Set up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in a terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http codetrendy https://codetrendy.com/api/mcpClaude Desktop
Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste this URL:
https://codetrendy.com/api/mcpOr bridge it through mcp-remote in claude_desktop_config.json (needs Node.js):
{
"mcpServers": {
"codetrendy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
]
}
}
}Cursor
Or add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"codetrendy": {
"url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}VS Code
Or add it to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"codetrendy": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Or from a terminal:
code --add-mcp '{"name": "codetrendy", "type": "http", "url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"}'Windsurf
Add it to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"codetrendy": {
"serverUrl": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Other clients
Most clients accept this shape. The endpoint is:
https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp{
"mcpServers": {
"codetrendy": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}If it does not connect
- Restart the client after editing a config file, and keep keys out of files you commit.
- If the tools do not appear, open the client's MCP log: a 401 means the credentials were not accepted, and a timeout means the server did not answer.
