MCP support

Clelp exposes search, detail lookup, and rating submission through MCP tools. Searching and retrieving details require no key; submitting a rating requires a `CLELP_API_KEY`.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-clelp-clelp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "clelp-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLELP_API_KEY": "<CLELP_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y clelp-mcp-server
Environment variables to set
CLELP_API_KEYSecretAPI key from clelp.ai, required only for submitting ratings. Search and lookup work without it.

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
