⚙️ Configuration

This MCP server requires a Dub.co API key to function. You can get your API key from the Dub.co dashboard.

Set the API key as an environment variable:

export DUBCO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

For persistent configuration, add this to your shell profile (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc):

echo 'export DUBCO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here' >> ~/.zshrc

🖥️ Cursor IDE Setup

Cursor IDE provides native support for MCP servers. Follow these steps to set up the dubco-mcp-server in Cursor:

Step 1: Install Cursor IDE

If you haven't already, download and install Cursor IDE (version 0.4.5.9 or later).

Step 2: Open Cursor Settings

1. Open Cursor IDE
2. Click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner, or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+, (Mac) or Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux)
3. Navigate to the Features section
4. Scroll down to find the "MCP Servers" section

Step 3: Add the MCP Server

1. Click on "+ Add new MCP server"
2. In the dialog that appears:
   • Name: Enter "Dub.co MCP Server" (or any name you prefer)
   • Type: Select "command" from the dropdown
   • Command: Enter env DUBCO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here npx -y dubco-mcp-server (Replace your_api_key_here with your actual Dub.co API key)
3. Click "Save" to add the server

Step 4: Verify the Connection

After adding the MCP server, you should see a green status indicator next to the server name. If it shows a red or yellow status, try:

1. Checking that your API key is correct
2. Restarting Cursor IDE
3. Verifying that Node.js (16.0.0+) is properly installed

Step 5: Using the Server

The dubco-mcp-server provides tools that can be used with Cursor's AI features:

1. Open Cursor's Composer or Agent mode (MCP only works in these modes)
2. Explicitly instruct the AI to use the Dub.co tools (create_link, update_link, delete_link)
3. Accept the tool usage prompts when they appear

🔧 Usage with MCP

This server provides tools that can be used by AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol. To use it with an MCP-compatible AI assistant, add it to your MCP configuration.
