How To Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to Your Tricknowtech Account via MCP

Step 1 — Generate an API token

The Tricknowtech MCP server authenticates using a personal API token tied to your account — this is what lets your AI assistant act as you.

• Log in to your Tricknowtech dashboard.
• Go to Profile → API Tokens (or navigate directly to /dashboard/profile?tab=tokens).
• Click "Go to API Tokens" and generate a new token.
• Copy the token immediately — it's shown only once.

Step 2 — Note the MCP server URL

The Tricknowtech MCP server runs in HTTP mode at a single fixed URL, the same one for every customer — only the bearer token in your config differs.

https://mcp.tricknow.tech/mcp

Step 3 — Configure your client

Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config file — on macOS this is ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, on Windows it's %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json — and add the tricknowtech server entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tricknowtech": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TRICKNOWTECH_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE with the token from Step 1, and /path/to/mcp with the actual path to the MCP server package. Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Cursor

In Cursor, go to Settings → Features → MCP Servers, and add the server using the HTTP URL from Step 2 with your token as a Bearer header:

{
  "name": "Tricknowtech",
  "url": "https://mcp.tricknow.tech/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
  }
}
