Connecting to ValueMapper MCP

Connect your AI tool to ValueMapper using MCP. Choose your preferred AI tool below for specific setup instructions.

Claude Code

Run the following command to add the ValueMapper MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport http valuemapper https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp

You can use the --scope flag for different installation scopes:

  • --scope local (default): Available only to you in the current project
  • --scope project: Shared with your team via .mcp.json file
  • --scope user: Available to you across all projects

Verify the connection with /mcp in Claude Code.

Cursor

Add the following to your MCP settings (Settings → MCP):

{
"mcpServers": {
"valuemapper": {
"url": "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"
}
}
}

For project-level configuration, create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root with the same content.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
"servers": {
"valuemapper": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"
}
}
}

Use Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) to access MCP settings.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Claude Desktop settings
  2. Navigate to the MCP servers section
  3. Add a new server with URL: https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp

Or edit your claude_desktop_config.json directly:

{
"mcpServers": {
"valuemapper": {
"url": "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"
}
}
}

Windsurf

  1. Open Settings (Cmd+, on macOS)
  2. Navigate to MCP configuration
  3. Edit mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"valuemapper": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"
}
}
}

Other Tools

For tools that support MCP, use the following server URL:

https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp

JSON configuration format

Most MCP clients accept this configuration format:

{
"mcpServers": {
"valuemapper": {
"url": "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"
}
}
}

Tools without remote MCP support

If your tool doesn't support remote MCP servers, you can use mcp-remote:

{
"mcpServers": {
"valuemapper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp"]
}
}
}

Troubleshooting

Connection issues

  • Ensure your AI tool supports MCP and is properly configured
  • Check that the server URL is correct: https://mcp.valuemapper.app/mcp
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting in your tool's MCP settings

My tool isn't listed here

If your AI tool supports MCP but isn't listed, try using the generic JSON configuration format above. Most MCP-compatible tools accept similar configuration structures.

Authenticated Access

Some MCP tools require authentication to access account-specific data.

For OAuth flow steps, browser-auth troubleshooting, and manual API token fallback, see MCP Authentication.

Can I run the MCP server myself?

The ValueMapper MCP server is a hosted service only. Self-hosting is not supported.
