Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Option 1: Using npx (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "surge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "surge-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SURGE_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "SURGE_PORT": "6171",
        "SURGE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Using local installation

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "surge": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/surge_mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SURGE_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "SURGE_PORT": "6171",
        "SURGE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/surge_mcp with the actual path to this project and YOUR_API_KEY with your Surge API key.

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

• Ensure Surge is running

• Verify HTTP API is enabled in Surge configuration

• Check that the API key matches

• Confirm the port number is correct

Authentication Errors

• Double-check your API key is set correctly

• Ensure the API key in Surge config matches the environment variable

Security Notes

• Keep your API key secure and never commit it to version control

• The API key grants full control over Surge

• Consider using http-api-tls = true for encrypted communication

• Restrict the API to localhost (127.0.0.1) unless remote access is needed
