01

Right in Cursor.

Project context Cursor doesn't have, surfaced where you're writing code.

Cursor · Staker.sol
// Staker.sol
contract Staker {
    address public operator;
    mapping(address => uint256) public shares;

    function delegate(uint256 amount) external {
        // ...
    }

Who runs EigenLayer and what does Bankless say about their approach?
get_profile
{ "slug": "eigenlayer" }

EigenLayer is led by Sreeram Kannan. Bankless tracks it as a restaking protocol on Ethereum. The profile flags it as a "trust-as-a-service" primitive, with notes on slashing and AVS onboarding.

02

Or just cURL.

Plain HTTP POST, JSON-RPC 2.0 body, Bearer token. The shape every MCP client uses.

~/bankless · zsh
$ curl -X POST https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer bls_mcp_xxxx' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"list_recent_posts","arguments":{"tag":"podcast","limit":2}}}'
 
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"structuredContent": {
"results": [
{ "id": 1234, "title": "Why the Restaking Renaissance is Real", ... },
{ "id": 1233, "title": "Modular L2s with Polynya", ... }
],
"count": 2

"isError": false
}
}
Setup

Three steps. About a minute.

Drop it into your client.

Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json validator only accepts stdio servers, so we wrap the HTTP endpoint with mcp-remote (needs Node 18+). Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json alongside any existing top-level keys, then restart Claude Desktop.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankless": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

First launch downloads mcp-remote; subsequent launches are instant.

Newer Claude Desktop beta that also accepts url?

Some recent builds will load this simpler stanza instead. If Claude Desktop shows "not a valid MCP server configuration" after a restart, your build doesn't accept it — fall back to the mcp-remote version above.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankless": {
      "url": "https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
What about Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector?

That dialog accepts OAuth (Client ID + Secret) only, so it does not work for Bankless static Bearer tokens today. Use the config file above instead.

Cursor Settings › MCP › Edit Config. The same JSON also works for Continue, Windsurf, and other HTTP-aware MCP clients.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankless": {
      "url": "https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex CLI uses ~/.codex/config.toml. Wraps the HTTP server with mcp-remote via stdio (needs Node 18+):

[mcp_servers.bankless]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"]
ChatGPT Connectors / Custom GPTs?

ChatGPT's Connectors feature (Plus, Pro, Enterprise) requires OAuth, the same limitation as Claude Desktop's custom-connector dialog. It does not yet work for Bankless static Bearer tokens. Use the Codex CLI snippet above for terminal-based work.

Smoke-test the endpoint directly, no client needed.

curl -X POST https://www.bankless.com/es/mcp \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Ask anything.

Your client discovers the tools automatically. Try "Find recent Bankless podcasts about modular blockchains" or "Summarise the latest piece on restaking."
