01 · Install Mengram

before you install - you'll need

MENGRAM_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add alibaizhanov-mengram --transport http https://mengram.io/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaizhanov-mengram": {
      "url": "https://mengram.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
