BinaSmart MCP MCP server

The BinaSmart MCP server provides AI assistants with tools to interact with Ethiopia's BinaSmart platform. It enables users to book fixed-price rides in Addis Ababa, search for local services like hotels and hospitals, browse events and films, access government guides, and search tender notices. The server supports semantic search across BinaSmart's knowledge base and news articles.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http binasmart-mcp https://bina.et/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 binasmart-mcp --url https://bina.et/mcp

Cursor

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

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binasmart-mcp": {
      "url": "https://bina.et/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binasmart-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://bina.et/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start binasmart-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "binasmart-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bina.et/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http binasmart-mcp https://bina.et/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binasmart-mcp": {
      "url": "https://bina.et/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "binasmart-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://bina.et/mcp"
    }
  }
}
