Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http bankruptcyobserver-mcp https://mcp.bankruptcyobserver.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add bankruptcyobserver-mcp --url https://mcp.bankruptcyobserver.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable bankruptcyobserver-mcp in your MCP settings.

    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
