Connect an AI Coding Agent in 3 Steps

EdgeOrigin includes native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can connect AI coding assistants (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or Gemini) directly to your site workspace.

JSON (claude_desktop_config.json / cursor mcp) Model Context Protocol Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edgeorigin": {
      "url": "https://edgeorigin.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SITE_SCOPED_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

REST API Quick Example

Every site workspace exposes documented REST endpoints for headless integrations, automated build pipelines, and custom backends.

BASH / cURL Fetch Site Context

curl -X POST https://edgeorigin.app/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SITE_SCOPED_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "1",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "site.get_context",
      "arguments": {}
    }
  }'
