## Hosted endpoint (no install needed)

Connect directly to our hosted MCP server — no local Python/uvx install required:

```
https://thedailyworkflow.com/api/v1/mcp/bridge
```

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thedailyworkflow": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://thedailyworkflow.com/api/v1/mcp/bridge"
    }
  }
}
```

> **Note:** Some MCP clients use `"transport": "streamable-http"` instead of `"type": "url"` — check your client's docs.

## How it works

This MCP server is a thin client over the public REST API at `https://thedailyworkflow.com/api/v1/*`. No auth required, no API key, no tracking beyond standard server logs.

Source code is ~400 lines — read [`server.py`](src/thedailyworkflow_mcp/server.py) to see exactly what it does.
