Dappier MCP Server lets you access real-time web data and premium AI-powered content through a lightweight MCP interface. By running a local MCP server, you can feed live data from Dappier into your AI agents and apps, enabling fast searches, up-to-the-minute market insights, and curated recommendations across sports, lifestyle, and more.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the Dappier MCP Server by running a local stdio-based MCP process and pointing your client to the handler. The key requirement you’ll see in practice is supplying your DAPPIER_API_KEY so the server can access data from Dappier. Once running, your client can request real-time data feeds, market insights, and AI-powered recommendations that are built to be combined into agents, dashboards, or automated workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need a runtime to execute the MCP server. The Dappier MCP Server is used as a local stdio server.

Install the runtime (uv) if you have not already installed it.

MacOS/Linux users:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows users:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Optionally, you can install the MCP via Smithery to integrate with Claude Desktop.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @DappierAI/dappier-mcp --client claude

Configuration for the MCP server

The MCP server runs as a local stdio process. Use the following configuration snippet to start the server and pass your API key. This example uses uvx and the dappier-mcp binary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dappier": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dappier-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DAPPIER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Starting the server in Claude Desktop

Update your Claude Desktop configuration file to point at the MCP server. The following configuration uses uvx to run the dappier-mcp server and passes your API key.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dappier": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dappier-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DAPPIER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Starting the server in Cursor

If you use Cursor, place the same MCP snippet in your global mcp.json configuration so the client can connect to the Dappier MCP Server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dappier": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dappier-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DAPPIER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Starting the server in Windsurf

If you configure Windsurf, add the same MCP configuration to the Windsurf mcp_config.json so your app can request Dappier data.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dappier": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dappier-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DAPPIER_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Debugging the MCP server

If you need to inspect or debug the MCP server, run the MCP inspector with the following command, replacing the runtime and server name as needed.

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx dappier-mcp
