Model Context Protocol (MCP): Connect Cursor, Windsurf & Claude Code

1. Get your MCP Key

To protect your data, the Nuanta MCP server requires authentication using a personal MCP key.

Go to your Nuanta Profile page.
Scroll down to the Developer Settings section.
Click Generate MCP Key.
Copy the generated key immediately (it starts with nua_). You won't be able to view it again.

2. IDE Setup

Cursor

Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nuanta": {
      "url": "https://app.nuanta.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer nua_your_mcp_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

For Windsurf, open the config from the UI by clicking the MCP icon (hammer) in the Cascade toolbar, or edit the file manually at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nuanta": {
      "url": "https://app.nuanta.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer nua_your_mcp_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Antigravity

For Google Antigravity, add the following to your ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nuanta": {
      "serverUrl": "https://app.nuanta.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer nua_your_mcp_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Bolt

For Bolt.new (or Bolt.diy), open your project settings and configure a Custom MCP Connector:

Click the (+) Connectors icon in your chat panel or go to Settings -> Connectors (MCP).
Select Custom MCP server.
Set Server URL to: https://app.nuanta.io/api/mcp
Set Transport Type to: HTTP (SSE)
In the Authentication / Headers section, add: Authorization: Bearer nua_your_mcp_key_here

Claude Code

Claude Code natively supports remote MCP connections. You can connect to Nuanta directly from your terminal:

claude mcp add nuanta https://app.nuanta.io/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer nua_your_mcp_key_here"

3. Useful Scenarios

Once connected, open your IDE's Chat or Composer and try prompting these scenarios:

1. The "Quick Win" Optimizer (Striking Distance)

"Fetch the SEO metrics for my site. Identify my 'striking distance' keywords (ranking 11-20). Cross-reference these with my active articles. If I'm not already targeting them, automatically create new article briefs for the top 3 highest-volume keywords."

2. The Topical Authority Builder

"Get the suggested topic clusters for my site. Find the cluster that best aligns with my core product offering. Generate article briefs for every topic in that cluster, and immediately trigger outline generation to build topical authority."

3. The Brand Voice Enforcer

"Fetch my site's brand profile to understand my target audience and tone. Then, find all active articles currently in the 'OUTLINE' state. Review their outlines against my brand profile and add specific instructions to ensure the final drafts convert."

4. The Pipeline Manager

"Act as my managing editor. Check the status of all active articles. For any in the 'BRIEF' state, trigger outline generation. For any in 'REVIEW', read the text to ensure natural keyword density, and if it looks good, publish it."
