Configuration Reference

This page lists all configurable properties for the ReadyAPI MCP Server.

Table 104. Server properties

Property	Default	Description
`readyapi.mcp.port`	`2015`	TCP port on which the MCP Server listens. Configurable via the ReadyAPI UI - see Changing the port below.
Bind host	`127.0.0.1`	Hardcoded to localhost. Not configurable.
Transport	Streamable HTTP	Fixed. `stdio` is not supported.
Auth scheme	Bearer token (UUIDv4)	Generated on first install, encrypted at rest, and stored locally within the application. Regeneratable from Preferences > Integrations > ReadyAPI MCP > Regenerate.
Token expiry	None	The token persists across ReadyAPI updates. It is invalidated when the plugin is uninstalled or when you manually regenerate it.

Changing the port

To use a port other than the default 2015:

Go to Preferences > Integrations > ReadyAPI MCP.
Set the TCP Port field to your preferred value.
Update the server URL in all connected MCP client configurations to match. See Connect an MCP Client for the configuration format for each client.

If a token is compromised or you need to rotate credentials:

Go to Preferences > Integrations > ReadyAPI MCP.
Click Regenerate.
Copy the new token and update the Authorization header in all connected MCP client configurations.

The old token is invalidated immediately. Connected clients using the old token receive a 401 Unauthorized response until they are updated.
