Connecting Your MCP Server to AI Clients

After creating your MCP server in Cequence AI Gateway, connect it to your preferred AI client to start using it. This section provides detailed configuration instructions for each supported client.

Supported AI Clients

Claude Desktop

Configure your MCP server with Claude Desktop, Anthropic's official desktop application with native MCP support.

Cursor IDE

Connect your MCP server to Cursor, the AI-powered code editor built for maximum productivity.

Windsurf IDE

Set up your MCP server with Windsurf, Codeium's AI IDE featuring the Cascade AI system.

Quick Start

All clients use a similar configuration structure. After creating your MCP server, you'll receive a server URL from Cequence AI Gateway. Add this configuration to your client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-server-name": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@cequenceai/mcp-remote",
        "your-mcp-server-url"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace:

• your-server-name - A descriptive name for this integration (e.g., "salesforce", "github", "databricks")
• your-mcp-server-url - The URL provided by Cequence AI Gateway

Configuration File Locations

Each client stores its MCP configuration in a different location:

Client	Configuration Location
Claude Desktop (macOS)	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Claude Desktop (Windows)	%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Cursor (macOS/Linux)	~/.cursor/config/mcp.json
Cursor (Windows)	%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\config\mcp.json
Windsurf	Via Settings UI: Advanced → Cascade

Next Steps

2. Follow the detailed configuration guide for your client
3. Start using your MCP server with natural language commands
