# MCP

## MCP (Model Context Protocol) Integration

QuickSilver supports integration as an MCP-compatible server, allowing real-time communication with any client that implements the MCP specification.

### Configuration

Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quicksilver-server": {
      "url": "https://api-quicksilver.iotex.ai/sse?authorization=your-api-key"
    }
  }
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Replace `your-api-key` with your actual QuickSilver API key.
{% endhint %}

## Features

* **Real-time Communication**

  Built on Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses and persistent connections
* **Protocol Compliance**

  Fully adheres to the MCP specification *(insert link if available)*
* **Secure Authentication**

  Authenticated via API key passed securely in the URL

### Usage

Once configured, your MCP-compatible client can:

* Establish and maintain a persistent connection with QuickSilver
* Receive streaming responses in real time
* Maintain conversation context across sessions
* React to live data updates from your agent

### 💡 Tips

* Replace your-api-key with your actual QuickSilver API key
* Ensure your MCP client supports SSE connections
* Connection lifecycle is automatically handled by the client
* Do not expose your API key publicly — keep it secure at all times
