# Managing and removing servers

Review dependent agents and workflows, disable the server, confirm tools disappear from new tasks, then remove its configuration and revoke credentials.

![Managing and removing servers in Foxora v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/settings/mcp-server.webp)

## Where this lives

Open **Settings → MCP Server**.

Model Context Protocol connects Foxora to external tool and resource servers. Foxora can consume configured MCP servers and can expose supported Foxora capabilities to an MCP client.

> **Safety:** An MCP server can run code or access external systems with its own privileges. Trust the publisher, pin configuration where possible, and never place secrets in arguments or prompts.

## Steps

1. Open **Settings → MCP Server**.
2. Review dependent agents and workflows.
3. Disable the server.
4. Confirm tools disappear from new tasks.
5. Remove its configuration and revoke credentials.
6. Review what will be retained, revoked, detached, stopped, or permanently deleted; export anything you may need later.
7. **Confirm the result.** Call one read-only tool with controlled input, inspect its result and server logs, then verify disconnecting the server removes those capabilities from new work.

## Choose the right path

- Use local stdio for a server installed on this device.
- Use remote transport for an authenticated managed endpoint.
- Use a Composio plugin when the target SaaS application is already supported.


## Confirm it worked

- Call one read-only tool with controlled input, inspect its result and server logs, then verify disconnecting the server removes those capabilities from new work.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
