Quickstart
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS)
or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"getcurrentoffer": {
"url": "https://getcurrentoffer.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The first call triggers an OAuth consent flow in your browser via Dynamic Client Registration — no API key needed.

Authentication
Two paths, both fully supported:
-
OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) — recommended for hosted clients like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT connectors, and Claude.ai. The client discovers the auth server via the Protected Resource Metadata endpoint advertised in
WWW-Authenticateper RFC 9728, registers itself, then walks the user through a consent screen. No manual key copying. -
API key — recommended for CLI tools, server-side agents, and dev/test. Generate one at https://getcurrentoffer.com/api-keys and pass it via either
X-API-Key: gco_…orAuthorization: Bearer gco_…. Free tier available.
The Authorization Server Metadata and Protected Resource Metadata in this repo are static snapshots of the live well-known endpoints — fetch the live versions for the canonical source of truth.
Example prompts
- "Search for Nike credit card offers."
- "Compare offers for Starbucks across all my issuers."
- "List every merchant with an active Amex offer."
- "What dining offers are active on Chase right now?"

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.
