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
Plugin Name
RTC MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
- JDK 17 or higher
- Maven 3.6 or higher
- Alibaba Cloud account with RTC (Realtime Compute) access
- Alibaba Cloud Access Key ID and Secret
To use this server as an MCP client, add the following configuration to your MCP settings file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"rtc-mcp-server": {
"command": "java",
"args": [
"-Dtransport.mode=stdio",
"-Dspring.main.web-application-type=none",
"-Dspring.main.banner-mode=off",
"-Dlogging.file.name=/path/to/rtc-mcp-server/mcpserver.log",
"-jar",
"/path/to/rtc-mcp-server/target/rtc-mcp-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
],
"env": {
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key-id",
"ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your-access-key-secret"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
