# Other Clients

> Connect another MCP client to the Standard Metrics MCP server

The Standard Metrics MCP Server currently only supports OAuth for authentication, and therefore, any potential MCP clients need to support OAuth to connect to Standard Metrics data. Connecting is simple, just configure your MCP client with the Standard Metrics MCP server URL:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.standardmetrics.io/mcp
```

Setup varies by client. Some clients accept the URL directly, while others use a configuration file. Consult your client's documentation for its remote MCP setup process.

<Warning>
  Standard Metrics does not currently support API key authentication. Your MCP client must support OAuth to connect.
</Warning>

## Cursor example

For example, your [Cursor](https://docs.cursor.com/en/context/mcp) `mcp.json` can contain:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Standard Metrics": {
      "url": "https://mcp.standardmetrics.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

After saving the configuration, connect the server and complete the Standard Metrics authorization flow in your browser.

## Test your connection

Ask your client:

> List my portfolio companies.

If the client returns data from Standard Metrics, your connection is ready. If it does not, see [Troubleshooting](/guides/mcp-troubleshooting).
