## FAQ

### Can I use this with clients that only support stdio?

Yes, you can use the hovercode-mcp package via npx to act as a bridge for clients like Cursor or Claude Desktop.

### What happens to the items I create with the assistant?

Everything created by the assistant is saved directly to your Hovercode dashboard, and tools return shareable links and QR images.

### Does the server support dynamic QR codes?

Yes, you can create dynamic QR codes that allow you to change the destination URL or restyle the code without reprinting it.
