Gralio MCP

How to Install and Use Gralio MCP

Gralio MCP is a powerful tool that lets you access a large database of SaaS reviews, pricing, alternatives, and more. If you want to use it, there are simple ways to set it up with popular editors and platforms. Below, you’ll find step-by-step instructions to install and use Gralio MCP easily.

Setting Up Gralio MCP with Cursor

To use Gralio MCP in the Cursor editor, you just need to add a small configuration file. This lets Cursor connect directly to Gralio’s data server.

First, decide where to put the configuration:

• You can add it to your current project, so it works only there.
• Or, add it globally to your home directory so it’s available everywhere.

Now, create a file called .cursor/mcp.json inside your project folder for project setup. Or, create ~/.cursor/mcp.json in your home directory for global setup.

Put this code inside the file exactly as shown:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gralio": {
      "url": "https://market.gralio.ai/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

This tells Cursor where to find the Gralio MCP server.

Connecting Gralio MCP to Windsurf & Cascade

If you use Windsurf or Cascade, the setup is simple too. You will add the Gralio server in the app’s settings.

Go to Settings > Advanced Settings in Windsurf. Scroll to the Cascade section.

Add this MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gralio": {
      "url": "https://market.gralio.ai/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

This enables Windsurf and Cascade to access Gralio MCP data.

Using Gralio MCP with Visual Studio Code

To use Gralio MCP in Visual Studio Code, you need a special JSON file in your project folder.

Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in the root of your project. Add the following:

{
  "servers": {
    "GralioSaaS": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://market.gralio.ai/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}

This setup makes VS Code able to communicate with the Gralio MCP server.

Getting Gralio MCP on Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop supports Gralio MCP when used with something called a supergateway. This step helps the app connect over HTTP or SSE.

First, test the supergateway by running this command in your terminal:

npx -y supergateway --sse "https://market.gralio.ai/mcp/sse"

Next, add this configuration to your Claude MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gralio_remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supergateway",
        "--sse",
        "https://market.gralio.ai/mcp/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Finally, restart Claude Desktop to make sure the changes take effect.

By following these simple steps, you can quickly install and start using Gralio MCP in your preferred tools. This gives you powerful access to SaaS data that can help with software research, finding cheaper alternatives, or checking user reviews.
