Install in your client
Open the MCP panel from the account menu (or go to exayard.com/?mcp=1) for ready-to-copy install blocks for each client. What follows is the raw shape for reference.
Cursor (deep link)
Clicking this link installs the server in Cursor:
cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=exayard&config=%7B%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.exayard.com%2Fmcp%22%2C%22transport%22%3A%22streamable-http%22%7D
Paste this into your address bar or wire it up as a button. Cursor prompts for auth on first use.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"exayard": {
"url": "https://api.exayard.com/mcp",
"env": { "EXAYARD_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>" }
}
}
}
Generic MCP clients (Codex, Continue, Goose, Windsurf)
Most accept the same shape as Claude Desktop. See your client's MCP section for the exact JSON location.
OAuth vs API key
For long-lived human sessions use OAuth (and let the client run the DCR flow). For CI or server-to-server, use an API key — faster setup, but rotate regularly.
