Connecting AI Tools to masamenu.tr MCP Server

Step-by-step guides for connecting popular AI assistants to your restaurant data via the MCP protocol.

Prerequisites#

Before connecting any tool, you need:

  • Server URL: https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp
  • API Key: generated in the admin panel at admin.masamenu.tr → ⚙️ Settings → 🔑 Access → 🤖 MCP API Keys

💡 See the MCP Server User Guide for detailed instructions on generating your API key.

MCP is available on AWS brands. The MCP API Keys section is hidden on cenaly.ru. For other brands, copy the server address from your account’s panel: storage is selected by the request brand, so do not use api.masamenu.tr for an account on a different brand.

Claude Desktop#

The desktop app by Anthropic.

Step 1. Open Claude Desktop

Step 2. Go to Settings (⚙️) → Developer → Edit Config

Step 3. The file claude_desktop_config.json will open. Add:

  "mcpServers": {
    "meni": {
      "url": "https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop

Step 5. In a new chat, a 🔨 (tools) icon will appear at the bottom — click it and verify the meni MCP server is connected

📁 Config file location:

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

💡 Cursor supports MCP in Agent mode. Make sure Agent mode is selected, not Ask.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)#

The GitHub Copilot extension for VS Code supports MCP servers.

Option 1 — Project file (recommended):

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "meni": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2 — Global settings:

Open Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,) → search for mcp → open settings.json and add:

          "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting#

Check server health#

curl https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp/health

A successful response is {"status":"ok", ...}; this check does not require authentication.

Test Your Key#

You can verify your API key works before configuring any tool:

curl https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp/health \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Successful response: {"status":"ok"}

Common Issues#

Problem Solution
Connection refused Verify the URL is exactly https://api.masamenu.tr/mcp
404 not found instead of {"status":"ok"} The server is not running in your contour — see the warning at the top of this page
401 Unauthorized Check your API key — it may be revoked or mistyped
Tools not showing Restart the AI tool after saving the config
Key doesn't work Ensure format is Bearer <key> (with space after Bearer)
Key lost Revoke it in admin panel and generate a new one

General Tips#

  • Copy the API key without spaces or extra characters
  • Header format is always: Authorization: Bearer your_key
  • The panel (admin.masamenu.tr → Settings → Access) shows which keys exist, their names and creation dates; the key itself and its activity are not shown there — when in doubt, revoke it and generate a new one
  • You can have up to 10 keys — create separate keys for each tool
  • Revoked keys stop working immediately
