MCP client configuration

This server uses stdio transport. Your MCP client will start it automatically — you do not need to run it in a terminal.

Add the following to your client's MCP config file. The JSON structure is the same across most clients; only the file location differs:

Client	Config file
Cursor	.cursor/mcp.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Claude Desktop	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS)
VS Code	.vscode/mcp.json (with an MCP extension)
Windsurf	.windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "currencytransfer": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<git-repo-clone-location>/mcp-currencytransfer/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "CT_API_KEY": "your-account-id",
        "CT_API_SECRET": "your-api-key",
        "CT_BASE_URL": "https://stage.currencytransfer.com/api/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your MCP client after saving the config. The server should then appear in the client's MCP settings or tool list.
