Shortcut MCP Server
Shortcut MCP Server. That is what the mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
See the official Windsurf docs for more information.
command on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Windsurf — See the official Windsurf docs for more informationCursor — See the official Cursor docs for more informationInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverBuild — The Build tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: SHORTCUT_API_TOKEN, YOUR_SHORTCUT_API_TOKEN. 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.
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. MCP's toolset — Windsurf, Cursor, Installation and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by soramash; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
