SiftQ + Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Plug SiftQ into Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible client.

MCP is the open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM clients to external tools and data. SiftQ's MCP server exposes the full search API as a discoverable tool — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other MCP-aware clients can call it without bespoke glue code.

Install

npm install -g @siftq/mcp-server

Example

// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "siftq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@siftq/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "SIFTQ_API_KEY": "mk-..." }
    }
  }
}

Why use it

• ✓Zero glue — works in Claude Desktop the moment you save the config
• ✓Exposes the supported scopes as one tool with a scope parameter
• ✓Tool descriptions are LLM-optimized so Claude picks the right scope automatically
• ✓Open source — audit and self-host if you prefer
