# STDIO MCP Server Configuration

The following section describes the steps required to configure the IZ STDIO MCP server in various IDEs.

### Visual Studio Code

* Open the preferences and search for MCP
* Click on **`Add Server`** -> **`Command (stdio)`**
* Enter the command (Eg: npx) and name as **`iz-scan-mcp-server`**
* A mcp.json file with the entered details will be opened
* Add the following arguments **`accesstoken`**, **`serverurl`**.
* To generate a token, refer token generation
* The final configuration should look something like

```json
"iz-scan-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
        "-y",
        "--registry=https://npm.integralzone.com",
        "iz-scan-mcp",
        "--accesstoken",
        "<Token Generated from IZ Suite>",
        "--serverurl",
        "<http(s)://YOUR_HOST_NAME>"
    ],
    "type": "stdio"
}
```

### Cursor IDE

* Open the preferences and search for MCP
* Click on **`View: Open MCP Settings`**
* In the settings screen click on **`New MCP Server`** and add the below configuration:

```json
    "iz-scan-cli-mcp-server": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": [
            "-y",
            "--registry=https://npm.integralzone.com",
            "iz-scan-mcp",
            "--accesstoken",
            "<Token Generated from IZ Suite>",
            "--serverurl",
            "<http(s)://YOUR_HOST_NAME>"
        ]
    }
```

* To generate a token, refer token generation
* Save the mcp.json file.
* Navigate back to Cursor Settings tab and toggle the enable switch. <br>

        "args": [
            "-y",
            "--registry=https://npm.integralzone.com",
            "iz-scan-mcp",
            "--accesstoken",
            "&lt;Token Generated from IZ Suite>",
            "--serverurl",
            "&lt;http(s)://YOUR_HOST_NAME>"
        ]

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/integral-zone/iz-suite/iz-core/mcp-server/stdio-mcp-server-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
