+Datacore is a standard [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server. It works with any client that speaks MCP v1.0+ over stdio or HTTP -- the AI model behind the client does not matter.

+### Cursor / Windsurf / Other MCP Clients
+
+Most MCP-compatible editors use the same config format. Check your editor's MCP documentation for where to place the server config. The command is always `datacore-mcp`.
