# Seam MCP Server

The Seam MCP server gives your AI coding assistant direct access to the entire Seam documentation. It can search docs semantically, fetch full pages, and browse the doc tree — so your assistant always has accurate, up-to-date context about the Seam API.

{% hint style="success" %}
**No API keys or authentication required.** The server is free and public — just add the URL and start coding.
{% endhint %}

## Server URL

```
https://mcp.seam.co/mcp
```

Use this URL in any MCP-compatible client. Editor-specific instructions are below.

## One-Click Install

[**Install in Cursor**](cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=seam\&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5zZWFtLmNvL21jcCJ9)

For other editors, follow the manual setup below.

## Try It Out

After setup, try asking your AI assistant:

* "How do I create an API key in Seam?"
* "Show me how to unlock a door with the Seam API"
* "What access control systems does Seam support?"

## Troubleshooting

* **Tools not showing up?** Restart your editor or reload the window after adding the MCP configuration.
* **Connection errors?** Make sure you're using `https://mcp.seam.co/mcp` — the `/mcp` path is required.
* **Slow first response?** The first query may take a few seconds while the server warms up. Subsequent queries are fast.
