Claude (web and desktop app)

Free plans can add one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it under Organization settings › Connectors.

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http tangerine-index https://tangerineindex.com/mcp

Add --scope user to use it in every project. Check the connection with claude mcp list, or /mcp inside Claude Code.

Or share it with your team in .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tangerine-index": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tangerineindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Keep "type": "http". Without it, the entry is read as a local (stdio) server and won't connect.

Cursor

Opens Cursor. If nothing happens, add the JSON below by hand.

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tangerine-index": {
      "url": "https://tangerineindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Turn it on or off from Customize in the sidebar.

VS Code

Opens VS Code. If nothing happens, use one of the steps below.

Or open the Command Palette, run “MCP: Add Server”, choose “HTTP”, paste the URL above, name it tangerine-index, and choose “Global”.

Or add it to mcp.json in your user profile:

{
  "servers": {
    "tangerine-index": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tangerineindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses "servers", not "mcpServers". AI features must be turned on.

You can ask in any language. The search itself works best in English.
