Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.
This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.
Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http quizlar https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp/ --header 'Authorization: your-value'Fill in the empty values before running it.
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Quizlar's MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client:
This repo is the public discovery surface (server.json for the Official MCP Registry + a stdio bundle for clients that need it). The hosted MCP server itself is closed-source and runs at https://mcp.quizlar.app — /mcp/ for OAuth-capable clients, /mcp-apikey/ for apiKey Bearer auth (used by every snippet in this README).

{
"mcpServers": { "quizlar": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote@0.14.3", "https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp-apikey/", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${QUIZLAR_API_KEY}" ], "env": { "QUIZLAR_API_KEY": "sk-qz-..." } } } }
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json — Windsurf supports Streamable HTTP natively, no wrapper needed:
{
"mcpServers": { "quizlar": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp-apikey/", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${QUIZLAR_API_KEY}" } } } }
Then export QUIZLAR_API_KEY=sk-qz-... in your shell.
Open Settings → Connectors → "Add custom connector":
https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp-apikey/Authorization, Value: Bearer sk-qz-...Or edit claude_desktop_config.json directly using mcp-remote:
{
"mcpServers": { "quizlar": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote@0.14.3", "https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp-apikey/", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${QUIZLAR_API_KEY}" ], "env": { "QUIZLAR_API_KEY": "sk-qz-..." } } } }
Edit cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → Settings → MCP Servers → "Edit JSON"):
{
"mcpServers": { "quizlar": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote@0.14.3", "https://mcp.quizlar.app/mcp-apikey/", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${QUIZLAR_API_KEY}" ], "env": { "QUIZLAR_API_KEY": "sk-qz-..." } } } }

Replace claude with cursor, windsurf, etc. Smithery walks you through pasting your API key.
