# Getting Started

Get your first MCP response in under two minutes.

***

## Prerequisites

* A Luciq account (MCP is available on **all plans**, no extra setup required)
* An MCP-compatible IDE: Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or any MCP client

***

## Step 1: Find Your MCP Settings

MCP server settings live in your Luciq dashboard under **Account Management**.

1. Log in to your [Luciq dashboard](https://dashboard.luciq.ai)
2. Click your **profile avatar** (top-right corner)
3. Select **Account Management**
4. In the left sidebar, click **Luciq MCP**

![Navigate to Account Management > Luciq MCP](https://2991836969-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FCha1KrkvNKPdcC0aGvuB%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b4f62c12877bb06ebab7bbb82e2891c226fba67c%2Fmcp-settings-navigation.gif?alt=media)

From this page you can:

* View integration settings for each supported MCP client
* Generate a personal access token (for token-based auth)
* See your current token and authentication status

***

## Step 2: Connect Your IDE

The **Luciq MCP** page in your dashboard shows setup instructions tailored to each supported client. Select your IDE there to get the exact configuration for your account.

You can also use the server URL directly:

```
https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp
```

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Cursor" %}
Create or edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` with the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luciq": {
      "url": "https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Claude Code" %}
Run the following command in your terminal:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http luciq https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="VS Code" %}
Open Command Palette (**Cmd+Shift+P**) > **MCP: Add Server** > select **HTTP** > paste the server URL:

```
https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Claude Desktop" %}
Copy the configuration below and paste it into your `claude_desktop_config.json` file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "luciq": {
      "url": "https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Other clients" %}
Copy the server URL below and add it to your MCP client settings as a remote MCP server:

```
https://api.luciq.ai/api/mcp
```

Your client will initiate a connection and open an OAuth authorization in your browser. Log in via your Luciq account and grant access.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

For detailed setup instructions, visit the [Setup by IDE](https://docs.luciq.ai/product-guides-and-integrations/product-guides/ai-features/luciq-mcp-server/setup-by-ide) page or check the setup guide on your dashboard's **Luciq MCP** page.

***

## Step 3: Try Your First Query

Once connected, try one of these prompts in your IDE:

{% hint style="success" %}
"List my applications"\
"Show me the top crashes in production this week"\
"What are the most common app hangs?"
{% endhint %}

If you see your apps or crash data, you're connected and ready to go.
