The Home dashboard is available in the hosted app at app.mcpjam.com and requires you to be signed in with an active organization.
Overview
When you open MCPJam, the Home tab loads at/home (also the root /). If you don’t have an active organization yet, the page shows a Get started prompt that takes you to the Organizations page.
If you are signing in for the first time, MCPJam routes you to the Playground instead of Home so you can start exploring right away. After your first visit to the Playground, subsequent logins land on Home as normal.
- Greeting — a time-aware greeting with your first name.
- Org stats strip — live counts for teammates, projects, servers, eval suites, tool executions (last 30 days), and messages sent (last 30 days).
- MCPJam Agent composer — a text input to start or resume an agent conversation directly from the home page.
- What’s new — a compact list of recent platform releases and changes, with per-item dismiss and a “Clear all” action.
- Recommended servers and Recommended clients — displayed side by side in a two-column grid.
Org stats strip
The stats strip appears directly below the greeting and shows six metrics for your organization:
Click projects or servers to jump to the Servers tab. Click eval suites to jump to the Evals tab. The 30-day metrics refresh automatically in the background.
Recommended servers
The Recommended servers section shows a curated list of MCP servers. To connect one:- Make sure you have an active project selected.
- Click Connect next to the server you want.
- MCPJam creates the server on your active project and navigates to the Servers tab.
Recommended clients
The Recommended clients section lets you create a pre-configured sandbox client from a template. Available templates include Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. To create a client:- Make sure you have an active project selected.
- Click the template you want.
- MCPJam creates the client on your active project and opens it in the Clients tab.
What’s new
The What’s new section appears above the recommended servers and clients grid and lists recent platform updates.- Hover a row to open a popover with a muted looping video preview (or a YouTube thumbnail if no preview clip is available).
- Click a row to open a panel with the full video, a “Watch on YouTube” link, an optional Docs link, and the full release description. Click Got it or press Escape to close.
- Dismiss a single update with the ✕ button that appears on hover.
- Clear all dismisses every pending update at once.
- If there are more than three updates, a View more button expands the list inline.
MCPJam Agent panel
The MCPJam Agent is a persistent chat panel that lets you ask questions about docs, evals, and tools without leaving your current tab. It is available on every tab — Playground, Evals, Clients, and others — so you can keep a conversation going while you work.Opening the panel
- Click the Ask MCPJam button in the top-right header bar.
- Press ⌘\ (Mac) or Ctrl+\ (Windows / Linux) from anywhere in the app. The shortcut is ignored when focus is inside a text input, textarea, or content-editable field.
What the agent can do
The agent acts by driving the inspector UI directly — every action it takes is visible on your screen as it happens. It uses the documentation and web search to answer knowledge questions, and navigates or operates the app on your behalf through UI actions.
For server management, adding and connecting are always two separate steps — the agent saves the server first, then connects it, so you can see each change as it happens. If a server requires OAuth authorization, the agent reports that and waits for you to click Authorize yourself; it never redirects the page on your behalf. Removing a server is irreversible from chat, so it always pauses for approval even when the Tool approval toggle is off.
Actions that mutate the UI (such as running a tool call) pause for your explicit approval before they run when the Tool approval toggle is on. Destructive actions — those that can’t be undone by looking at the screen — always pause for approval regardless of the toggle setting.
Using the panel
- New chat — Click New chat in the panel header to start a fresh conversation.
- Resume a session — Previously started sessions are listed in the panel’s home view. Click one to continue.
- Resize — Drag the left edge of the panel to adjust its width. The minimum width is 360 px; the maximum is 50% of the viewport. Dragging below the minimum snaps the panel closed.
- Close — Click the ✕ button in the panel header, or press the keyboard shortcut again.
Tool approval
The composer footer includes a Tool approval toggle (shield icon).- Toggle off (default) — Additive UI actions apply immediately. Destructive actions (those that can’t be undone by looking at the screen) still pause for approval.
- Toggle on (strict) — Every mutating UI action pauses before it runs.
Widget rendering
The agent supports MCP Apps widget rendering. When a workspace tool returns an interactive widget — for example, asking “show my servers” — the widget renders inline in the chat, just like widgets in the LLM Playground. You can interact with the widget directly without leaving the panel.Persistence
The panel’s open state, width, and active session are saved to your browser’s local storage and restored on reload. Conversations persist server-side, so you can close and reopen the panel without losing your chat history. On mobile viewports (below 768 px) the panel opens as a full-width drawer instead of an inline side panel.The MCPJam Agent panel is available to all signed-in users.
