# Connecting to Verb AI MCP

This guide walks you through connecting your AI tool to Verb AI using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

You can connect by adding Verb AI MCP in your AI tool’s directory. You will need to connect manually using Verb AI's MCP's public URL (<http://api.generationlab.org/mcp>) as a custom connection.

Once connected, your tool can request live context from Verb AI behavioral research data.&#x20;

## Prerequisites

Before you can use Verb AI MCP, you'll need:

1. **A Verb AI account** -  you can create an account here: <https://verbai.generationlab.org/>
2. **AI chatbot or MCP client** - Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Cursor, or another MCP-compatible AI assistant

## Connection Configuration

Configure your MCP client to connect to:

<pre><code><strong>http://api.generationlab.org/mcp
</strong></code></pre>

The server will automatically handle OAuth authentication and token verification.

## Connecting Your MCP Client to Verb AI

Choose your preferred AI platform below for specific setup instructions:

* **Claude** - Follow [Anthropic's custom connector guide](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-getting-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) to add your Verb AI MCP server URL in Settings > Connectors. Note: Requires Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan for custom connector access.
* **ChatGPT** – Add your Verb AI MCP server URL in **Settings > Connectors**. Custom connector access is available on **Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans** (not Free). See [OpenAI’s connectors guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11487775-connectors-in-chatgpt?utm_source=chatgpt.com#h_d2a53d4230) for setup details.
* **Cursor** - Configure your MCP server in Cursor's settings using their [MCP documentation](https://docs.cursor.com/en/context/mcp). Add the Verb AI server URL to your MCP configuration with HTTP transport settings.
* **Windsurf** - Set up MCP integration through the Cascade agent following [Windsurf's configuration tutorial](https://windsurf.com/university/tutorials/configuring-first-mcp-server). Configure the HTTP transport to connect to your Verb AI MCP endpoint.
* **Other MCP Clients** - Any MCP-compatible client that supports HTTP transport can connect to Verb AI. Use your server's MCP endpoint URL and ensure OAuth authentication is properly configured for secure access Verb AI behavioral research data.

For platform-specific troubleshooting or advanced configuration options, consult your AI platform's documentation linked above.

{% hint style="success" %}
We highly recommend using Claude for Verb AI MCP integration. Claude offers the most mature  MCP support with reliable OAuth handling, excellent tool discovery, and proven stability for complex behavioral research workflows. While other platforms support MCP, Claude provides the optimal user experience for accessing Verb AI's research capabilities.
