Generator

The generated JSON mirrors the Claude Code and Cursor install guides: one server named answer-engine, one npx command, one scoped library, and the corrected Answer Engine host.

OUTPUT .mcp.json

Project-scoped Claude Code config. Use user scope only when you want the same memory in every repo.

FAQ

What does the MCP setup generator create?

It creates a valid Answer Engine MCP config JSON block and the matching npx answer-engine-mcp install command for Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex-style MCP clients.

Does the generator mint a real API key?

No. It uses an ae_live_ placeholder so the generated config is safe to copy before you create or paste a real scoped key.

Which Answer Engine host does the generator use?

The generated config always uses https://engine.answeragent.ai for the API base URL and references https://engine.answeragent.ai/mcp for hosted HTTP MCP.
