Model Context Protocol

The Overlayed documentation is available through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing you to access our docs directly within your preferred AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol creates standardized connections between AI applications and external services like documentation. When connected, your AI tool can search the Overlayed documentation directly during response generation, giving you more accurate answers about building overlays.

Connect to Overlayed MCP

Choose your preferred tool below to connect the Overlayed MCP server:

Claude
Claude Code
Cursor
VS Code

Add the Overlayed MCP server to Claude

Navigate to the Connectors page in the Claude settings.
Select Add custom connector.
Add the Overlayed MCP server:

Select Add.

Access the MCP server in your chat

When using Claude, select the attachments button (the plus icon).
Select the Overlayed MCP server.
Ask Claude a question about Overlayed.

See the Model Context Protocol documentation for more details.

To use the Overlayed MCP server with Claude Code, run the following command:

claude mcp add --transport http Overlayed https://docs.overlayed.gg/mcp

claude mcp list

See the Claude Code documentation for more details.

Open MCP settings

Use Command + Shift + P (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows) to open the command palette.
Search for “Open MCP settings”.
Select Add custom MCP. This opens the mcp.json file.

Configure the Overlayed MCP server

In mcp.json, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Overlayed": {
      "url": "https://docs.overlayed.gg/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Test the connection

In Cursor’s chat, ask “What tools do you have available?” Cursor should show the Overlayed MCP server as an available tool.

See Installing MCP servers in the Cursor documentation for more details.

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project and add:

{
  "servers": {
    "Overlayed": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://docs.overlayed.gg/mcp"
    }
  }
