Option 1: Remote server (recommended)
Point your client at the hosted server. No install, keyless./sse is the recommended transport. The same server also serves streamable HTTP at https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http for clients that prefer it.
Option 2: Local server (stdio)
Run the server on your machine and have the client launch it:Where to put the config
ThemcpServers shape above is what Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, and Windsurf use. The file location differs per client (for example Windsurf keeps it in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, Cline in its MCP settings pane), so check your client’s MCP docs for the exact path, then paste one of the blocks above.
A few clients use a different shape:
We have step-by-step guides for Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and Codex. For anything else, the config above is all you need.

My client isn't listed. Will it work?
