MCP

The Credit Key Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Credit Key API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Credit Key MCP server provides AI agents with:

  • Direct API access to Credit Key functionality
  • Documentation search capabilities
  • Real-time data from your Credit Key account
  • Code generation assistance for Credit Key integrations

Credit Key MCP Server Setup

Credit Key hosts a remote MCP server at https://docs.creditkey.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "credit-key": {
      "url": "https://docs.creditkey.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about Credit Key - try questions like:
    • "How do I [common use case]?"
    • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
    • "Create a [integration type] using Credit Key"

The AI should now have access to your Credit Key account data and documentation through the MCP server.
