Many developer tools (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code extensions like Continue/Cline) already understand MCP. The setup is nearly identical to Claude or ChatGPT.

Generic Steps

  1. Open the tool’s MCP/Connectors settings panel.
  2. Click Add Server (sometimes called “Add Tool” or “Add Provider”).
  3. Paste the InsightfulPipe endpoint (same URLs used for Claude/ChatGPT).
  4. When asked, log in with your InsightfulPipe account to approve access.
  5. Enable the server for the project or workspace you’re working in.

Popular Clients

  • Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code extensions: look for a mcpServers list in settings JSON and add the URL + optional label.
  • Continue.dev / Cline: provide the endpoint and token via their settings UI; both support multiple servers at once.
  • Custom apps: treat the endpoint like any other MCP server—hand it the URL and let the app handle auth.

Usage Tips

  • Toggle only the servers you need for that session to keep responses focused.
  • If a client can’t open the login popup, copy the auth URL into a browser, sign in, and paste the returned code (most tools support this fallback).
  • Re-authenticate whenever you rotate your InsightfulPipe password.
