mcpServers

• Type: object

      "memory": {
        "command": "memory-server"
      }
    }
  }

allowedMcpServers

• Default: unspecified
• Description: When set in managed-settings.json, allowlist of MCP servers users can configure. Each entry contains identifiers like serverName, command, or glob URL patterns. Undefined = no restrictions, empty array = lockdown. Applies to all scopes.
• Example:

  {
    "allowedMcpServers": [
      {
        "serverName": "github"
      }
    ]
  }

deniedMcpServers

• Type: object[]
• Default: unspecified

        "serverName": "filesystem"
      }
    ]
  }
