Connect Beacon to Code Editors

Most code editors with MCP support accept server configuration in one of two formats: an HTTP URL or a JSON configuration block. Beacon supports HTTP connections.

Server URL

If your editor has an “Add MCP server” dialog that accepts a URL directly, use:

https://beacon.sirenaffiliates.com/beacon/v1/mcp

HTTP JSON configuration

If your editor expects a JSON configuration block (common in settings files), use:

{
  "beacon": {
    "type": "url",
    "url": "https://beacon.sirenaffiliates.com/beacon/v1/mcp"
  }
}

Where this JSON goes depends on the editor. Some use a dedicated MCP settings panel, others expect it in a project or user settings file.

Editor-specific documentation

Each editor handles MCP configuration differently. Refer to the vendor documentation for where to add the configuration:

• VS Code (Claude Code extension): Claude Code documentation
• JetBrains IDEs (AI Assistant plugin): Settings > Tools > AI Assistant > Model Context Protocol
• Cursor: Cursor MCP documentation

The configuration above works with any editor that supports MCP over HTTP.
