MCP

The Zeal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with the Zeal API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Zeal MCP server provides AI agents with:

• Direct API access to Zeal functionality
• Documentation search capabilities
• Real-time data from your Zeal account
• Code generation assistance for Zeal integrations

Zeal MCP Server Setup

Zeal hosts a remote MCP server at https://docs.zeal.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zeal-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.zeal.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
3. Ask about Zeal - try questions like:
   • "How do I [common use case]?"
   • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
   • "Create a [integration type] using Zeal"

The AI should now have access to your Zeal account data and documentation through the MCP server.
