MCP

The Pinpoint Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Pinpoint API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Pinpoint MCP server provides AI agents with:

Direct API access to Pinpoint functionality
Documentation search capabilities
Real-time data from your Pinpoint account
Code generation assistance for Pinpoint integrations

Pinpoint MCP Server Setup

Pinpoint hosts a remote MCP server at https://developers.pinpointhq.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pinpointhq": {
      "url": "https://developers.pinpointhq.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

Open your AI editor/CLI (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude etc.)
Start a new chat with the AI assistant
Ask about Pinpoint - try questions like:
- "How do I create a new application?"
- "Show me an example of custom fields creation"
- "Create an assessment integration using Pinpoint"

The AI should now have access to your Pinpoint account data and documentation through the MCP server.
