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 work-insiders-mcp https://workinsiders.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 work-insiders-mcp --url https://workinsiders.com/mcp

Cursor

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

      "url": "https://workinsiders.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

    "work-insiders-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://workinsiders.com/mcp",
