MCP Integration Guide (Model Context Protocol)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI systems to communicate with external tools using a unified, secure, and scalable interface. It eliminates the need for custom APIs and allows consistent data exchange between your AI and tools.

What is MCP?

MCP acts as a universal adapter between your AI agent and third-party tools, enabling:

  • Secure, standardized data exchange

  • Minimal custom integration

  • Easier scalability across platforms

YourGPT supports native MCP integration, allowing you to access your AI Agent knowledge inside tools such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Setting up MCP Integration in YourGPT

Follow these steps to configure the MCP server inside YourGPT. After that, you can connect it with the supported tools.

Step 1: Go to Integrations

Integrations MCP
  • From your YourGPT dashboard, click Integrations in the left sidebar.
  • Scroll down to find MCP (Model Context Protocol).
  • Click the Configure button.

Step 2: Create MCP Server

Create MCP Server
  • A popup will appear prompting you to create the MCP server.
  • Click on the Create MCP button.

This will generate a new MCP endpoint for your chatbot.

Step 3: Choose Your Target Tool

Choose MCP Tool

After MCP is created, you’ll see usage tabs for:

  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor
  • Windsurf

Each tab shows:

  • The MCP configuration block and a secure bearer token
  • A copy button and the file path where this config needs to be added (per tool)

This configuration allows tools to communicate with your chatbot securely using YourGPT’s MCP server.
