Setup & Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add soclip to your claude_desktop_config.json (located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "soclip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "soclip-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOCLIP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json or Cursor Settings -> Features -> MCP Servers):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "soclip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "soclip-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SOCLIP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: If you have already set up your key using the CLI (soclip config set-key <key>), soclip-mcp will automatically read ~/.soclip/config.json if SOCLIP_API_KEY is not present in env.
