Every client below talks to the same endpoint and signs in with your Syla account in the browser. No API keys, nothing to paste but the URL.

Cursor

Add to Cursor

Or by hand, in .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "syla": {
      "url": "https://usesyla.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"syla","url":"https://usesyla.app/api/mcp"}'

Any MCP client

Anything that speaks Streamable HTTP works with the standard config shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "syla": {
      "url": "https://usesyla.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

A client that only speaks stdio can bridge with npx mcp-remote https://usesyla.app/api/mcp.
