Cursor IDE

Remote server (recommended)

Use the endpoint from Autodesk Product Help MCP Server.

Open the command palette, then go to:

Cursor Settings: Tools & MCP

Click Add Custom MCP and paste the following JSON, then restart Cursor if the server does not appear:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk-product-help": {
      "url": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/knowledge/public/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Remote server (recommended)

Claude Desktop connects to remote MCP servers via mcp-remote (run with npx). Add to your Claude Desktop config file, then restart Claude Desktop (quit completely and relaunch):

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Use the endpoint from Autodesk Product Help MCP Server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk-product-help": {
      "command": "/path/to/npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/knowledge/public/v1/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PATH": "/path/to/npx/parent:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
      }
    }
  }
}

Debugging (macOS)

tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

Claude Code

Remote server (recommended)

Claude Code connects to remote MCP servers over HTTP from the command line. Use the endpoint from Autodesk Product Help MCP Server.

Add the server with the claude mcp add command. Place all flags before the server name:

claude mcp add --transport http autodesk-product-help https://developer.api.autodesk.com/knowledge/public/v1/mcp

By default the server is added at local scope (available in the current project, private to you). To change where the configuration is stored, add a --scope flag before the name:

• --scope user — available to you across all your projects
• --scope project — shared with your team through a .mcp.json file in the project root

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user autodesk-product-help https://developer.api.autodesk.com/knowledge/public/v1/mcp

This is a public server that requires no sign-in, so no API key or headers are needed.

Verify

• Run claude mcp list to confirm the server is connected, or use the /mcp command inside a Claude Code session to view its status and tools.
• Then try: "List available products" or "Search help content for 'install' in Revit 2026."
