The server is currently reachable at the staging URL
https://veil-mcp-staging-193185291080.us-east4.run.app/mcp. A permanent custom domain is coming in a later phase.Claude Desktop
Open the connectors panel
In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Integrations (or the MCP / connectors panel in your version). Click Add server or the + button.
Authorize
Claude Desktop prompts you for your email and a one-time code. Enter your email, wait for the code in your inbox, and verify. The connector becomes active.
Cursor
Open MCP settings
In Cursor, go to Settings → MCP (or open
.cursor/mcp.json directly in your project).Add the server entry
Add an entry pointing to the Veil MCP URL:Save the file. Cursor picks up the change without a restart.
Authorize
When you next use a Veil tool in a Cursor conversation, Cursor prompts you to authorize. Enter your email, wait for the one-time code, and verify.
What happens during authorization
Connecting Veil takes one click — no manual client-ID setup. About once a week your client will prompt you to re-authorize; the prompt takes about 30 seconds.No credential, token, or banking detail is ever returned in a tool result. The MCP server only exposes safe summaries — masked account suffixes, display names, and status strings.
