## What Is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it like a USB-C port for AI: one standard connector, unlimited devices.
## Why Use This All-in-One Server?
Instead of deploying and managing 5-10 different MCP servers (one for text, one for math, one for business tools), this single server replaces them all. Connect once and unlock everything.
## What You Need Before Starting
### Install Prerequisites
Install all required tools first (run once on your machine).
### Deployment Steps
1. Step 1 - Get the code.
2. Step 2 - Install dependencies.
3. Step 3 - Login to Vercel.
4. Step 4 - Deploy.
5. Step 5 - Verify deployment.
## Where Is the Config File?
### Option A - Using `mcp-remote` (Recommended)
This is the simplest method. It uses `npx` to automatically handle the HTTP-to-MCP bridge.
### Option B - Direct HTTP Connection (Advanced Clients)
Some MCP clients (like Cursor) support direct HTTP connections without `npx`.
### Final Step
Restart Claude Desktop after updating your config.
## Setup in Cursor
1. Open Cursor.
2. Press `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows).
3. Search for `Cursor Settings` and open Settings.
4. Navigate to `Features -> MCP Servers`.
5. Click `Add MCP Server`.
6. Paste your config and click Save.
## Verification
### Test via Browser
Visit your deployment URLs in the browser to confirm everything works.
### Test via Command Line (`curl`)
Run `curl` checks against your MCP and health endpoints.
