To determine the standard electrode potential of the given system we need to use a hydrogen electrode. In the setup, we shall put a hydrogen electrode as a cathode and Mg | MgSO4 as an anode.

                                        

Now we will measure the emf of the cell. This emf will be the standard electrode potential of the magnesium electrode.

E°cell = E° right  – E°left
E°left =0 ( The standard hydrogen electrode is always zero)
Hence
E^{o}cell = E^{o} Mg|Mg^{2+}
