Any MCP-compatible client that supports remote HTTP servers can connect to Contentsquare. Refer to your tool's documentation for the exact setup steps.

## Add the Contentsquare MCP server

1. Open your AI tool's **MCP configuration** or **settings** panel.
2. Add a new remote MCP server with the URL `https://api.contentsquare.com/mcp`.
3. Set the **transport type** to streamable HTTP, which most clients call `http`. Don't choose SSE, which is a separate, older transport.
4. When prompted, authorize Contentsquare access via the OAuth popup.
5. Choose to grant access to your **entire account** or **select specific projects**, then click **Allow**.

For clients configured with a JSON file, add the server under your client's server key. Many clients use `mcpServers`; VS Code uses `servers`. See the [VS Code](https://docs.contentsquare.com/en/mcp/vscode/) and [Cursor](https://docs.contentsquare.com/en/mcp/cursor/) pages for examples.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contentsquare": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.contentsquare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Next steps

Once connected, ask your AI client a question such as "Which projects do you have access to?" to check the connection. See the [MCP overview](https://docs.contentsquare.com/en/mcp/) for the other supported clients.
