Run this in a terminal (add --scope user to have it in every project), then check it with claude mcp list.

claude mcp add --transport http boardingarea https://boardingareainsider.com/mcp

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project), then restart Cursor.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "boardingarea": {
      "url": "https://boardingareainsider.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Checked Sep 29, 2026 against Cursor’s documentation.

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste the address. Or add this to .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code uses "servers", with "type" required), then use it from Copilot Chat in Agent mode.

{
  "servers": {
    "boardingarea": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://boardingareainsider.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Checked Sep 29, 2026 against VS Code’s documentation.

Most clients take this shape for a remote server over streamable HTTP. No key or sign-in is needed.

  "mcpServers": {
    "boardingarea": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://boardingareainsider.com/mcp"
