How can we help you?

Getting Started

Stark's MCP server is available over streamable HTTP at https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp

Follow the directions below based on what you're using. After setup, you can simply ask questions about your Stark data such as "What's the status of my projects in Stark?"

Claude

Claude connects to Stark directly as a custom connector — no config files required.

Pro and Max plans:

1. Open Claude (desktop or web) and go to Settings > Connectors
2. In the Connectors section, click Add custom connector
3. Enter the name Stark and the URL https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp
4. Click Add, then click Connect and sign in to Stark when prompted
5. Confirm Stark's tools are available by clicking the Search and tools button below the chat textbox

Team and Enterprise plans:

A Primary Owner or Owner needs to add the connector for the organization first:

1. Go to Settings > Connectors and toggle to Organization connectors
2. Click Add custom connector, enter the name Stark and the URL https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp, then click Add
3. Each team member then finds Stark in their connectors list and clicks Connect to authenticate individually

Alternative — Claude desktop config file (local/stdio):

If you prefer to manage servers through the config file, you can still use the mcp-remote bridge:

1. Open the Claude desktop app
2. Go to Claude > Settings > Developer
3. Click the Edit Config button
4. Paste the following into the claude_desktop_config.json file that is shown:
   

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "stark": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp"]
       }
     }
   }

5. Restart the Claude desktop app

Cursor

Install directly in Cursor using this link or from the Cursor page using this link.

You can also add Stark manually:

1. Open Cursor Settings and go to Tools & MCP
2. Click New MCP Server (this opens your mcp.json)
3. Add the following:
   

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "stark": {
         "url": "https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

4. Save the file — Cursor will connect and prompt you to sign in to Stark if needed

Visual Studio Code

1. Open the command palette using the keyboard shortcut ctrl/cmd + shift + p
2. In the textbox, search for MCP: Add Server
3. Choose HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events) from the options
4. Enter the server URL: https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp
5. Type the name Stark and choose where to save the config (Global or Workspace)
6. Reopen the command palette and type MCP: List Servers
7. Select Stark and then select Start Server — sign in to Stark if prompted

OpenAI Codex

Codex can connect to Stark from both the CLI and the IDE extension (they share the same configuration).

Using the Codex CLI:

1. Make sure you have the Codex CLI installed and are signed in
2. Add the Stark server by running:
   

   codex mcp add stark --url https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp

3. If prompted to authenticate, sign in to Stark by running:
   

   codex mcp login stark

4. Confirm the server is configured:
   

   codex mcp list

5. In a Codex session, type /mcp to view Stark's available tools

Editing the config directly:

You can also add Stark by editing ~/.codex/config.toml (or a project-scoped .codex/config.toml in a trusted project) and adding:

[mcp_servers.stark]
url = "https://mcp.getstark.ai/mcp"
