Connecting MCP Clients

Your MCP server works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol.

Configuration​

After deploying, you receive a JSON config snippet:

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

Client-specific instructions​

Settings → MCP Servers → paste the JSON snippet → restart Cursor.

Claude Desktop​

JetBrains (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm)​

Configure through the MCP plugin settings.

Custom / SDK​

Use the SSE endpoint URL (/api/mcp/{slug}/sse) with any MCP-compatible SDK:

# Python
pip install mcp

# Node.js
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

Transports​

TransportMethodEndpoint
SSEGET/api/mcp/{slug}/sse
Streamable HTTPPOST/api/mcp/{slug}

Most MCP clients use SSE. The Streamable HTTP endpoint accepts JSON-RPC payloads for programmatic access.
