MCP Integrations

Aurora works as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which means you can build and deploy projects directly from your favorite AI tools without ever opening the Aurora website.

What you can do via MCP

From any connected tool, you can:

Create new projects from a prompt
List and open existing projects
Read, write, and edit project files
Deploy to production
Check deployment status

All through natural conversation with your AI assistant.

Supported tools

Claude

Anthropic’s AI assistant on claude.ai — add Aurora as a connected integration.

Claude Code

Anthropic’s CLI tool for developers — connect Aurora as an MCP server.

Cursor

AI-native code editor — add Aurora to your MCP server configuration.

Windsurf

Codeium’s AI editor — connect via MCP settings.

Setup

Aurora uses OAuth discovery, so setup is the same across all platforms — just provide the server URL and authorize when prompted.

Aurora MCP server URL

https://mcp.aurora.build/mcp

You’ll need an Aurora account. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll be prompted to sign up during the OAuth flow.

Claude (claude.ai)

Open Claude settings

Go to Settings > Integrations in Claude.

Add integration

Click Add MCP Server and paste the Aurora server URL.

Authorize

You’ll be redirected to Aurora to authorize the connection. Click Authorize to grant Claude access to your projects.

Start building

Ask Claude to create a project. For example: “Create a task manager app with drag and drop.”

Claude Code (CLI)

Add the server

Run the following command to add Aurora as an MCP server:

claude mcp add aurora --transport http https://mcp.aurora.build/mcp

Authorize

The first time you use an Aurora tool, you’ll be prompted to authenticate via your browser.

Start building

Use Aurora tools directly in your Claude Code session:

Create a new Aurora project called "my-dashboard" with a weather widget and dark mode

Cursor

Open MCP settings

Go to Cursor Settings > MCP or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project.

Add the server

Add Aurora to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aurora": {
      "url": "https://mcp.aurora.build/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authorize

When you first interact with Aurora through Cursor, you’ll be prompted to authorize via OAuth.

Windsurf

Open MCP settings

Go to Windsurf Settings > MCP or edit your MCP configuration file.

Add the server

Add Aurora to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aurora": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.aurora.build/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Authorize

Authorize via the OAuth prompt on first use.

Available MCP tools

Once connected, Aurora exposes the following tools to your AI assistant:

Tool	Description
`create_project`	Create a new project from a description
`list_projects`	List all your projects
`get_project`	Get details about a specific project
`read_file`	Read a file from a project
`write_file`	Create or overwrite a file
`edit_file`	Make targeted edits to an existing file
`delete_file`	Remove a file from a project
`get_file_tree`	View the project’s file structure
`deploy`	Deploy the project to production
`get_deployment_status`	Check the status of a deployment
`chat`	Send a message to Aurora’s AI to make changes

Tips

Use chat for complex changes. While write_file and edit_file let your AI assistant modify files directly, the chat tool sends your request to Aurora’s AI which understands your project’s full context and can make coordinated changes across multiple files.

Combine with other tools. MCP connections work alongside your existing workflow. Use Aurora to scaffold and deploy while using your local editor for fine-tuning.

Revoking access

To disconnect an MCP integration, go to Settings in Aurora and click Revoke next to the integration you want to remove.

Troubleshooting

OAuth prompt not appearing

Make sure your browser allows pop-ups from aurora.build. Some tools open the OAuth flow in a new tab or browser window.

Connection timeout

Verify you can reach https://mcp.aurora.build in your browser. If you’re behind a corporate firewall or VPN, you may need to allowlist the domain.

Tools not showing up

Restart your AI tool after adding the MCP server. Some tools require a reload to discover new MCP servers.

Permission denied errors

Your OAuth token may have expired. Remove and re-add the MCP server to re-authorize.
