Building with MCP: How to Connect GrowthBook to Cursor & Claude

Imagine being able to ask your AI coding assistant to check your feature flags, create experiments, and analyze your experimentation program—all without leaving your AI tool of choice 🚀

In this video, we explore the GrowthBook MCP Server, a powerful integration using the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) from Anthropic. We’ll show you how to give your AI "superpowers" to not just understand your code, but actively interact with GrowthBook to ship faster and smarter.

What We Cover:
The Power of MCP: Why context-aware AI matters for experimentation.
Step-by-Step Installation: Setting up the server in Cursor and Claude Desktop.
Live Demos: From checking SDK keys to generating type-safe flags.
Advanced Workflows: Using AI to ideate hypotheses and build experiments from scratch.
