Aiden can be embedded directly into external tools like [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download), [Cursor](https://cursor.com), or [Windsurf](https://windsurf.com/), allowing developers to interact with Aiden without ever leaving their preferred environments.

## Configure MCP Clients to Access Aiden

- Log in to [OpsVerse Aiden](https://aiden.opsverse.io).
- Go to `Settings` -> `API Keys` and create a new API Key
- In your MCP Client application *(Claude Code/Cursor/Windsurf)*, use the following MCP Server configuration:

### Claude Desktop

Go to `Settings` -> `Developer` -> `Local MCP Servers`, choose `Edit Config` and add the following in the `claude_desktop_config.json` and restart Claude Desktop

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://aiden-mcp.opsverse.io/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${APIKEY}"
       ],
      "env": {
        "APIKEY": "<APIKey>"
       }
    } 
  }
}
```

- You should now see Aiden available under MCP Integrations

### Other MCP Clients

Similar to configurations above, simply ensure that you define the server endpoint as `https://aidenmcp.opsverse.io/mcp` and pass the authorization header as `Bearer <APIKEY>` and you should be able to use Aiden tools, prompts, and resources.
