Standard Metrics Documentation MCP Server

In addition to our primary MCP server that connects clients directly to your Standard Metrics data, we also support a documentation MCP server that gives MCP clients like Cursor direct access to the Standard Metrics API documentation for AI-assisted development.

​
What This Does

This MCP server allows Cursor to directly access Standard Metrics API documentation to:
  • Browse the full API Reference: Access complete endpoint documentation, parameters, and examples
  • Find Code Examples: Retrieve code snippets and cookbook recipes for common use cases from our API cookbook
  • Search Documentation: Find relevant guides, tutorials, and best practices
  • Get Inline Help: Receive contextual assistance while coding with Standard Metrics APIs
  • Explore Features: Discover available endpoints and capabilities

​
Setup Steps for Cursor

​
1. Open Cursor MCP Settings

  1. Open Cursor (must be on a version that supports MCP)
  2. Use Command + Shift + P (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows) to open the command palette
  3. Search for “Open MCP settings”
  4. Select Add custom MCP. This will open the mcp.json file

​
2. Configure the MCP Server

In mcp.json, configure your server: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "standardmetrics": {
      "url": "https://docs.standardmetrics.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

​
3. Restart Cursor

Close and reopen Cursor to establish the connection with the Standard Metrics documentation MCP server.

​
4. Test the Connection

Try asking questions like:
  • “How does the Standard Metrics GET /companies endpoint work?”
  • “Write me code in a new Python file from the API cookbooks using Standard Metrics’ docs”
  • “What are the authentication requirements for the Standard Metrics API?”
  • “Show me examples of creating a company using the API”
