⭐ Introduction
The DiliTrust Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets AI-powered tools — such as the Cursor and Windsurf code editors and Claude Desktop — interact directly with your DiliTrust API and documentation.
In practice, once connected, your AI assistant can:
- Access DiliTrust functionality directly through the API
- Search the DiliTrust documentation
- Work with real-time data from your DiliTrust account
- Get help generating code for DiliTrust integrations
MCP is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The DiliTrust MCP server is hosted remotely at https://developers.dilitrust.com/mcp.
☝ Prerequisites / Getting Started
Before you connect, make sure you have:
- Your DiliTrust API token (authentication is currently required — see the Limitations section)
- An MCP-compatible AI tool installed, for example Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Desktop
For the full API reference and the modules available (Board Portal, Contract Management, Legal Entities, Users Management (SCIM), and eSign provider connectors), see the DiliTrust Public API Documentation.
✅ Step-by-Step Guide
Configure your AI tool to connect to the DiliTrust MCP server by adding the DiliTrust entry to your tool's MCP configuration file.
- Cursor — add the following to ~/.cursor/mcp.json: { "mcpServers": { "dilitrust": { "url": "https://developers.dilitrust.com/mcp" } } }
- Windsurf — add the same entry to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
- Claude Desktop — add the same entry to claude_desktop_config.json
- If the API requires authentication, pass your credentials via headers — either through query parameters or however headers are configured in your specific MCP client.
Test your setup:
- Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
- Start a new chat with the AI assistant
- Ask a DiliTrust-related question, for example: "How do I [common use case]?", "Show me an example of [API functionality]", or "Create a [integration type] using DiliTrust"
The AI assistant should now be able to reach your DiliTrust account data and documentation through the MCP server.
✨ Tips & Best Practices
- Use the documentation-search capability to ask the assistant to find the right API endpoint before generating integration code.
- Keep the same DiliTrust entry consistent across tools — the configuration is identical for Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.
⛔ Limitations & Known Constraints
- Authentication is required today. You currently need to authenticate with your DiliTrust API token to use the MCP server.
- DiliTrust is working on OAuth-based authentication to make access easier. This is planned as part of ongoing 2026 improvements and no delivery date is confirmed yet.
❓ FAQ
Does DiliTrust have an MCP server?
Yes. DiliTrust hosts a remote MCP server at https://developers.dilitrust.com/mcp, and it will continue to be improved during 2026.
Which AI tools can I use it with?
Any MCP-compatible tool. The documentation provides ready-to-use configuration for Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.
Do I need to install anything?
The MCP server is hosted remotely by DiliTrust at https://developers.dilitrust.com/mcp. You add a configuration entry in your AI tool, as shown in the Step-by-Step Guide.
Do I need credentials?
Yes. You currently need to authenticate with your DiliTrust API token. DiliTrust is working on OAuth-based authentication for the future.
Where can I find the full API documentation?
See the DiliTrust Public API Documentation.
