Configuration Examples

Ready-to-use config snippets for connecting LightSync Pro MCP to your AI client.

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token from your LightSync Pro plugin settings under AI & Tools → MCP Settings.

Claude.ai (Connector URL)

In Claude.ai settings → Integrations → Add MCP Server:

This uses the Streamable HTTP transport — no additional setup required.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightsync-pro": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/lsp-client/v1/mcp?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root, or to the global config at ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightsync-pro": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/lsp-client/v1/mcp?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightsync-pro": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/lsp-client/v1/mcp?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Multiple Sites

You can connect multiple WordPress sites simultaneously. Each needs its own token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lightsync-main": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-json/lsp-client/v1/mcp?token=TOKEN_1"
    },
    "lightsync-staging": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://staging.yoursite.com/wp-json/lsp-client/v1/mcp?token=TOKEN_2"
    }
  }
}

Note: Claude.ai currently deduplicates servers with identical tool names. If connecting multiple sites in Claude.ai, this is a known limitation — the workaround is to use one site at a time via the connector URL.

Verifying the Connection

After configuring, ask your AI client:

"Check my LightSync Pro connection status"

A successful response looks like:

{
  "site_url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "plan": "pro",
  "connected": ["lightroom", "dropbox", "figma"]
}

If you get a 404, verify the plugin is active on your WordPress site and the token matches what's in the plugin settings.

SSE Legacy Transport (Advanced)

For clients that require the SSE transport instead of Streamable HTTP:

The SSE endpoint supports both GET (stream) and POST (message). Most modern clients should use the standard /mcp endpoint above.
