MCP IDE Integration

This guide shows how to connect IDEs and agents to the LanOnasis MCP server.

Options​

  • Remote: https://mcp.lanonasis.com (recommended for most)
  • Local (development): @lanonasis/cli mcp start then point your IDE to the local endpoint

Authentication​

  • Obtain a token using Central Auth Gateway via Device Flow for headless or PKCE in browser.
  • Configure the IDE/agent to send the bearer token with all requests.

Example configurations​

VSCode/Cursor​

Add an MCP provider entry pointing to mcp.lanonasis.com and supply your token via the IDE’s secrets mechanism or environment.

Windsurf​

Use the remote URL and a bearer token acquired via Device Flow. For local testing, start the CLI server and point Windsurf to the local URL.

Choosing local vs remote​

  • Use remote for stable workflows, team sharing, and production reliability.
  • Use local for development or when testing new tools/features without affecting shared environments.
