## FAQ

### What clients are supported?

The server works with any MCP-capable client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Zed, and Codex.

### How can I restrict the tools available to the AI?

You can use the X-Parseable-Tool-Profile header to set a 'core' profile, which limits tools to list_datasets, get_dataset_schema, and query_sql.

### Can I use this with a self-hosted Parseable instance?

Yes, you can use the stdio transport for local clients or the HTTP transport by providing your self-hosted URL and API key.
