Connecting to the Metal MCP Server

Metal’s MCP server allows approved AI clients to connect to your Firm’s Metal environment so users can work with the data and actions they already have access to in Metal.

Step 1: Enable MCP for Your Firm

MCP access is controlled at the organization level.

To make the server available to users:

1. Open your Firm’s organization settings in Metal.

2. Locate the MCP server setting.

3. Enable the MCP server for the Firm.

Once this is turned on, users in the organization can connect from supported MCP clients.

Step 2: Connect an MCP Client

After MCP has been enabled for the Firm, users can connect their client with the following server URL:

https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp

Depending on the client, this may be labeled as the MCP server URL, endpoint, or connector URL.

Example Client Setup

Cursor

Add the Metal server to your Cursor MCP configuration:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metal": {
      "url": "https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then open Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP and complete the connection flow if prompted.

Claude Code

Add the Metal MCP server with:

claude mcp add metal --transport http https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and select metal to finish connecting.

Other MCP Clients

If your MCP client supports custom servers, enter:

https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp

You can usually name the connection Metal.

Access and Permissions

Enabling the MCP server makes the connection available to your Firm, but each user will still only be able to access the data and actions already permitted by their Metal account.

In other words, MCP respects existing Metal permissions.

Common Questions

Why can’t I connect yet?

In most cases, MCP has not yet been enabled in the Firm’s organization settings. Check with your Firm org admin first.

Who can turn this on?

Only a Firm org admin can enable MCP access for the organization.

What URL should I use?

Use this endpoint exactly:

https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp

Need Support?

If your Firm has already enabled MCP and you’re still having trouble connecting, reach out to Metal support with:

• the client you’re using

• the URL you entered

• any error message you received
