Agent Host Setup

Setup snippets for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Windsurf, Cline, and generic MCP clients.

Applies to: RetainDB MCP

Most MCP hosts use the same JSON shape.

Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "retaindb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@retaindb/mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "RETAINDB_API_KEY": "rdb_...",
        "RETAINDB_API_URL": "https://api.retaindb.com",
        "RETAINDB_PROJECT": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex

Use the host's MCP configuration and point it at the same command:

toml

[mcp_servers.retaindb]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@retaindb/mcp-server@latest"]

[mcp_servers.retaindb.env]
RETAINDB_API_KEY = "rdb_..."
RETAINDB_API_URL = "https://api.retaindb.com"
RETAINDB_PROJECT = "production"

OpenCode

json

{
  "mcp": {
    "retaindb": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@retaindb/mcp-server@latest"],
      "enabled": true,
      "env": {
        "RETAINDB_API_KEY": "rdb_...",
        "RETAINDB_API_URL": "https://api.retaindb.com",
        "RETAINDB_PROJECT": "production"
      }
    }
  }
}

Operational notes

Keep API keys out of shared config files.
Use one project per environment or workspace.
Rotate keys if they are pasted into public logs.
Use Agent Memory Bus tools for multi-agent tasks.
