Cursor and Windsurf are AI-powered code editors with MCP support:

Configuration

1. Open MCP Settings

   In Cursor/Windsurf, open settings and navigate to MCP Servers or Connectors

2. Add Server Configuration

   Add a new MCP server with these details:

   {
     "name": "token-layer",
     "transport": "http",
     "url": "https://mcp-server.onthrust.com",
     "headers": {
       "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
     }
   }
   

3. Reload Editor

   Restart Cursor/Windsurf to apply the configuration

4. Test Connection

   Ask the AI: “What are the trending tokens on Thrust?”

Alternative: Config File

You can also add the MCP server via config file:

Cursor (mcp-config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "token-layer": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp-server.onthrust.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key. Never commit API keys to version control!
