MCP support
Connect to the hosted MCP server at `https://superpowers.tools/mcp` using an MCP client. It exposes tools for discovery, inspection, execution, planning, recipes, usage, and sharing.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMESuperpowers MCP server
Superpowers (superpowers.tools) is the pay-per-call toolbox for AI agents: one key and one MCP server for business data, search, scraping, media and AI models, and you pay only when a call works.
This repository holds the setup for the hosted MCP server. There is nothing to install or run: your client connects to https://superpowers.tools/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
Not to be confused with obra/superpowers, the skills library for coding agents. This is the hosted tools marketplace by PQG Ventures.
What your agent can do with it
- Find a tool by describing the job in plain words (
search_tools), check its input and price (inspect_tool) and run it (run_tool). - Run the same input across several providers and compare results, cost and speed side by side (
compare_providers). - Plan a multi-step job and see the cost before running it (
plan), or run a ready recipe (run_recipe). - Share results as a link anyone can open (
share,upload_file).
The catalog includes AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini and more through one key), web search, scraping to markdown, image, video and voice generation, SEC filings, sanctions screening, and Brazilian public data (CNPJ, CEP, FIPE, court cases, tenders, official gazettes). Browse it at superpowers.tools/catalog.
Failed calls are free. New accounts get US$5 of credit. Many tools are free to call.
Install in one step
Each option signs you in with your Superpowers account in the browser. There's no key to paste, and new accounts get US$5 of credit.
Claude Code plugin
/plugin install superpowers --marketplace pqgventures/superpowers-mcp
(On Claude Code older than 2.1.275: /plugin marketplace add pqgventures/superpowers-mcp, then /plugin install superpowers@superpowers.) Then run /mcp, pick superpowers and sign in.
Cursor plugin
Add this repository as a Cursor plugin, or put the server from mcp.json in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
Agent Skill (Codex, Claude Code, any agent that reads SKILL.md)
npx skills add pqgventures/superpowers-mcp
The skill teaches your agent when to use Superpowers and how to call it over MCP, or over REST with a key.
Any MCP client
Add https://superpowers.tools/mcp/connect as a remote MCP server and sign in. If your client only takes a key, use https://superpowers.tools/mcp with the key, as shown below.
Get a key
Sign in at superpowers.tools/login (Google or an emailed code) and create an API key. An agent can also sign up by itself with POST https://superpowers.tools/v1/signup.
Connect
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http superpowers https://superpowers.tools/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERPOWERS_KEY"
Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) and other clients that take a JSON config
{
"mcpServers": {
"superpowers": {
"url": "https://superpowers.tools/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SUPERPOWERS_KEY}" }
}
}
}
Codex
codex mcp add superpowers --url https://superpowers.tools/mcp \
--bearer-token-env-var SUPERPOWERS_KEY
The server answers initialize and tools/list without a key, so you can see the tools before signing up; running a tool needs the key.
Ready-made recipes
pqgventures/superpowers-recipes has 29 agent skills with runnable scripts that use this server: check a Brazilian supplier from its CNPJ, watch competitor ads, make a video ad from a product page, build a verified lead list. In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add pqgventures/superpowers-recipes.

Comments
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.
