Details
From the project READMEAigist MCP
Connect your LLM to Aigist — publish and manage shareable HTML/Markdown pages (with access control and Figma-style comments) directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
It's a hosted, remote MCP server — you connect by URL, nothing to run or self-host. Sign in with GitHub or Google on first use (OAuth).
- Server URL:
https://ai-gist.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth (GitHub / Google) — handled by your client on first use

Install
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add --transport http aigist https://ai-gist.com/mcp
Claude Desktop — Custom Connector (Pro / Max / Team / Enterprise)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL: https://ai-gist.com/mcp → Add.
A browser opens to sign in. Done.
Claude Desktop — double-click bundle (works on any plan, incl. Free)
Custom Connectors are gated to paid plans; the bundle isn't (it's a local
extension). Download aigist.mcpb, double-click it,
and confirm the install in Claude Desktop (it will note the publisher is
unverified — expected for a self-distributed bundle). Sign in on first use.
The bundle wraps
mcp-remoteand ships its dependencies, so it runs on Claude Desktop's built-in Node — no system Node required.
Cursor
Add to your MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json or project .cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aigist": { "url": "https://ai-gist.com/mcp" }
}
}
Any other client (generic bridge)
If your client only speaks stdio MCP, use the mcp-remote bridge:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aigist": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://ai-gist.com/mcp"] }
}
}
Rebuild the bundle
The committed aigist.mcpb is prebuilt. To rebuild (e.g. after bumping the
version or changing the URL in bundle/manifest.json):
bundle/build.sh
MCP Registry
server.json describes this remote server for the
MCP Registry. Before
publishing: set repository.url to this repo, verify the com.ai-gist
namespace (DNS TXT on ai-gist.com), then publish with the mcp-publisher
CLI. Validate against the current schema first — the registry format evolves.

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.
