# Integrate a remote Infobip MCP server with an MCP Client

[MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to AI models​. The [Infobip MCP server](https://www.infobip.com/mcp/) allows LLMs to use Infobip CPaaS Platform tools.

This tutorial will show you how to integrate the Infobip MCP server with an MCP Client, like [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/en) or [Claude desktop](https://claude.ai/download) to use it with Infobip APIs.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

- Python version 3.13 upwards and `uvx` installed.
- [Infobip account](https://portal.infobip.com/login/?callback=https%3A%2F%2Fportal.infobip.com%2F). If you do not have one create a [free trial account](https://www.infobip.com/signup).
- Infobip API key with the correct scope, e.g. for Viber use `viber-bm:message:send`. Find out more about scopes in [API Authorization](https://www.infobip.com/docs/essentials/api-essentials/api-authorization).
- An MCP Client, e.g. Cursor or Claude Desktop.

## Cursor MCP Integration [#cursor-mcp-integration-steps]

__Skip this section if integrating with Claude Desktop (see the section below).__

1. Open __Cursor__ and navigate to __Cursor Settings__.
2. On the left-hand side, click __MCP__.
3. Click the __+Add new global MCP server__ button.
4. Populate the `mcp.json` connection to a remote MCP server with the Infobip MCP server settings (see section below).
5. Make sure that MCP server is enabled and you see list of tools
6. Use Chat to initiate Infobip APIs.

## Claude Desktop MCP Integration [#claude-desktop-mcp-integration-steps]

1. Open __Claude Desktop__ and navigate to __Settings__.
2. Use the __Developer__ tab to click the __Edit config__ button. This will show you the location of the `claude_desktop_config.json` file in your file system. You'll use the file to add the Infobip MCP server settings.
3. Access the `claude_desktop_config.json` file and populate with the connection settings to the Infobip MCP server (see section below).
4. Restart __Claude desktop__.
5. Use Chat to initiate Infobip APIs.

## Infobip MCP Server settings [#infobip-mcp-server-settings]

Each Infobip API endpoint is served as a separate MCP server to narrow down the context for the AI agent in use. As such, you need to add each endpoint aka server separately, as seen below.

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "ib-viber": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "mcp-proxy",
                "https://mcp.infobip.com/viber/sse"
            ],
            "env": {
                "API_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your api here infobip key>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

For the list of all supported MCP endpoints, check out the [Infobip MCP documentation](https://www.infobip.com/mcp/).
