audit logs, environments, and code references. It is designed for LaunchDarkly Federal and European Union (EU) instances where the hosted MCP server is not yet available.
How to use LaunchDarkly's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server?
Install via npx, Docker, standalone binary, or local clone. Configure your AI client (Cursor, Claude, Qodo Gen, GitHub Copilot CLI) with the mcp start command and a LaunchDarkly API key. For EU or Federal instances, add the --server-url argument with the appropriate environment URL.

FAQ from LaunchDarkly's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
How is this different from LaunchDarkly’s hosted MCP server?
The hosted MCP server is more feature complete and receives more frequent updates. LaunchDarkly strongly recommends using the hosted server where available. This self-managed server exists for LaunchDarkly EU or Federal instances that do not yet support the hosted version.
What dependencies are required?
For JavaScript runtimes, see RUNTIMES.md. The standalone binary has no additional dependencies. For npx installation, Node.js and npm must be available.
Where does flag and config data live?
Data remains in LaunchDarkly. The MCP server connects to the LaunchDarkly API using your API key. No customer data is stored locally by the server.
What transport or authentication does the server use?
The server uses the MCP protocol. Authentication is via a LaunchDarkly API key passed as a --api-key argument. For Docker, the server listens on localhost:8080 with SSE transport.
Are there any known limitations?
The self-managed server is less feature complete than the hosted version and receives fewer updates. No other explicit limits are documented in the README.
