The DevCycle Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is based on the DevCycle CLI, it enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, or general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your DevCycle projects and make changes on your behalf.

Quick Setup​

The DevCycle MCP is hosted so there is no need to set up a local server. We'll walk you through installation and authentication with your preferred AI tools.

Direct Connection: For clients that natively support the MCP specification with OAuth authentication, you can connect directly to our hosted server:

https://mcp.devcycle.com/mcp

Protocol Support: Our MCP server supports both SSE and HTTP Streaming protocols, automatically negotiating the best option based on your client's capabilities.

Alternative Endpoint: If your client has issues with protocol negotiation, use the SSE-only endpoint:

https://mcp.devcycle.com/sse

MCP Registry: If you're using registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, the DevCycle MCP is listed as: com.devcycle/mcp

info

These instructions use the remote DevCycle MCP server. For installation of the local MCP server, see the reference docs.

Configure Your AI Client​

• Cursor
• VS Code
• Claude Code
• Claude Desktop
• Windsurf
• Codex CLI
• Gemini CLI

📦 Install in Cursor

To open Cursor and automatically add the DevCycle MCP, click the install button above. Alternatively, add the following to your ~/.cursor/mcp_settings.json file. To learn more, see the Cursor documentation.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "DevCycle": {
      "url": "https://mcp.devcycle.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authentication in Cursor:

1. After configuration, you'll see DevCycle MCP listed as "Needs login" with a yellow indicator
2. Click on the DevCycle MCP server to initiate the authorization process
3. This opens a browser authorization page at mcp.devcycle.com
4. Review and click "Allow Access" to grant permissions
5. If you have multiple organizations, select your desired organization at auth.devcycle.com
6. You'll be redirected back to Cursor with the server now active
