# MCP Setup

> Use copy-paste configs for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other clients using mcp-remote.

## Cursor

Add the server to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thred": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.thred.dev/v1?apiKey=YOUR_THRED_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Claude Desktop

Add the server to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thred": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.thred.dev/v1?apiKey=YOUR_THRED_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Other MCP Clients

Use the same connection pattern:

* remote URL: `https://mcp.thred.dev/v1?apiKey=YOUR_THRED_API_KEY`

## Verify Connection

After connecting, run:

* `check_backend_health`

Expected result:

```text theme={null}
Backend is healthy. Status: ok
```
