Live results from CodeTrendy for this exact call, in the server's order. The assistant's wording is an example.

Connect in one step

Pick your client. Every setup points at the same URL, and none of them needs a key.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http codetrendy https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp

Run the command in your terminal. Add --scope user to have it in every project.
Start Claude Code and ask something like "find alternatives to Notion on CodeTrendy".

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codetrendy": {
      "url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one. Merge with any servers already there.
Cursor lists the CodeTrendy tools under Settings, MCP. Ask in Agent mode.

Add to Cursor

claude.ai and Claude Desktop

https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp

Open Customize > Connectors (Settings > Connectors in older versions), click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
Name it CodeTrendy, paste the URL, leave the OAuth fields under Advanced settings empty, and click Add.
The Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an Owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "codetrendy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project. The top-level key is "servers", not "mcpServers".
Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and enable the CodeTrendy tools in the tools picker.

Install in VS Code

Settings, Apps

https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp

In Settings, Apps, Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode.
Create an app named CodeTrendy, paste the URL and choose no authentication.
On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin has to allow developer mode first.

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codetrendy": {
      "serverUrl": "https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open the Cascade MCP settings and edit mcp_config.json, then paste the server in.
Refresh the MCP server list. The tools show up in Cascade.

Streamable HTTP, no auth

curl -s -X POST https://codetrendy.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP can use the URL as is. No headers, no key.
The command above lists the tools, so you can check the server answers before you wire it in.
