public final class MCPClientRegistrar

Object
MCPClientRegistrar

Detects installed MCP hosts and registers a Codename One application’s stdio MCP server with them, so an end user can point Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex and similar tools at the application without editing config by hand.

Two config shapes are written: the JSON mcpServers object the Claude hosts use, and the [mcp_servers.<name>] tables Codex keeps in ~/.codex/config.toml (see MCPToml). Either way the user’s other servers and settings are preserved, and a config that cannot be edited safely is reported and left alone.

This is a plain reusable API. It is meant to be driven by Codename One tooling (the certificate wizard, Game Builder, Settings, the simulator) and by applications themselves.

Registration is a desktop concern. File access goes through FileSystemStorage so the class links on every target, but isSupported() is false where the platform provides no reachable home directory (mobile), and each detected host reports whether its config is writable.

Nested types

class MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient A detected MCP host and where its config lives.

Methods

`public static` `MCPClientRegistrar getInstance()`
`public boolean isSupported()`	Returns true when this platform exposes a home directory the registrar can reach.
`public` `List<MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient> detectClients()`	Detects installed MCP hosts by looking for their config file or its parent directory under the user home.
`public` `List<MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient> register(MCPClientDescriptor descriptor)`	Registers the descriptor with every detected, writable host.
`public` `List<MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient> register(MCPClientDescriptor descriptor, List<MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient> clients)`	Registers the descriptor with the given hosts.
`public` `List<MCPClientRegistrar.MCPClient> unregister(String serverName)`	Removes the named server entry from every detected, writable host.
