Connect to the Beefree SDK Docs MCP Server

Learn how to connect to the Beefree SDK Docs MCP Server in your IDE or favorite tools.

Introduction

The Beefree SDK Docs MCP server exposes all the published tools and resources from our technical documentation. By connecting your IDE or assistant to this MCP server, you can:

Ask questions in natural language directly from your IDE.
Generate code snippets that are grounded in the Beefree SDK documentation.
Speed up SDK integration by letting AI assistants pull accurate details (parameters, endpoints, setup steps) straight from the docs.
Reduce context-switching—no more bouncing between browser tabs and your editor.

Overall, connecting the MCP server means you can build faster with Beefree SDK. It is useful in workflows that leverage AI-generated code based on the official Beefree SDK technical documentation.

Beefree SDK's MCP server URL is the following:

https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp

Important: Opening this in a browser shows an error—that’s expected. It’s for MCP clients only.

Tool-by-Tool Setup

This section lists the most popular IDEs and tools for AI-assisted development workflows. For each tool, there are corresponding steps and code snippets on how you can connect to the Beefree SDK technical documentation MCP server using that tool.

Cursor

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server in Cursor.

Steps:

Open Settings → Features → MCP → + Add New MCP Server.
Choose SSE as the transport.
Paste the server URL and save.
If needed, edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json or project-level .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beefree-docs": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor and confirm tools appear under “beefree-docs.”

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server in VS Code using GitHub Copilot.

Steps:

In your workspace, create .vscode/mcp.json (or configure globally via MCP: Open User Configuration).
Add the server:

{
  "servers": {
    "beefree-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If HTTP doesn’t connect, change "type": "sse".
Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette if needed.

Claude (Desktop & Web)

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server using Claude.

Steps:

Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors (or Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors).
Click Add remote MCP server.

Paste the server URL:

https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp

Save, then enable the tools in a chat.

Continue (VS Code / JetBrains)

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server using Continue.

Steps (Option A – global):

Open ~/.continue/config.yaml.
Add:

mcpServers:
  - name: beefree-docs
    type: sse
    url: https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp

Steps (Option B – per-workspace):

Create .continue/mcpServers/beefree-docs.yaml.
Paste:

name: Beefree Docs
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1
mcpServers:
  - name: beefree-docs
    type: sse
    url: https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp

Restart Continue and select the Beefree Docs tools in Agent mode.

Cline (VS Code Extension)

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server using Cline

Steps:

Open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure MCP Servers.
Add this JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beefree-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp",
      "disabled": false,
      "alwaysAllow": []
    }
  }
}

For private docs, include headers:

"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }

Zed

This section lists the steps for connecting to the Beefree SDK tech docs MCP server using Zed.

Steps:

Install a proxy to bridge SSE/HTTP to stdio:
```
pipx install mcp-proxy
```
Open settings.json in Zed.
Add:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "beefree-docs": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "mcp-proxy",
      "args": [
        "https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/~gitbook/mcp",
        "--transport=streamablehttp"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Restart Zed and confirm the tools are visible.

Quick Verification

Once connected, test with a prompt like:

“Generate a code snippet to authenticate with the Beefree SDK.”

Your IDE’s agent will pull instructions from the Beefree SDK docs and produce an AI-generated snippet aligned with the official documentation.

Troubleshooting

No tools appear / “client closed” → Restart your editor and reopen the MCP view.
VS Code transport issues → Use "http" first, fallback to "sse".
Zed → Must use a proxy (mcp-proxy) to connect.
