Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Which AI assistants are compatible with this setup?
Tools that support the SSE (Server-Sent Events) interface of MCP, such as Cursor and Windsurf. Tools that only support STDIO (e.g., current versions of Claude Desktop) are not compatible.
What are the prerequisites for running this setup?
You need Docker and Docker Compose installed, plus a DNS configuration that resolves all *-mcp.localhost hostnames to 127.0.0.1. Router-level DNS is recommended but host file entries also work.
How do I customize the configuration for each service?
Edit the corresponding .config files in the mcp-configs directory (e.g., postgres.config for PostgreSQL) with your connection credentials and parameters. You can also modify docker-compose.yml to add, remove, or update services.
How do I update the MCP Docker images?
Run docker-compose pull to fetch the latest images, then docker-compose down followed by docker-compose up -d to restart services. For a single service, use docker pull <image> and `docker-compose up -d --no-deps
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
