MCP API — Connect Your AI

Live

The Web3 Compliance AI MCP server provides real-time crypto regulatory intelligence directly to your AI assistant via the Model Context Protocol. Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to query compliance data programmatically.

Quick Start — Claude Code

claude mcp add web3-compliance --transport http https://mcp.web3compliance.ai/mcp

Verify with: claude mcp list

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop connects to remote MCP servers through the web interface, not via claude_desktop_config.json.

  1. Visit claude.ai/customize/connectors
  2. Click Add Connector
  3. Enter server URL: https://mcp.web3compliance.ai/mcp
  4. Transport is auto-detected as Streamable HTTP
  5. Save and verify tools appear in the sidebar

Remote servers must be added through the web UI. Configuring remote URLs directly in claude_desktop_config.json will not work.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3-compliance": {
      "url": "https://mcp.web3compliance.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If your Cursor version does not yet support Streamable HTTP natively, use the mcp-remote proxy:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "web3-compliance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.web3compliance.ai/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MCP Inspector — Interactive Testing

The MCP Inspector provides a browser-based UI for testing all tools and resources interactively.

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
  1. Open the browser UI (URL printed in terminal, typically http://localhost:6274)
  2. Select transport: Streamable HTTP
  3. Enter URL: https://mcp.web3compliance.ai/mcp
  4. Click Connect
  5. Use the Tools tab to invoke any of the 7 tools
  6. Use the Resources tab to read any of the 10 resources

For local development:

# Terminal 1: Start local MCP server
cd worker-mcp && npx wrangler dev

# Terminal 2: Launch inspector and connect to http://localhost:8787/mcp
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
