The generic settings of the Telerik Blazor MCP server are:

 * Type: `stdio` (standard input/output transport)
 * Command: `npx`
 * Arguments: `-y`
 * Server name: `telerikBlazorAssistant` (depends on your preferences)
+* Your [Telerik license key](#license-key) as an `env` parameter
 
 > * Do not use hyphens (`-`) or underscores (`_`) in the MCP server name in the MCP `.json` file, due to potential compatibility issues with some MCP clients such as Visual Studio or Windsurf.
 > * Some MCP clients expect the MCP servers to be listed under a `servers` JSON key, while others expect `mcpServers`.
 > * Some MCP clients expect an `mcp.json` file, while others like Visual Studio 2022 expect an `.mcp.json` file.
