Claude Code, Cursor and Codex

Coding tools send an API key with every request. Create one in the Typetone app under Settings → MCP & API: that page also generates these commands with your key filled in.

Install

claude mcp add --transport http typetone https://api.app.typetone.ai/mcp/ \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $TYPETONE_API_KEY"

{
"mcpServers": {
  "typetone": {
    "url": "https://api.app.typetone.ai/mcp/",
    "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
  }
}
}

codex mcp add typetone --url https://api.app.typetone.ai/mcp/ --bearer-token $TYPETONE_API_KEY

gemini mcp add --transport http typetone https://api.app.typetone.ai/mcp/ \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $TYPETONE_API_KEY"

• Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI: run the command in your terminal, then restart the tool.
• Cursor: add the JSON to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project) and reload Cursor.

Check that it works

Ask: “Which Typetone tools do you have?” The assistant should list tools such as check_content and list_audits.

Good to know

• Actions taken with an API key are recorded for the workspace, not for a person. For reviewing audits, connect with your own account where your tool supports it.
• Keep the key out of shared config files. Most tools read environment variables; commit the config without the key.
