AI Tools in Your IDE: Set Up AADDYY MCP Server in 2 Minutes

When you type "generate a logo for my startup" in Cursor, what happens?

Without an MCP server: Cursor writes code that calls an API. You have to set up the API, get keys, install SDKs, handle errors — then run the code.

With AADDYY's MCP server: Cursor calls AADDYY directly. You get a logo. Done.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aaddyy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aaddyy/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "AADDYY_API_KEY": "aip_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

That config gives your AI agent access to 35 tools: article generation, image creation, video, SEO analysis, math solving, social media content, and more. Every tool works through natural language — just ask.

What's MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how AI agents in Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf discover and use external tools. Without MCP, your agent can only read and write code. With MCP, it can generate images, analyze websites, create videos, and solve equations — all without leaving your editor.

The MCP ecosystem hit 5,000+ community servers in early 2026. Most are for infrastructure — GitHub, databases, Slack. AADDYY is one of the few that gives agents creative AI tools.

Setup: 2 Minutes

Step 1: Get an API Key

Sign up at aaddyy.com. You get 50 free credits (no card needed). Create a key at aaddyy.com/api-keys.

Step 2: Add the Config

Cursor — create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aaddyy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aaddyy/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AADDYY_API_KEY": "aip_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code — add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aaddyy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aaddyy/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AADDYY_API_KEY": "aip_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf — create .windsurf/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aaddyy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@aaddyy/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AADDYY_API_KEY": "aip_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Use It

Restart your editor. Now just ask:

• "Generate an article about AI trends in 2026"
• "Create a modern logo for a startup called NovaTech"
• "Solve this integral: x^2 from 0 to 5, show steps"
• "Analyze the SEO of https://example.com"
• "Write a professional LinkedIn post about our product launch"
• "Generate a headshot for a team page"

The agent picks the right AADDYY tool automatically.

How It Works Under the Hood

When you ask your agent to "generate a logo":

1. The agent sees aaddyy_logo_creator in its available tools (loaded at MCP server startup)
2. It reads the tool description: "Generate professional logos. Required: keyword. Optional: color, type, background."
3. It calls the tool with { keyword: "NovaTech", type: "modern" }
4. The MCP server POSTs to <https://backend.aaddyy.com/api/ai/logo-creator>
5. The result (logo URL) is returned to the agent
6. The agent shows you the logo

For async tools (video, upscaling), the MCP server handles the polling automatically. You just wait for the result.

What It Costs

Pay-per-use. 1 credit = $0.01. No subscription.

50 free credits on signup. No credit card required.

Compare that to the tools developers typically use:

• Ahrefs (SEO): $99/month vs AADDYY: $0.10/analysis
• Midjourney (images): $10/month + no API vs AADDYY: $0.04/image with API
• Wolfram Alpha (math): $25/month vs AADDYY: $0.01/problem

For the SDK Users

If you prefer writing code over asking your agent, install the NPM SDK:

npm install aaddyy

import { AADDYY } from 'aaddyy'
const client = new AADDYY() // reads AADDYY_API_KEY from env

const article = await client.articles.generate({ topic: 'AI trends' })
const logo = await client.logos.create({ keyword: 'NovaTech' })
const seo = await client.seo.analyze({ url: 'https://example.com' })

Same tools, same pricing, same API key. The MCP server and SDK both talk to the same backend.
