Install

Claude Code

Add the remote server from the terminal. In a project .mcp.json, "type": "http" is required. An entry with a URL and no type is read as stdio and skipped.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http swiftskills https://swiftskills.dev/mcp

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiftskills": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://swiftskills.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json for one project. A url is a remote server.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiftskills": {
      "url": "https://swiftskills.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

A url in ~/.codex/config.toml means Streamable HTTP. The CLI writes the same entry.

config.toml

[mcp_servers.swiftskills]
url = "https://swiftskills.dev/mcp"

Terminal

codex mcp add swiftskills --url https://swiftskills.dev/mcp

Rate limit

Each running instance accepts 60 requests per minute. The next request in that window gets HTTP 429 and a Retry-After header. The count stays in that instance's memory. A new instance starts at zero. The limit belongs to that instance.
