{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

## **Remote** - **Recommended for most users** 

No setup required—just plug in the URL, fastest way to get started

For tools supporting MCP urls (Streamable HTTP transport) like Cursor, ChatGPT, use

> This transport is now the standard way defined by the [MCP Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports#streamable-http)

```bash
https://mcp.madkudu.com/YOUR_API_KEY/mcp
```

For tools not supporting Streamable HTTP transport yet like Claude, Windsurf, use

```bash
https://mcp.madkudu.com/YOUR_API_KEY/sse
```

## **Local install** - **For custom agents and advanced users**

* Run the MCP client locally (via `npx`)
* Ideal for devs building internal copilots or CLI tools

To use MadKudu MCP with STDIO transport, add the following JSON in the MCP configuration of your client:

```json
{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "supergateway",
    "--sse",
    "https://mcp.madkudu.com/YOUR_API_KEY/sse"
  ]
}
```
