Client Setup

Connection snippets for common AI tools.

MCP clients vary by version. Use the remote URL when supported; use the mcp-remote command when the client expects a local stdio server.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Claude Desktop settings and find the developer MCP configuration file.
  2. Add the Root Data server JSON below under mcpServers.
  3. Restart Claude Desktop, then ask Claude to use the Root Data MCP tools.

Claude Desktop config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "root-data-public": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://rootdata.ai/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

  1. Open Cursor settings and go to MCP servers.
  2. Use the remote URL config if your Cursor version supports remote MCP servers.
  3. Use the mcp-remote stdio config if your client expects a command-based MCP server.

Cursor remote config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "root-data-public": {
      "url": "https://rootdata.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor stdio fallback

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "root-data-public": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://rootdata.ai/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Secured MCP options

Private practice and DSO data is next.

We are working on a secured MCP service for private practice and DSO data, so teams can connect Root Data to their favorite model, agent, and preferred workflow with authentication, tenant boundaries, and role-based access.

Ask us about secure deployment options, approved data scopes, and how your AI workflows could use Root Data context without exposing private customer data through the public endpoint.
