# Connecting

> Step-by-step setup to connect Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients to the Crevio MCP server and start managing your business with AI agents.

The Crevio MCP server uses **Streamable HTTP** transport — a single endpoint that accepts JSON-RPC requests and returns JSON-RPC responses (optionally streaming over Server-Sent Events). Any MCP-compatible client that supports Streamable HTTP can connect.

## Base URL

```
https://mcp.crevio.co/mcp
```

A single endpoint handles everything: clients `POST` JSON-RPC messages to it, and the server replies with a JSON response or an SSE stream. There is no separate connection or messages endpoint to manage.

## Authentication

All MCP requests require a **Bearer token** in the `Authorization` header. Use the same API tokens from your [Developer settings](/developer/guides/api-overview#creating-api-tokens).

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://mcp.crevio.co/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
```

<Warning>
  MCP tokens have the same permissions as API tokens. Only share them with trusted AI tools and agents.
</Warning>

## Connecting to Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file (`claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crevio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.crevio.co/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

After restarting Claude Desktop, you can ask Claude to manage your business in plain English:

> "List all my products and their prices"
>
> "Create a 20% discount code called SUMMER20 that expires next month"
>
> "Who are my top 5 customers by order count?"

## Connecting to Cursor

In Cursor, go to **Settings** > **MCP Servers** and add a new server:

* **Name**: Crevio
* **Type**: Streamable HTTP
* **URL**: `https://mcp.crevio.co/mcp`
* **Headers**: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN`

## Other MCP clients

Any MCP-compatible client that supports Streamable HTTP transport can connect. The server implements the standard [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification) with JSON-RPC over HTTP.

<Note>
  Once connected, see the [Overview](/developer/mcp) for how the two tools (`code_search` and `code_execute`) work and what the API exposes.
