01 · Install Contentrain

Claude Code

claude mcp add contentrain-ai --transport http https://studio.contentrain.io/api/mcp/v1/{project_id}/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contentrain-ai": {
      "url": "https://studio.contentrain.io/api/mcp/v1/{project_id}/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @contentrain/mcp - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@contentrain)

registry namespace io.github.Contentrain is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
