Get your first MCP tools running in under 1 minute. We’ve eliminated the installation friction that holds back MCP adoption - just create an account, click a button, and connect. Your account comes with a pre-installed MCP server ready to test immediately.

​
What You’ll Accomplish

By the end of this guide, you’ll have:
  • A DeployStack account with one pre-installed MCP server
  • Your MCP client (VS Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop) connected to DeployStack Satellite
  • Working MCP tools accessible through your client
  • Understanding of how to add more MCP servers
Time Required: Under 1 minute (not counting account creation)

​
Prerequisites

You need just two things:
  • An MCP Client: VS Code, Cursor IDE, or Claude Desktop
  • A Web Browser: For OAuth authorization
  • That’s it: No installations, no CLI tools, no configuration file editing

​
The 3-Step Setup

​
Step 1: Create Your Account

1

Sign Up

Visit cloud.deploystack.io and create your free account.You can sign up with:
  • Email address
  • GitHub account
2

Explore Your Dashboard

Once logged in, you’ll see your dashboard with:
  • One pre-installed MCP server ready to use
  • “Get Client Configuration” button in the top-right corner
  • Empty team space ready for collaboration
We pre-install a demo MCP server so you can test the platform immediately without adding anything first.

​
Step 2: Connect Your MCP Client

Now connect your MCP client to DeployStack Satellite. This is where the “zero installation” comes in - no CLI tools to install, no npm packages to manage, just click and connect.
1

Get Your Configuration

In your DeployStack dashboard:
  1. Click the “Get Client Configuration” button (top-right corner)
  2. A modal opens showing supported MCP clients
  3. Select your client from the dropdown:
    • VS Code
    • Cursor IDE
    • Claude Desktop
2

Install or Copy Configuration

Depending on your client, you’ll see one of two options:For Cursor IDE:
  • Click the “Install in Cursor” button
  • Cursor opens automatically with configuration applied
  • Done! Skip to Step 3
For VS Code or Claude Desktop:
  • Copy the JSON configuration shown in the modal
  • Open your MCP client settings
  • Paste the configuration
  • Save the settings file
What Just Happened?You added the DeployStack Satellite URL to your MCP client. Instead of running MCP servers locally, your client now connects to our managed infrastructure where your MCP servers run securely with your team’s credentials.

​
Step 3: Authorize the Connection

The final step happens automatically when you connect - DeployStack uses OAuth2.1 for secure, credential-free authorization.
1

Start Connection

In your MCP client:
  • Click “Connect” or “Start” next to the DeployStack Satellite entry
  • Your web browser opens automatically
2

Select Team and Authorize

In the browser window:
  1. You’ll see your available teams
  2. Select the team you want to use
  3. Click “Authorize”
  4. Browser window closes automatically
3

Connected!

Back in your MCP client:
  • Connection status shows “Connected”
  • Your pre-installed MCP server is now available
  • You can start using MCP tools immediately

​
Verify It Works

Let’s make sure your MCP connection is working by testing your pre-installed server.
1

Open Your MCP Client

In VS Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop, open the MCP tools panel or command palette.
2

Check Available Tools

You should see tools from your pre-installed MCP server listed.Try running one of the available tools to confirm everything works.

View in Dashboard

Go back to cloud.deploystack.io and check:
  • Your dashboard shows connection activity
  • You can see which MCP server is active
  • Usage analytics start appearing
🎉 You’re Done!You now have a working MCP connection through DeployStack Satellite. Your pre-installed MCP server is running on managed infrastructure, and you can add more servers anytime from the catalog.
