Hosted endpoint
- URL:
https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp - Protocol: MCP 2026-07-28 Streamable HTTP
- Auth: API key from Lazy Ads → Settings → API (any paid plan)
Docs: lazyads.ai/mcp
Connect your client (lazyads.ai/mcp#setup)
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) and Claude Code (.mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"lazyads": {
"url": "https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer la_your_api_key" }
}
}
}
Claude Code one-liner: claude mcp add --transport http lazyads https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer la_your_api_key"
Windsurf uses serverUrl instead of url. Gemini CLI uses httpUrl. VS Code uses servers with "type": "http". Codex CLI reads [mcp_servers.lazyads] with url and bearer_token_env_var = "LAZY_ADS_API_KEY" from ~/.codex/config.toml. Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so bridge it with mcp-remote and put the header in env. Copy-ready blocks for every client: https://lazyads.ai/mcp#setup
X-API-Key is also accepted.
Connect (Hermes)
Store the key in ~/.hermes/.env as LAZY_ADS_API_KEY=la_..., then:
mcp_servers:
lazyads:
url: "https://mcp.lazyads.ai/mcp"
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer ${LAZY_ADS_API_KEY}"

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
