MCP quickstart

1. Get an API key

Grab an API key from the Easy Labs dashboard. Use a sandbox key while you're testing; switch to production once you trust the wiring.

2. Add the server to Claude Desktop

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows). Add an entry under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easy-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@easylabs/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "EASY_API_KEY": "your_easy_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The hammer icon in the chat input should now show easy-labs with its tools listed.

3. Try it

In a new Claude conversation:

"Show me my last 10 transfers."

Claude calls list_transfers, formats the response, and shows it to you. No HTTP, no raw JSON, no glue code.

Configuration

The defaults work for most setups. To customize:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easy-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@easylabs/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "EASY_API_KEY": "your_easy_api_key",
        "EASY_API_URL": "https://api.easy.co/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

See Configuration for HTTP transport, custom ports, and the full env reference.

Other MCP clients

The same server works with any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Continue, custom agents). Point your client at npx -y @easylabs/mcp-server over stdio, or run the HTTP transport and connect to http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp.
