# MCPCore

## Docs

- [Claude Desktop](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/claude-desktop.md): Connect your MCPCore server to Claude Desktop using the mcp-remote bridge.
- [Cline](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/cline.md): Connect your MCPCore server to the Cline VS Code extension.
- [Cursor](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/cursor.md): Connect your MCPCore server to Cursor using its native HTTP MCP transport.
- [Connecting AI Clients](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/overview.md): Add your MCPCore server to any MCP-compatible AI client in under a minute.
- [VS Code](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/vscode.md): Connect your MCPCore server to VS Code using the native MCP HTTP transport.
- [Windsurf](https://docs.mcpcore.io/connect/windsurf.md): Connect your MCPCore server to Windsurf (by Codeium) using the mcp-remote bridge.
- [Introduction](https://docs.mcpcore.io/index.md): MCPCore is the fastest way to build, deploy, and manage MCP servers — no infrastructure required.
- [Analytics](https://docs.mcpcore.io/observability/analytics.md): Interactive charts and KPI cards for tracking request volume, error rates, latency percentiles, tool usage, and geographic distribution.
- [Error Logs](https://docs.mcpcore.io/observability/error-logs.md): Every failed tool call captured with the full error message, stack trace, input parameters, and AI-assisted debugging.
- [Traffic Logs](https://docs.mcpcore.io/observability/traffic-logs.md): A complete record of every HTTP request your MCP server has received — who called what, when, and how fast.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.mcpcore.io/quickstart.md): Deploy your first MCP tool in under 5 minutes.
- [Creating a Server](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/create.md): An MCP server is the container that groups your tools under a single subdomain endpoint.
- [Security Overview](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/security-overview.md): Every MCPCore server has an independent security mode that controls how incoming requests are authenticated.
- [API Key Mode](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/security/api-key.md): Clients authenticate by including a long-lived JWT token in the Authorization header.
- [OAuth 2.0 Mode](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/security/oauth2.md): Protect your server with your own Authorization Server — Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, or any RFC 8414-compliant provider. MCP clients authenticate automatically.
- [Public Mode](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/security/public.md): No authentication required — any caller with the endpoint URL can invoke your tools.
- [Unlisted Mode](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/security/unlisted.md): Access is controlled by a secret key embedded directly in the server URL — no auth headers required.
- [Server Settings](https://docs.mcpcore.io/servers/settings.md): Manage your server's active state, restart it, change its security mode, or delete it.
- [Creating a Tool](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/create.md): A tool is a callable JavaScript function exposed over MCP. Write it yourself or let the AI Tool Builder generate it for you.
- [Code Editor](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/editor.md): A professional VS Code-style code editor built into the MCPCore dashboard — with AI completions, syntax highlighting, and an integrated terminal.
- [Code Examples](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/examples.md): Ready-to-use tool code examples for HTTP requests, database queries, data transformation, and common integration patterns.
- [Parameters](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/parameters.md): Define the typed, validated inputs that the AI passes to your tool at call time.
- [Tool Runtime](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/sandbox.md): Every MCPCore tool runs in an isolated JavaScript runtime with a built-in SDK for HTTP, databases, and utilities.
- [Secrets](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/secrets.md): Store API keys, passwords, and tokens securely. Reference them in code as env.KEY_NAME — never visible in logs or version control.
- [Testing Tools](https://docs.mcpcore.io/tools/testing.md): Run your tools with real parameters from the dashboard's Run panel — no AI client needed.
