MCP Client Integration
Wire any MCP server into the client that will consume it — declaratively for IDEs, programmatically for custom apps.
When to Use
- Installing an MCP server into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor
- Building a custom MCP client (web app, CLI, agent framework)
- Debugging "server failed to start" or "no tools showing up"
- Sharing MCP config across a team
