​
Common Requirements

All integrations require:
  1. MCP Key - Create one in the ShingleAI dashboard
  2. Node.js 18+ - Required for the mcp-remote bridge
  3. mcp-remote - Automatically installed via npx
The ShingleAI MCP server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport. Most AI tools require mcp-remote to bridge the connection.

​
Quick Start

All integrations follow the same basic pattern: 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "shingleai": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.shingleai.com/sse"],
            "env": {
                "MCP_HEADERS": "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}
The only difference is where this configuration file is stored for each tool.

​
Security Best Practices

Never commit MCP keys to version control or share them publicly.
Recommended approach:
  1. Store your MCP key in an environment variable: 
    export SHINGLEAI_MCP_KEY=mcp_live_abc123...
  2. Reference the variable in your configuration: 
    "MCP_HEADERS": "Authorization: Bearer ${SHINGLEAI_MCP_KEY}"
