The Livepeer documentation site exposes an MCP server at https://docs.livepeer.org/mcp. This is a Mintlify-provided server that makes the full Livepeer docs corpus queryable by MCP-compatible AI tools. When connected, tools like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf can retrieve current documentation before generating code or answers about Livepeer APIs, pipelines, and configuration. The endpoint uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport and requires no API key.

​
Cursor

Open or create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (for project-scoped access) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global access. Add the Livepeer docs server: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livepeer-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.livepeer.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Restart Cursor. The server appears in Settings > MCP. Cursor’s AI features now query Livepeer documentation when answering questions about Livepeer APIs or generating Livepeer integration code.

​
Claude Desktop

Open the Claude Desktop configuration file:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Add the Livepeer docs server under mcpServers: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livepeer-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.livepeer.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The server appears in the MCP section of Claude’s tool panel.

​
Windsurf

Open Windsurf Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server. Select SSE as the transport type and enter:
  • Name: livepeer-docs
  • URL: https://docs.livepeer.org/mcp
Click Save and restart Windsurf. The Livepeer docs MCP server is now available to Cascade and the Windsurf AI chat.

​
VS Code Copilot

Add the server to your VS Code settings.json under the mcp key: 
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "livepeer-docs": {
        "type": "sse",
        "url": "https://docs.livepeer.org/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}
Enable MCP in VS Code Copilot settings if not already active. The Livepeer docs server appears in the Copilot tool list.

​
Verification

Once connected, ask the tool a Livepeer-specific question: “What pipelines does the Livepeer AI network support?” or “What are the request parameters for the text-to-image endpoint?”. A grounded answer pulling from the live documentation confirms the connection is working. If the tool answers from training data instead of documentation, check that the MCP server is listed as active in the tool’s settings panel and that the URL is reachable from your network. Add the Livepeer Docs MCP to your Claude Code or Cursor configuration to query documentation without leaving your editor.
