Connect Your Assistant

Note: This is mock/placeholder content for demonstration purposes.

SC Sentinel speaks the standard Model Context Protocol over HTTP. Any assistant that supports HTTP MCP servers can connect to it with the same endpoint URL and token you retrieved in the Quickstart.

Generic MCP configuration

Most assistants accept MCP servers as a JSON configuration block. The structure is the same regardless of tool:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sc-sentinel": {
      "url": "https://mcp.sc-demo.xyz/v1/your-account-id",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer scs_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace your-account-id and scs_your_token_here with the values from your dashboard.

Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop)

In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the sc-sentinel block to the mcpServers object in your claude_desktop_config.json.

For the Claude.ai web app, MCP server configuration is under Settings → Integrations (available on Pro and Team plans).

Cursor

Open the Cursor command palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and run Open MCP Configuration. Cursor writes the config to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add the sc-sentinel block to the mcpServers object there.

After saving, restart Cursor. The SC Sentinel tool should appear in the composer's tool list.

GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

In VS Code with the GitHub Copilot extension, open your settings.json and add:

"github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers": {
  "sc-sentinel": {
    "url": "https://mcp.sc-demo.xyz/v1/your-account-id",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer scs_your_token_here"
    }
  }
}

The MCP server will be available in Copilot Chat sessions after VS Code reloads.

Windsurf

Windsurf reads MCP config from ~/.windsurf/mcp.json (created automatically on first launch). Add the sc-sentinel block to the mcpServers object and restart the editor.

Verifying the connection

After adding the config, ask your assistant to call the hello tool from sc-sentinel. It should return the hello response you saw in the Quickstart. If the assistant doesn't list SC Sentinel as an available tool, check that the config file is valid JSON and that you've restarted the editor after saving.
