When setting up serena on the mcp server for a CLI-based AI agent, the dashboard automatically starts and opens in the browser. I want to prevent this.
Solution
Set --enable-web-dashboard to false.
~/.codex
[mcp_servers.serena]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "git+https://github.com/oraios/serena", "serena", "start-mcp-server", "--context", "codex", "--enable-web-dashboard", "false"]
~/.gemini
"mcpServers": {
"serena": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--from", "git+https://github.com/oraios/serena",
"serena-mcp-server",
"--context", "ide-assistant",
"--enable-web-dashboard", "false"
]
}
}
