MCP Server Setup
Shortcuts Toolbox includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes your shortcuts as tools to any MCP-compatible AI client, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Connecting a Client
You don’t need to hand-write any config — Shortcuts Toolbox generates it for you, complete with your auth token. In the app, go to Settings → AI → MCP Server, where you’ll find:
- Your server URL and a one-click Copy for a ready-to-paste configuration
- Step-by-step setup for Claude Desktop (which connects via
npx mcp-remoteusing your token), Cursor, TypingMind, and the Claude mobile app
The generated config includes your personal auth token, so copy it from the app rather than building it by hand. Once connected, your client gets every tool listed on Available MCP Tools — and if you’ve wired up external servers via the MCP Client, those tools come through the same endpoint too.
