Connect Cursor / Claude
Point your MCP client at InstantMCP.io.
Add InstantMCP.io as a remote MCP server. Use the public docs endpoint today; your own InstantMCP.io server URL works the same way when you ship one.
Before you start
- Confirm your client supports remote / HTTP MCP (Streamable HTTP).
- Have the MCP URL ready: either
https://instantmcp.io/mcpor your hosted server URL from /app.
Cursor
Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or your global Cursor MCP config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"instantmcp": {
"url": "https://instantmcp.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Reload MCP servers in Cursor (Command Palette → MCP). You should see InstantMCP.io tools such as search_docs and get_pricing.
If tools do not appear:
- Check the URL (no trailing path mistakes)
- Restart Cursor after saving
mcp.json - Confirm network access to the host
Claude Desktop / Claude.ai
Add a remote MCP connector with URL:
https://instantmcp.io/mcp
Exact UI steps vary by Claude client version; look for Custom connectors or MCP servers. Authenticate if the product asks for it, then enable the InstantMCP.io tools in the conversation.
ChatGPT
Where custom MCP / actions are supported, register:
https://instantmcp.io/mcp
as a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. Prefer the same URL you use in Cursor so behavior stays consistent across clients.
Local development
When running this site locally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"instantmcp": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
}
}
}
Use this only for local debugging. Production clients should point at your hosted InstantMCP.io URL.
Your own InstantMCP.io server
After you create a server in /app, replace the public docs URL with your hosted endpoint. The JSON shape stays the same; only the url field changes.
Get the snippet via tool
If InstantMCP.io is already connected, call get_connect_snippet to print the JSON for Cursor or Claude. You can also ask the site assistant for a connect snippet tailored to your client.
