Connecting Hover MCP

How and why you would want to connect to Hover MCP

What can I do with Hover MCP?

MCP Tools

The Hover MCP following tools you can use through your natural language queries:

  • execute-request: Make API calls directly from your specification
  • get-endpoint: Pull in detailed endpoint information on demand
  • get-request-body: Access structured request parameters
  • get-response-scheme: Understand what the API endpoint returns
  • list-endpoints: Browse all available API endpoints
  • list-security-schemes: Access authentication requirements
  • search-schema: Find exactly what you need in the API spec
  • get-code-snippet: Example code snippets in your preferred language to interact with the endpoint
  • search: Search entire knowledge base for relevant information
  • fetch: Returns a guides page

Hover MCP Server Setup

Hover hosts a remote MCP server at https://developers.hover.to/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client. Below you'll find some server setup for some popular providers, but as long as the platform supports using an MCP server, you'll be able to connect to our MCP using the previously mentioned URL.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hoverapi": {
      "url": "https://developers.hover.to/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about Hover - try questions like:
    • "How do I get my access token?"
    • "Show me an example of a job details output."
    • "What web-hooks does Hover send?"

The AI should now have access to your Hover account data and documentation through the MCP server.
