MCP support
The plugins connect to the unauthenticated remote MCP server at https://acornharness.com/mcp, enabling assistants to configure harnesses, obtain quotes, and provide checkout links.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMEacorn-plugins
Acorn Harness plugins for Claude Code, Codex and ChatGPT: order custom XT30 wire harnesses from AI assistants.
Acorn Harness builds custom XT30, XT30(2+2) and XT30 + JST GH wire harnesses to order, for robots, actuators, batteries and power boards. Describe the cable you need and your assistant turns it into a design, quotes the exact price, and gives you a checkout link on acornharness.com. You pay and enter the shipping address there, never in the chat. Every wire harness is Assembled in the USA, 100% continuity tested, and ships within 5 business days (US only).
All of these connect to the same remote MCP server: https://acornharness.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication).

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.
