Setup

Overview

New to the MCP servers? Start with the overview.

We provide three public MCP servers for AI-assisted development:

Server	Name	Description	URL
SDK Docs	`CameraRemoteSDK`	Camera Remote SDK documentation, API references, and code examples (C++/C#)	`https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp`
Help Guides	`CameraHelp`	Camera help guides, settings, and feature documentation for 24 Sony camera models	`https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp`
Web API Docs	`CameraWebAPI`	Alpha Camera REST API docs, endpoint reference, request/response formats, and client SDK guidance	`https://crsdk.app/mcp`

All three servers are compatible with Anthropic’s LLMs (claude.ai, Claude Mobile, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code) as well as other AI-powered IDEs like Cursor. You can install any combination of them.

These tools are still in Private Beta. Please do not share the MCP server URLs with others.

Setup Instructions

Claude
Claude Code
Cursor

Requirements

Claude Pro, Max, or Enterprise account (starting at $20/month)

If you intend to use both claude.ai and Claude Code, you must set up each application separately. MCP servers are not shared between them.

Configuration Steps

Repeat these steps for each MCP server you want to install:

Add the Connector
- Go to Settings → Connectors
- Click Add custom connector
- Name it using the server name from the table above (e.g. CameraRemoteSDK, CameraHelp, or CameraWebAPI)
- Paste the corresponding MCP Server URL into the “Remote MCP server URL” field
- Click Add
- Refresh if needed — you should now see your new connector
Configure Tools Each server provides specialized search tools. Your AI automatically selects the best tool for your question.
Claude will automatically determine the best tool to answer the query, though you can always specify a tool if you already know what type of content you are looking for.
To configure a server’s tools:
- Navigate to Settings → Connectors
- Next to the connector, click the Configure button
- You’ll now be able to see all available tools the server offers
By default, all tools will be enabled.
Disable the search and fetch tools before prompting. These tools are intended for use only with ChatGPT.
Set Tool Permissions The default tool permission setting is always ask for permission. In this configuration, Claude will ask for permission every time it wants to use a tool. To allow automatic tool usage, set the permission to allow unsupervised.
We recommend setting all tool permissions to allow unsupervised when first using the servers. Based on your observations, you can disable tools and change permissions to help Claude’s searches align better with your preferences.
Configure System Prompt (Optional but Recommended) A system prompt significantly improves performance. See the System Prompt page for setup instructions.

Using the MCP Servers

Open a new chat window
Click the search and tools icon button in the chat box
You should see your connectors at the top of the list
Toggle the connectors on to enable them
You can also toggle individual tools directly in the chat window

Removing a Connector

Go to Settings → Connectors
Click the More icon button next to the connector
Click Remove to permanently remove it, or Disconnect to temporarily disable it

Requirements

Claude Code CLI installed
Node.js v18+ with npx available on your PATH

If you intend to use both claude.ai and Claude Code, you must set up each application separately. MCP servers are not shared between them.

Server names must not contain spaces. Use the exact names shown below.

Quick Setup (CLI)

Run these commands to add each server you want:

macOS / Linux
Windows (PowerShell or CMD)

# SDK Docs
claude mcp add CameraRemoteSDK --scope user -- npx mcp-remote https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp
# Help Guides
claude mcp add CameraHelp --scope user -- npx mcp-remote https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp
# Web API Docs
claude mcp add CameraWebAPI --scope user -- npx mcp-remote https://crsdk.app/mcp

# SDK Docs
claude mcp add CameraRemoteSDK --scope user -- cmd /c npx mcp-remote https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp
# Help Guides
claude mcp add CameraHelp --scope user -- cmd /c npx mcp-remote https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp
# Web API Docs
claude mcp add CameraWebAPI --scope user -- cmd /c npx mcp-remote https://crsdk.app/mcp

Verify they’re connected:

claude mcp list

For system prompt setup, see the System Prompt page.

Manual Setup (JSON Config)

If the CLI has issues or you prefer editing config files directly, paste the JSON into the appropriate file for your desired scope.

Project Scope — `.mcp.json` (Team Shared)

Create a .mcp.json file in your project root:

macOS / Linux
Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "CameraRemoteSDK": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
      ]
    },
    "CameraHelp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
      ]
    },
    "CameraWebAPI": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://crsdk.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

On Windows, npx must be wrapped with cmd /c:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "CameraRemoteSDK": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c", "npx", "mcp-remote",
        "https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
      ]
    },
    "CameraHelp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c", "npx", "mcp-remote",
        "https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp"
      ]
    },
    "CameraWebAPI": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c", "npx", "mcp-remote",
        "https://crsdk.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Commit .mcp.json to version control to share MCP server configuration with your team.

User Scope — `~/.claude.json` (Global)

Available across all projects on your machine. Merge into your existing ~/.claude.json (create it if it doesn’t exist).

OS	Path
macOS	`/Users/<your-username>/.claude.json`
Linux	`/home/<your-username>/.claude.json`
Windows	`C:\Users\<your-username>\.claude.json`

Uses the same JSON format as Project Scope above.

Local Scope — `.claude.local.json` (Private)

Private to the current user and project only. Place in your project root. Uses the same JSON format as above.

Scope Priority

When the same server is defined in multiple scopes: Local > Project > User

Tool Permissions

Auto-approve tools by adding to your settings config (~/.claude.json, .claude/settings.json, or .claude/settings.local.json):Approve all servers:

{
  "approvedTools": [
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK",
    "mcp__CameraHelp",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI"
  ]
}

Or approve specific tools only:

{
  "approvedTools": [
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_sdk",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_code_examples",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_documentation",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_api_functions",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_compatibility",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_hybrid",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_exact_api",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_error_codes",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_warning_codes",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__search_by_source_file",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__get_sdk_context",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__get_current_sdk_version",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__set_sdk_version",
    "mcp__CameraRemoteSDK__set_sdk_language",
    "mcp__CameraHelp__search_camera",
    "mcp__CameraHelp__search_help_guides",
    "mcp__CameraHelp__search_topic",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_sdk",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_code_examples",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_documentation",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_api_functions",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_compatibility",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_hybrid",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_exact_api",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_error_codes",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_warning_codes",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__search_by_source_file",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__get_sdk_context",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__get_current_sdk_version",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__set_sdk_version",
    "mcp__CameraWebAPI__set_sdk_language"
  ]
}

Wildcards (*) are not supported — you must explicitly list each tool or approve the entire server.

Managing & Removing Servers

claude mcp list                                       # List all servers
claude mcp remove CameraRemoteSDK --scope user        # Remove SDK Docs
claude mcp remove CameraHelp --scope user             # Remove Help Guides
claude mcp remove CameraWebAPI --scope user           # Remove Web API Docs

Restart Claude Code or start a new session after modifying MCP server configurations.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
`npx` not found	Ensure Node.js (v18+) is installed and `npx` is on your PATH. Verify with `npx --version`.
Windows: `npx` not recognized	Use the `cmd /c` wrapper as shown in the Windows configs above. If still failing, try the full path: `C:\Program Files\nodejs\npx.cmd`
Server not connecting	Ensure you’re not behind a proxy/VPN blocking the server URLs.
`approvedTools` not working	Verify the server name in your MCP config matches the prefix in `approvedTools` (e.g. `CameraRemoteSDK`, `CameraHelp`, `CameraWebAPI`).
`.mcp.json` not detected	File must be in the project root directory. Restart Claude Code after creating it.
macOS: permission prompt on first use	For project-scoped `.mcp.json`, Claude Code will prompt for approval on first use. Accept to continue.

Requirements

Cursor IDE installed
Node.js v18+ with npx available on your PATH

Quick Setup (Settings UI)

Repeat these steps for each server you want to add:

Open Cursor Settings (Cmd + , on macOS / Ctrl + , on Windows/Linux)
Navigate to Features > MCP
Click + Add New MCP Server
Enter the server details:

Server	Name	Command
SDK Docs	`CameraRemoteSDK`	`npx mcp-remote https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp`
Help Guides	`CameraHelp`	`npx mcp-remote https://camera-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp`
Web API Docs	`CameraWebAPI`	`npx mcp-remote https://crsdk.app/mcp`

Set Transport Type to command (stdio)
Click Save
Verify the server shows as connected in the MCP settings panel

For system prompt setup, see the System Prompt page.

Manual Setup (JSON Config)

You can also add the MCP servers by editing the config file directly.

OS	Path
macOS	`~/.cursor/mcp.json`
Linux	`~/.cursor/mcp.json`
Windows	`C:\Users\<your-username>\.cursor\mcp.json`

Using MCP Servers in Cursor

Open a new chat in Cursor (Cmd + L / Ctrl + L)
The MCP server tools will be available automatically
Ask questions and Cursor will use the appropriate server tools to retrieve accurate information

Cursor supports MCP servers using stdio, sse, and streamable-http transport types. The stdio transport (via npx) is the recommended approach.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
`npx` not found	Ensure Node.js (v18+) is installed and `npx` is on your PATH.
Windows: `npx` not recognized	Use the `cmd /c` wrapper as shown in the Windows config above.
Server not appearing	Restart Cursor after saving the config file.
Tools not available in chat	Verify the server is connected in Settings > Features > MCP.
