Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ installed
  • Tagada Studio open in your browser (CRM embedded or standalone)
No API key or store ID is needed. The MCP server connects directly to your open Studio editor via WebSocket — it doesn’t call any TagadaPay API.

Setup for Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or in your global Cursor settings):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tagada-studio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@tagadapay/studio-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
That’s it. Cursor will start the MCP server automatically.

Setup for Claude Desktop

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tagada-studio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@tagadapay/studio-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Manual start (any MCP client)

If your tool doesn’t auto-start MCP servers, run it manually:
npx @tagadapay/studio-mcp
The server starts on port 14333 by default and prints the endpoints it’s listening on. Configure your MCP client to connect to the SSE endpoint shown in the output.

Verify the connection

1. Check the MCP server

Visit the /health endpoint in your browser (e.g., http://localhost:14333/health). You should see:
{
  "status": "ok",
  "server": "tagada-studio-mcp",
  "studioConnected": true
}
If studioConnected is false, make sure Tagada Studio is open in your browser.

2. Check Studio

When connected, you’ll see a green Agent badge in the Studio toolbar:
Agent

Your first edit

With both sides connected, ask the agent:
“Show me the page structure”
The agent will call view_tree and display the node hierarchy. Then try:
“Change the main heading to ‘Hello World’”
You’ll see the heading update live on the Studio canvas.

Custom WebSocket URL

By default, Studio connects to the MCP server running on your machine. To use a different URL (e.g., when using a tunnel), add ?agentWs=ws://your-url/ws to the Studio URL.
