# Connect MCP clients to Fimo

> Connect your IDE to Fimo docs through the Model Context Protocol.

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** lets AI tools in your IDE pull trusted context straight from Fimo’s documentation while you work.

<Note>
  Fimo’s MCP server is public and read-only. No authentication is required.
</Note>

## What is the server URL?

[https://docs.fimo.ai/mcp](https://docs.fimo.ai/mcp)

Use **SSE transport** with the URL above.

## What can this integration do?

* **Search** and **retrieve** Fimo docs to ground answers
* **Fetch pages by path** for accurate quoting and citations
* **List resources** exposed by the server so you know what’s available

<Note>
  Exact tool names vary by MCP client. After connecting, ask your assistant to **list resources** to see what this server provides.
</Note>

## How do I connect other MCP clients?

Most clients accept JSON configuration or environment variables.

* **Transport**: `sse`
* **URL**: `https://docs.fimo.ai/mcp`
* **Auth**: none

Example JSON:

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "fimo-docs",
  "transport": { "type": "sse", "url": "https://docs.fimo.ai/mcp" }
}
```

Check your client’s docs for the exact file path and schema.

## What prompts work well?

* `Search Fimo docs for "Edit mode" and give the top 3 matches with links.`
* `Fetch /content/introduction and extract the definition of Collections and Entries.`
* `Find "Billing & Usage" and summarize credits vs bandwidth in 4 bullets.`

<Tip>Ask the assistant to **cite page paths** so you can click through quickly.</Tip>

## Troubleshooting

Nothing appears after connecting? Confirm the transport is sse and the URL matches exactly.

Schema or config errors? Copy the sample JSON for your client above.

Network issues? Some networks block SSE. Try another network or a VPN.
