• Manage committees — Search, create, update, and delete committees and their members across projects
• Work with mailing lists — Search mailing lists and their subscribers
• Query members — Search memberships by tier, status, organization, and more; get and manage key contacts
• Track meetings — Find upcoming meetings, registrants, past participants, and AI-generated summaries
• Manage Discord roles — List roles, find users, check and assign roles in a project's Discord guild
• Send emails — Browse email templates and send templated emails via LFX mail servers
• Query with LFX Lens — Ask natural-language questions about project data (events, contributors, health, and more)
• Search B2B organizations — Find organizations and list their project memberships

Connecting to the LFX MCP Server

The LFX MCP Server is available as a hosted, production service at:

https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp

This endpoint uses the Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.0 authentication. You will be prompted to log in with your Linux Foundation account the first time you connect.

Note: Running the LFX MCP Server locally (e.g. in stdio mode) is not a supported end-user configuration. The full tool set requires OAuth authentication flows that are only available through the hosted service.

Linux Foundation SSO does not support Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) or Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) at this time. Please file an issue to request additional client support.

OpenCode

Add the following to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "lfx-mcp-server": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp",
      "enabled": true,
      "oauth": {
        "clientId": "LnBd9qGpwjXNs26aZxeXSkTCs0ac4zgM"
      }
    }
  }
}

See the OpenCode MCP documentation for more details.

Claude (LF enterprise)

If you use the Linux Foundation's enterprise Claude.ai organization, the LFX MCP Server is already provisioned as a connector — you do not need to add it manually.

1. In Claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors.
2. Find LFX MCP Server in the list of available connectors.
3. Click Connect.
4. Sign in with your LFID when prompted.
5. Click Authorize to grant access; you will be redirected back to Claude.

The connector is now active for your account.

Claude (personal account)

Add the LFX MCP Server in **Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector **:

• URL: https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp
• Client ID: Ef9tuU5wcJJIXmNGvZyGUkZFfD8CZWar

Cursor

Add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lfx": {
      "url": "https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "HwGWwUy4uvqVQYDsuXb9IVamzcUhdZj5"
      }
    }
  }
}

Additional clients (via mcp-remote)

If your MCP client does not support OAuth 2.0 with Streamable HTTP, you can use mcp-remote as a local proxy. It handles the OAuth flow in your browser and serves a stdio transport to your MCP client.

The port 3334 is required so that the OAuth callback URL matches the registered client. Please refer to your client's documentation for the exact configuration syntax. For example, in Zed (~/.config/zed/settings.json):

{
  "context_servers": {
    "lfx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp",
        "3334",
        "--static-oauth-client-info",
        "{\"client_id\":\"tjrXD5ZJORf6rpngMSRqqPmf3W1bnHEV\"}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

A browser window will open for authentication on first use. To clear cached credentials (e.g. to re-authenticate):

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth

MCP Inspector (developer testing)

MCP Inspector is a browser-based tool for exploring and testing MCP servers. To connect it to the LFX MCP Server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Then in the Inspector UI:

• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• URL: https://mcp.lfx.dev/mcp
• Authentication → OAuth 2.0 Flow → Client ID: 4ibLLbnz9kwMEcE3RUCUH51F0RS3Hx3O

Before hitting Connect, follow the Open Auth Settings button, then select Quick OAuth Flow.
