Which AI clients can use Superlines MCP?
Not every AI assistant supports MCP natively. Per-client picture for Superlines:
| Client | Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Native MCP | Documented client: add the remote server URL with your API key token, or run @superlines/mcp-server locally via npx with SUPERLINES_API_KEY. |
| Claude (Desktop/Web) | Native MCP | Works via the npm package (stdio) with SUPERLINES_API_KEY in the env, or the remote HTTP endpoint. |
| Cursor | Native MCP | Documented client with the same remote URL or npx setup. |
| Windsurf | Native MCP | Listed among supported MCP-compatible agents. |
| n8n | API-only (custom code) | No native node; the Bearer-authenticated API plus webhooks cover workflow automation. |
How to connect Superlines MCP to Claude Desktop
Add this block to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Cursor and Codex use a similar schema.
{
"mcpServers": {
"superlines": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "<YOUR_MCP_URL>"]
}
}
}
// HTTP-transport MCP. Get your <YOUR_MCP_URL> from the vendor dashboard.
// Server source: https://docs.superlines.io/mcp/overview
// Claude Code (one-liner): claude mcp add superlines <YOUR_MCP_URL> --transport httpSome MCP servers require an API key. Check the source page for setup: docs.superlines.io/mcp/overview.
Does Superlines MCP cost extra?
Superlines ships an official MCP server that uses your existing subscription credentials.
- No separate MCP licence to buy. You pay for your Superlines plan, the MCP server queries that account.
- Whether it's gated to a specific tier wasn't extracted automatically — verify the access requirements on the MCP page or pricing docs.
Superlines also publishes a REST API
Superlines publishes an API, but per-tier gating wasn't extracted automatically.
What you can do with Superlines from an AI agent
Three shapes of agent workflow. Pick the row that matches how you actually use Claude / Cursor / Codex day to day.
Skip the dashboard, ask Claude
- "What changed this week?" answered in seconds
- Quick one-off questions without leaving the editor
- Pipe Superlines data into your personal notes / docs without writing a script
Run client analysis at agent speed
- Hand the MCP server to your team — every consultant can ask Claude about any client's Superlines account
- Multi-account workflows without context-switching the Superlines UI
- Reports you'd normally spend hours on, done before standup
Production agent workflows
- Embed in your internal Codex / Cursor agents that triage Superlines data daily
- Combine with other MCP servers in a multi-step agent chain
- Constrain agents to read-only roles to keep production Superlines safe
Limits and gotchas
- Official MCP server — published by Superlines themselves, so it should track product changes.
- Fallback: the REST API works for any flow the MCP server doesn't cover.
- Auth flow: MCP servers usually inherit the underlying API auth method (api-key). Expect to configure that on first install.
- Rate limits: MCP calls count against your underlying Superlines API quota. Burst usage from a curious agent can drain a daily allowance fast.
Agent-readiness verdict
A properly official MCP server with open source code, three deployment options, 27 well-chosen tools and scoped write permissions, included on every plan. Key-in-URL auth on the remote transport and shared plan rate limits are the only demerits: 8 out of 10.
Official MCP server (GitHub Superlines/mcp-server, npm @superlines/mcp-server, remote HTTP at mcpsse.superlines.io) with 27 tools: 21 reads covering metrics, citations, competitive gaps, webpage audits and strategy, plus 6 writes gated behind scoped permissions (write:brands, write:prompts). REST API with Bearer keys and published per-plan rate limits (60/120/300 rpm) on every plan including Starter. Held back from higher: query-param API design with no OpenAPI spec, and the remote MCP passes the API key as a URL token parameter.
