Setting up Tidewave MCP

You can access some of Tidewave features from your editor via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We have tailored instructions for some of them:

• Claude Code
• Claude Desktop
• Cursor
• Neovim
• opencode
• VS Code
• Windsurf
• Zed

However, features such as contextual browser testing, point and click prompting, page context and more are only available for Tidewave Web under the /tidewave route of your application.

General instructions

Generally speaking, you need to include Tidewave as MCP of type "http" (or "sse"), pointing to the /tidewave/mcp path of port your web application is running on. For example, http://localhost:4000/tidewave/mcp.

In case your tool of choice does not support "sse" servers, only "io" ones, you can use one of the many available MCP proxies.

Available tools

Here is a baseline comparison of the tools supported by different frameworks/languages. Frameworks may support additional features.
