MCP support
Provides read and write tools for Bidsketch through a remote MCP server. Clients authenticate with OAuth and provide a Bidsketch API token during setup.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://bidsketch.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http bidsketch https://bidsketch.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": {
"bidsketch": {
"url": "https://bidsketch.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 Bidsketch credentials.

On first connect you'll paste your Bidsketch API token (an Admin user creates it in Bidsketch under Account → API Tokens).

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.
