3. Deploy	Build and deploy to DarcyIQ's secure infrastructure	Click deploy and monitor progress
4. Connect	Enable the integration for use in Chat and Workflows	Toggle on for Darcy or get manual connection details
5. Monitor	Track usage and debug issues	View real-time logs

Custom vs. Catalog MCPs

Choose the right approach for your needs:

Feature	Custom MCPs	Catalog MCPs
Setup Time	15-30 minutes	2-5 minutes
Code Required	Yes (Python or Node.js)	No (pre-built)
Customization	Full control	Configuration only
AI Assistance	Code generation available	Not applicable
Best For	Unique integrations, proprietary systems	Common tools, standard APIs
Examples	Custom CRM, internal database, proprietary API	Slack, GitHub, popular databases

Supported Runtimes

MCP Studio supports two runtime environments:

Runtime	Language	Best For
Python	Python 3.11+	Data processing, API integrations, automation
