Tango API MCP

The Tango Model Context Protocol (MCP) services enable AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, as well as general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Tango API and documentation.

What is an MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to access external data sources and tools securely. The Tango MCP servers provide AI agents with:

Direct API access to Tango functionality
Documentation search capabilities
Real-time data from your Tango account
Code generation assistance for Tango integrations

Tango MCP Server Setup

Tango hosts two MCP servers: one for the API and the other for Documentation. Configure your AI development tools to connect to these servers.

Add to~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
"mcpServers": {
"tangoDOCs": {
   "command": "npx",
    "args": [
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://developers.tangocard.com/mcp"
    ],
    "env": {
    }
},
"TangoMCP": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://mcp.public.sandbox.tangocard.com/mcp"
  ]
}
}
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Start a new chat with the AI assistant
Ask about Tango - try questions like:
- "How do I [common use case]?"
- "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
- "Create a [integration type] using Tango."

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