Connecting to coob MCP

Connect your AI tool to coob using MCP — step-by-step for Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, and more

Connecting to coob MCP

Learn how to connect your AI tool to coob using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

This guide walks you through connecting your AI tool to coob using MCP. Once connected, your tool can read and write your courses, steps, plugins, assignments, and bots based on your coob account. You only need to add the server URL; authentication is done automatically via OAuth when you first use a coob tool.

coob MCP server URL:

https://editor.coob.app/mcp

Claude Code

  1. Run in your terminal:

    claude mcp add --transport http coob https://editor.coob.app/mcp

  2. When you first use a coob tool, run /mcp in Claude Code and complete the OAuth flow to connect your coob account.

Scopes: --scope local (default, current project only), --scope project (shared via .mcp.json), or --scope user (all your projects).

Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server.

  2. Paste this configuration:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "url": "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  3. Save and restart Cursor. When you use a coob tool for the first time, complete the OAuth flow to connect your coob account.

Project-level config: To share the coob MCP configuration with your team, create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root with the same mcpServers entry above.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

  1. Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace:

    {
  "servers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run MCP: List Servers.

  3. Start the coob server and complete the OAuth flow when prompted.

User-level config: Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette to add the server for all workspaces.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors.

  2. Click Add Connector and enter:

    https://editor.coob.app/mcp

  3. Complete the OAuth flow to connect your coob account.

Windsurf

  1. Open Windsurf Settings (Cmd+, on Mac) and search for MCP.

  2. Click View raw config to open mcp_config.json.

  3. Add the coob server:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "serverUrl": "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  4. Save and restart Windsurf. Complete the OAuth flow when prompted.

ChatGPT

  1. Go to chatgpt.com → Settings → Connectors (requires login).

  2. Click Add Connector and enter:

    https://editor.coob.app/mcp

  3. Complete the OAuth flow to connect your coob account.

Other tools

If your AI tool supports MCP but isn’t listed above, use the Coob MCP URL in your tool’s MCP configuration:

Transport URL Notes
Streamable HTTP (recommended) https://editor.coob.app/mcp Standard transport, OAuth on first use
SSE (Server-Sent Events) https://editor.coob.app/mcp Same endpoint; server supports both

JSON configuration format

Most MCP clients accept a JSON config. Use the URL only — no API keys or headers. Authentication is handled by OAuth when you first use a Coob tool.

Streamable HTTP (typical):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "url": "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

SSE (if your client requires an explicit type):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

STDIO via mcp-remote (if your tool doesn’t support remote HTTP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coob-editor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://editor.coob.app/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

My tool doesn’t support remote MCP servers
Use the mcp-remote bridge and the STDIO config above so your client talks to a local process that forwards to Coob MCP.

Authentication issues

  • Complete the OAuth flow when your tool prompts you.
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting (e.g. “Clear authentication” or “Disconnect” in your tool’s MCP settings).
  • Ensure you’re logged into Coob in the browser session used for OAuth.

My tool isn’t listed here
Check your tool’s docs for adding a remote MCP server. Most accept a URL or a JSON config like above. Use only the URL https://editor.coob.app/mcp; do not add API keys or Bearer tokens — Coob uses OAuth.
