How to connect the MCP server

This guide shows you how to control your Picked workspace from an AI tool that writes code. The server URL is https://api.picked.app/mcp.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector.
  2. Set Name to Picked.
  3. Set URL to https://api.picked.app/mcp.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. Answer the authorization prompt.

Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others

Add .mcp.json to the root of your repository:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "picked": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.picked.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor reads the same content from .cursor/mcp.json.

Two-factor authentication

The authorization prompt signs you in to Picked. If your account must use MFA, the prompt asks for the code from your authenticator app before it connects the tool. Picked staff, and members of an organization that requires MFA, must use it. When an organization turns the requirement on, the tools its members connected before that point do not work. Connect them again to continue.
