Claude Code, Cursor & other clients

Coding tools and other MCP clients connect to the same address as the hosted assistants:

https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp

You can authenticate in two ways:

• Browser sign-in (OAuth). The client opens a PanelWave page, you sign in and choose the permissions. Nothing to copy or store. Use this whenever the client supports it.
• Personal access token. You create a token in PanelWave and put it in the client's configuration as an Authorization header. Use this for scripts, CI jobs and clients without sign-in support. See Access tokens & connected apps.

To work with files on your computer, such as uploading a folder of artwork, use the local bridge instead of the remote address.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http panelwave https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp

claude mcp add --transport http panelwave https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer pw_pat_…"

Add --scope project to share the server with your team through the project's .mcp.json. Never commit a token; use sign-in for shared configurations.

Cursor

Add PanelWave to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panelwave": { "url": "https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp" }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "panelwave": {
      "url": "https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pw_pat_…" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add PanelWave to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace, or run MCP: Add Server from the command palette and choose HTTP:

{
  "servers": {
    "panelwave": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.panelwave.org/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in to PanelWave the first time a tool is used.

Other clients

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP works. PanelWave supports current and older protocol versions, so clients from 2025 on connect too.

• Sign-in: the client finds PanelWave's sign-in automatically. It can register itself, so leave client id and secret fields empty.
• Token: send the header Authorization: Bearer pw_pat_… with every request.

To explore the tools by hand, run the MCP Inspector and connect it to the address above:
