What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf connect to external services. With Curyloop's MCP server, your AI assistant can search your knowledge base, create sessions, and add items - all from your terminal or IDE.

Claude Code
Add Curyloop as an MCP server:
bash
claude mcp add curyloop \
--transport http \
--url https://curyloop.com/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Now you can ask Claude things like:
- "Search my Curyloop for React performance articles"
- "Add this URL to my current session"
- "Create a new session called 'Q2 Research'"
Cursor
Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:
json
{
"mcpServers": {
"curyloop": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://curyloop.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Windsurf
Add to your .windsurf/mcp.json:
json
{
"mcpServers": {
"curyloop": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://curyloop.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Available tools
Once connected, the MCP server exposes these tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_items | Search across all your curated items |
create_session | Create a new session in a group |
add_item | Add an item to a session |
list_groups | List your groups |
list_sessions | List sessions in a group |
Tips
- Use MCP to save references while coding without switching context
- Build a project-specific knowledge base right from your IDE
- Combine with the AI Agent for a fully automated research pipeline
