If you already have MCP servers configured in Claude Code (~/.claude.json) or Codex (~/.codex/config.toml), you can bulk-register the remote ones instead of adding them one at a time.

​
From the dashboard

On the Backend Servers page, click Import existing servers. It generates a ready-to-run command with a short-lived token, so you don’t need to enter a password.

​
From the command line

Run with --dry-run first to see what would be imported. Drop the flag to actually create the backend servers. Set MCP1_API if the API isn’t at http://localhost:4000/api.

​
What gets imported

Only http and sse servers can be imported. stdio/command servers are skipped — mcp1 is a hosted gateway that dials outbound HTTP and can neither store nor reach a local subprocess. To bring a local stdio server in, use the bridge instead.
Auth headers aren’t carried over during import either. A remote server that needs an Authorization header imports successfully but won’t discover any tools until you connect it (for example, via OAuth) from the dashboard.
