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 stackrates-mcp https://stackrates.ai/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 stackrates-mcp --url https://stackrates.ai/mcp

Cursor

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

  "mcpServers": {
    "stackrates-mcp": {
      "url": "https://stackrates.ai/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": {
    "stackrates-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://stackrates.ai/mcp",
