Receiving Your Welcome Email¶

After signing up, you'll receive an email from noreply@usemeridian.us with:

Your bearer token (sk_meridian_...) — keep this private
Claude Code config — ready-to-paste .mcp.json snippet
Claude Desktop config — ready-to-paste config snippet
Dashboard link — https://usemeridian.us/dashboard

Configuring Claude Code¶

Paste this into your project's .mcp.json (or ~/.claude/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meridian": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://usemeridian.us/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_meridian_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

No local install required

With the hosted tier, you don't need to clone the repo or install anything locally. Claude Code's native HTTP transport connects directly — no proxy needed.

Configuring Claude Desktop¶

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meridian": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://usemeridian.us/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_meridian_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

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

Configuring Cursor¶

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meridian": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://usemeridian.us/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_meridian_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Managing Projects¶

Delete a project: Click the kebab menu → Delete. Deletes all sessions, tasks, and goals.

Switch projects: Use the project selector in the sidebar.

Account Settings¶

Your account page is at https://usemeridian.us/dashboard → ⚙️ Settings.

From there you can: - View your current plan - Copy your bearer token - Manage billing (Stripe portal) - Delete your account

BYODB Setup¶

Prefer to manage your own Neon database? You can use BYODB:

Create a Neon account and project
Copy your connection string: postgresql://...@....neon.tech/neondb?sslmode=require
At signup, choose "Bring your own database" and paste the URL

Meridian will initialize its schema in your database on first run. Your data never touches our Neon account.

FAQ¶

Q: Can I switch from managed DB to BYODB after signup? A: Email hello@usemeridian.us — we'll migrate you manually.

Q: What happens to my data if I cancel? A: Your Neon database is deleted 28 days after payment failure. You'll receive warning emails on day 3-7 and day 14.

Q: Can multiple team members share one account? A: Yes — unlimited members on all plans. Each member signs in with their own Google/GitHub and connects to the same workspace.

Q: Is there a rate limit on the MCP endpoint? A: 100 requests per minute per bearer token. Sufficient for all normal usage patterns.

Q: I lost my bearer token. How do I get a new one? A: Email hello@usemeridian.us — we'll regenerate it.

Q: Does the hosted tier work with Cursor / Windsurf? A: Yes — any MCP-compatible client that supports HTTP transport works with the remote /mcp endpoint.

Q: Where is my data stored? A: Each workspace gets an isolated Neon Postgres database in aws-us-east-2 (US East). No data mixing between customers.
