Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your OS:

  "mcpServers": {
    "academy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-academy"],
      "env": {
        "ACADEMY_API_KEY": "academy_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {

Env Variables

Setting ACADEMY_BASE_URL is useful if you want to run the MCP server against a local Academy instance (http://localhost:3220).

Privacy

The server never stores anything locally. Every call is a straight HTTPS request to your Academy account, authenticated by the Bearer token you configured. Revoke any key at https://academy.studiomeyer.io/dashboard/keys.
