MCP Configuration

Configure your AI client to connect to Synter's MCP server

Prerequisites

  • A Synter account with connected ad platforms
  • An API key from the Developer Portal
  • Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf installed

// macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
// Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "synter-ads": {
      "command": "mcp-proxy",
      "args": [
        "--transport", "streamablehttp",
        "--headers", "X-Synter-Key", "syn_your_api_key_here",
        "https://mcp.syntermedia.ai/mcp/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using environment variables

Instead of hardcoding your API key, use an environment variable:

bash
# Add to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc)
export SYNTER_API_KEY="syn_your_api_key_here"

Verify connection

After configuring, restart your AI client and ask:

"What ad platforms are connected to my Synter account?"

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" error

Verify your API key is correct and hasn't been revoked

Connection timeout

Check your internet connection and verify the endpoint is reachable

Tools not appearing

Restart your AI client completely after saving the config file
