Quick Start
Connect to ClarityCore MCP in under 2 minutes. Get access to 183 verified intelligence tools.
Prerequisites
- A ClarityCore account (sign up at claritycoremcp-live.up.railway.app)
- An API key from your dashboard (Settings → API Keys)
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client)
1
Get your API key
Sign in to your dashboard and navigate to API Keys. Generate a new key — it will start with cc_live_. Copy it; you will only see it once.
Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly. Use environment variables in production.

Connect your client
Claude Desktop
RecommendedEdit your Claude Desktop config file. On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. On Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.
claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"claritycore": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-client"],
"env": {
"MCP_SERVER_URL": "https://claritycoremcp-live.up.railway.app",
"MCP_API_KEY": "cc_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Replace cc_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your actual API key. Restart Claude Desktop.
Cursor
Create or edit .cursor/mcp-servers.json in your project root.
.cursor/mcp-servers.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"claritycore": {
"url": "https://claritycoremcp-live.up.railway.app/sse",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "cc_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Any MCP Client (SSE)
For any client that supports the MCP SSE transport, use this config:
MCP SSE Configuration
{
"server": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://claritycoremcp-live.up.railway.app/sse",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "cc_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}3
Verify the connection
Test with a curl command to confirm your key works and the server responds:
Terminal
curl -X POST https://claritycoremcp-live.up.railway.app/mcp/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: cc_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE" \
-d '{
"tool": "deep_research",
"arguments": {
"query": "What are the latest FDA guidelines on prior authorization?"
}
}'Or send a JSON-RPC request via the MCP protocol:
JSON-RPC Request
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "deep_research",
"arguments": {
"query": "What are the latest FDA guidelines on prior authorization?"
}
}
}
