MCP

The FracTEL Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your FracTEL API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The FracTEL MCP server provides AI agents with:

  • Direct API access to FracTEL functionality
  • Documentation search capabilities
  • Real-time data from your FracTEL account
  • Code generation assistance for FracTEL integrations

FracTEL MCP Server Setup

FracTEL hosts a remote MCP server at https://developer.fractel.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fractel": {
      "url": "https://developer.fractel.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about FracTEL - try questions like:
    • "How do I [common use case]?"
    • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
    • "Create a [integration type] using FracTEL"

The AI should now have access to your FracTEL account data and documentation through the MCP server.
