MCP discovery manifest for Claude Desktop and Cursor

The standard MCP well-known endpoint. Returns server name, capabilities, and tool list so Claude Desktop, Cursor, and every MCP client auto-configure.

This is the entire distribution mechanism for the product. Point any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agent framework) at the gateway URL and it fetches this manifest to learn every tool available. No manual wiring, no per-tool JSON schemas to paste in a config. Public endpoint, no API key required.

Why agents use this

• Auto-discovery is the MCP promise. Users type a URL, tools appear. That’s it.
• One endpoint, whole product. As you add tools to the server, they show up in every connected client on the next reload.
• Registry crawlers hit this. Smithery, mcp.so, and PulseMCP index MCP servers by fetching this manifest.
• Verify MCP compliance. Curl the endpoint before submitting to a registry to confirm the shape is right.

Use cases

• Add to Claude Desktop in 2 lines of config. Users edit claude_desktop_config.json, restart, and get every Solana tool.
• Cursor for Solana development. AI-assisted coding sessions with live on-chain lookups baked in.
• Custom agent framework (Eliza, Rig, ai16z) integration. Framework fetches the manifest, wires tools into the agent’s tool loop.
• MCP registry submission. Point Smithery, mcp.so, or PulseMCP at your gateway URL; they crawl the manifest and list you.
• Client compatibility check. Third-party MCP clients validate the manifest shape here before showing your server as usable.

Recipe: Claude Desktop configuration

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.

macOS / Linux

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solana-ai-gateway": {
      "url": "https://solana-pulse-gateway-1021990235790.us-central1.run.app"
    }
  }
}

The config lives at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

This is the whole marketing engine. Every MCP registry submission and every Claude Desktop config paste is a lead that pays per call. Get this manifest polished and submit to registries early. See MCP Integration for the full setup + registry list.
