MCP Server

The Basiq API 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 your Basiq API 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 Basiq API MCP server provides AI agents with:

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

Basiq API MCP Server Setup

Basiq API hosts a remote MCP server at https://api.basiq.io/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.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "basiq": {
      "url": "https://api.basiq.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

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

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