Totalum MCP

Connect Totalum to any MCP-compatible AI coding agent. Once connected, your agent can create full-stack projects, run the AI builder, query and edit the database, and deploy to production — entirely through natural language. It takes two steps.

#Step 1 — Get your API key

The MCP key is the same tlm_sk_ key used for the REST API. Reveal it in the API section of your Totalum account — it becomes available once your account has an active credit balance.

#Step 2 — Add Totalum to your AI agent

Pick your agent:

#Claude Code

Run in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json totalum-vcaas '{
  "type": "http",
  "url": "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
  "headers": { "api-key": "<API_KEY>" }
}'

#Codex

Add the server (this preserves your existing MCP servers):

codex mcp add totalum-vcaas --url https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp

Then add the api-key header in ~/.codex/config.toml (the CLI does not support custom headers):

[mcp_servers.totalum-vcaas]
url = "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp"
http_headers = { "api-key" = "<API_KEY>" }

#Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json for project-level):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "totalum-vcaas": {
      "url": "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "api-key": "<API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers, add the "totalum-vcaas" entry inside your existing mcpServers object. Restart Cursor after saving.

#Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (note: Windsurf uses serverUrl, not url):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "totalum-vcaas": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "api-key": "<API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf completely after saving.

#Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json. Claude Desktop is stdio-only, so mcp-remote bridges the HTTP server (requires Node.js):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "totalum-vcaas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
        "--header",
        "api-key: <API_KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

• macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux — ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

#OpenClaw

Method A — /mcp slash command (safe, preserves existing MCP servers):

/mcp set totalum-vcaas={ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp", "--header", "api-key: <API_KEY>"] }

Requires commands.mcp: true in your config. Use /mcp show to verify and /mcp unset totalum-vcaas to remove.

Method B — config file (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, under mcp.servers):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "totalum-vcaas": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y", "mcp-remote",
          "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
          "--header",
          "api-key: <API_KEY>"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw is stdio-only, so mcp-remote bridges the HTTP server as a local process. Restart the gateway after editing the config. Requires Node.js.

#Any other MCP agent

Use these values to configure any MCP-compatible agent. The server uses Streamable HTTP (not stdio), and the api-key header must be sent with every request. Some agents use serverUrl instead of url — check your agent's docs.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "totalum-vcaas": {
      "url": "https://api-accounts.totalum.app/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "api-key": "<API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

For stdio-only agents, bridge the HTTP server with the mcp-remote npm package (requires Node.js).

#What your agent can do

The MCP tools map 1:1 to the REST API endpoints — anything the API can do, your agent can do through MCP:

• Create and manage full-stack projects
• Run the AI builder with natural language
• Query, create, and edit database records
• Deploy to production with CDN
• Manage secrets, files, versions, custom domains and webhooks
