MCP Integration Guide

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools directly. Flash implements an MCP server so you can manage stores, members, coupons, and points from within Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Instead of writing code, you simply ask the AI: "List all active stores" or"Award 500 points to member m_abc123" and the assistant calls the Flash MCP tool on your behalf.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop MCP settings (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flash": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "flash_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor Configuration

In Cursor, go to Settings > MCP and add a new server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flash": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "flash_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
