1. Configure MCP Settings

Add the following configuration to your project based on your IDE:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solanaMcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.solana.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solanaMcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.solana.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
