AI Assistants and MCP

If you are building against Shuttle with an AI coding assistant, point it at this site. That is enough for most people and takes a minute.

Point your assistant at the docs

This site publishes llms.txt, an index of every page in the format assistants look for, and every page has a markdown version — append .md to any documentation URL.

Give your assistant this:

Read https://docs.shuttleglobal.com/llms.txt and use it to answer questions
about Shuttle. Start with Core Concepts, then Business Rules for exactly what
an operation accepts, refuses and changes.

Business Rules is the page that stops an assistant guessing: it states what Shuttle refuses and why, not just what a successful request looks like. Confirm anything that moves money against it before you ship.

Or use the MCP server

Shuttle hosts a Model Context Protocol server at https://docs.shuttleglobal.com/mcp. Use it when you want your assistant to call the Shuttle API and read your own account's data, rather than only read the documentation.

Point your tool at that URL. In Cursor that is ~/.cursor/mcp.json, in Windsurf ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, and in Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shuttleglobal": {
      "url": "https://docs.shuttleglobal.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If your APIs require authentication, pass headers however your MCP client configures them.
