How MCP Integration Works
Local Analysis Mode
When using MCP without connected integrations:- Steadwing accesses your local codebase through the IDE
- Analyzes files and changes in your working directory
- Provides suggestions based on local context
- No external authentication required
Enhanced Mode with Integrations
When integrations are connected:- Local code analysis is combined with repository data
- Production metrics and errors are correlated with code changes
- Deployment history provides additional context
- Analysis speed and accuracy are significantly improved
Configuration
MCP Server Settings
The MCP server is configured automatically during installation. Advanced configuration options may be available depending on your IDE.Integration Connection
To connect integrations for enhanced performance:- Sign up at app.steadwing.com
- Navigate to Integrations
- Follow the setup instructions for each integration
- The MCP server will automatically use connected integrations
FAQs
Do I need to authenticate to use MCP?
Do I need to authenticate to use MCP?
Yes, Claude Code users must authenticate with Steadwing after installing the MCP server. This authentication is done through your Steadwing account (not GitHub). Once authenticated, you can start analyzing your local code. Optionally, connecting GitHub and other integrations significantly improves performance and provides deeper insights.
What's the difference between using MCP with and without integrations?
What's the difference between using MCP with and without integrations?
Without integrations, MCP works with your local code only. With integrations connected, you get enhanced performance, access to production metrics, error correlation, deployment history, and repository-wide analysis.
Which IDEs are supported?
Which IDEs are supported?
The Steadwing MCP server works with any MCP-compatible development tool, including Claude Code, Cursor, and other emerging MCP-enabled environments. Check the Smithery installation page for the latest compatibility information.
How do I connect integrations for better performance?
How do I connect integrations for better performance?
Visit app.steadwing.com/integrations and follow the setup instructions for each integration you want to connect. The MCP server will automatically leverage these integrations once connected.
Can I use MCP and the web interface simultaneously?
Can I use MCP and the web interface simultaneously?
Yes, you can use both the MCP integration in your IDE and the web interface at app.steadwing.com. They share the same integrations and data when you’re signed in.
Is my local code sent to Steadwing servers?
Is my local code sent to Steadwing servers?
The MCP server processes code according to your IDE’s privacy settings and MCP protocol specifications. When integrations are connected, relevant context may be analyzed to provide better insights. Review the privacy policy at steadwing.com for details.
