## Recipe

Config file (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aicharged": {
      "url": "https://aicharged.io/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:AICHARGED_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For one project use .cursor/mcp.json; Cursor expands ${env:…} from the environment.

Config with the key inline (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aicharged": {
      "url": "https://aicharged.io/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
