`argent init` puts mcp config for Claude in a nonexistant "server" key

[simarmol]

Basically what the title says. it puts this in the .mcp.json file:

 "servers": {
    "argent": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "argent",
      "args": [
        "mcp"
      ],
...

but the key you need is "mcpServers.json" as far as I know. I looked through the Claude Code docs and didn't see any mention of a "servers" key.

Hi @simarmol, thank you for reaching out.

The "servers" field is the compatibility entry for the Github Copilot and should only be initialised by us in the .vscode/mcp.json in the local repository. The file .mcp.json used by Claude should have proper "mcpServers" key, as you have outlined.

Is the configuration with "servers" option written to the .mcp.jsonor other files used by claude? Has this been a problem using Argent?

It was happening to both my root .mcp.json and my .vscode/.mcp.json. I believe it caused Claude to have a warning if you ran /doctor regarding the config file? But I noticed it primarily because my IDE was indicating that that key wasn't part of the .mcp.json (the claude one) schema.
