MCP support
Exposes Beamer read and metadata tools to MCP clients through a hosted remote endpoint. Users authenticate with a Beamer API key during sign-in.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEBeamer MCP by usefulapi
Use your Beamer account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read posts, comments, reactions, feature requests, votes and NPS responses. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://beamer.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://beamer.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http beamer https://beamer.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"beamer": {
"url": "https://beamer.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Beamer credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/beamer/
On first connect you provide a Beamer API key (Beamer → Settings → API). A read-only key is enough. The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

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.
