Blackbird MCP Server
Connect Blackbird to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Blackbird MCP Server. The blackbird mcp server is what makes that connection.
sh git clone https://github.com/blackbirdai-team/blackbird-mcp-server.git cd blackbird-mcp-server Configuration is passed through the environment: BLACKBIRD_CLIENT_KEY, BLACKBIRD_SECRET_KEY, BLACKBIRD_USERNAME, BLACKBIRD_PASSWORD. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Before you begin, ensure you have: - Blackbird API Credentials - You will need either: - BLACKBIRD_USERNAME and BLACKBIRD_PASSWORD - BLACKBIRD_CLIENT_KEY and BLACKBIRD_SECRET_KEY - Claude Desktop or Cursor - uv - You can verify
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by blackbirdai-team; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
