Connect to AI Tools

After deploying your MCP server, connect it to your AI assistant in seconds.

The config snippet​

After deployment, you receive a JSON snippet:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-docs": {
      "url": "https://appatools.com/mcp-studio/api/mcp/my-docs/sse"
    }
  }
}

Supported clients​

Cursor​

  1. Open Settings → MCP Servers
  2. Paste the JSON config
  3. Restart Cursor

Claude Desktop​

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config
  2. Add your server to the mcpServers object
  3. Restart Claude Desktop

Windsurf​

  1. Open your MCP configuration file
  2. Add the server entry
  3. Restart Windsurf

Other MCP clients​

Any client that supports the MCP standard can connect using the SSE endpoint URL. This includes VS Code extensions, JetBrains plugins, Neovim, and custom integrations.

Verify the connection​

Once connected, your AI tool should list the MCP tools you selected (e.g., search_docs, get_code_examples). Try asking a question related to your indexed sources — the AI agent should call your MCP tools automatically.

What if it's not working?​

  • Make sure you copied the full JSON snippet including the outer mcpServers wrapper
  • Check that your MCP server's status is Active on the Dashboard
  • Restart your AI tool after adding the config
  • If sources are still indexing, the server works but may use live fetching (slightly slower)
