# Multi-User Mode
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Multi-user mode is under development and not yet fully integrated.
|
|
> This information is provided for testing purposes only.
|
|
|
|
The Penpot MCP server supports a multi-user mode, allowing multiple Penpot users
|
|
to connect to the same MCP server instance simultaneously.
|
|
This supports remote deployments of the MCP server, without requiring each user
|
|
to run their own server instance.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
Multi-user mode has the limitation that tools which read from or write to
|
|
the local file system are not supported, as the server cannot access
|
|
the client's file system. This affects the import and export tools.
|
|
|
|
## Running Components in Multi-User Mode
|
|
|
|
To run the MCP server and the Penpot MCP plugin in multi-user mode (for testing),
|
|
you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm run bootstrap:multi-user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
* launch the MCP server in multi-user mode (adding the `--multi-user` flag),
|
|
* build and launch the Penpot MCP plugin server in multi-user mode.
|
|
|
|
See the package.json scripts for both `mcp-server` and `penpot-plugin` for details.
|
|
|
|
In multi-user mode, users are required to be authenticated via a token.
|
|
|
|
* This token is provided in the URL used to connect to the MCP server,
|
|
e.g. `http://localhost:4401/mcp?userToken=USER_TOKEN`.
|
|
* The same token must be provided when connecting the Penpot MCP plugin
|
|
to the MCP server.
|
|
In the future, the token will, most likely be generated by Penpot and
|
|
provided to the plugin automatically.
|
|
:warning: For now, it is hard-coded in the plugin's source code for testing purposes.
