# Advanced API Key Setup

Use this setup if interactive OAuth sign-in is not available, or if you prefer manual API key and header configuration.

In this setup, you provide your Euno API key and connection headers directly in the MCP configuration.

## Cursor Manual Setup

1. Open **Cursor Settings**
2. Go to **Tools & Integrations**
3. Add a new MCP server. In the `mcp.json` file that opens, add:

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "euno-assistant": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://api.app.euno.ai/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "x-api-key": "<API_KEY>",
           "x-account-id": "<ACCOUNT_ID>"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```
4. Replace `<API_KEY>` with your Euno API key and `<ACCOUNT_ID>` with the account this client should use
5. Save the file

If your setup includes a specific persona identifier, add it inside `headers`:

```json
"headers": {
  "x-api-key": "<API_KEY>",
  "x-account-id": "<ACCOUNT_ID>",
  "x-euno-persona": "<PERSONA_ID>"
}
```

## Bridge-Based Manual Setup

If your client uses a local stdio bridge and you also need API-key authentication, pass the same headers through `mcp-remote` instead of adding them directly in Cursor:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "euno-assistant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@0.1.37",
        "https://api.app.euno.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key: <API_KEY>",
        "--header",
        "x-account-id: <ACCOUNT_ID>",
        "--header",
        "x-euno-persona: content_maintainer"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `<API_KEY>` and `<ACCOUNT_ID>` with your details. The `x-euno-persona` header is optional. If you omit it, Euno uses your default persona for the account when one is configured. If you include it, replace `content_maintainer` with a valid persona role name for your account. `content_maintainer` and `contributor` are example values.
