Quickstart

Connect the MCP server

Add Chikara Intelligence to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and ask for people, companies and events in plain English.

The server

Server URL

https://mcp.chikaraintel.com/mcp

It's a remote server over Streamable HTTP. Nothing to install. It holds no data of its own and forwards your token to the API, so an assistant sees exactly what your plan covers.

Your AI client

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor

MCP server

mcp.chikaraintel.com

Chikara Intelligence API

api.chikaraintel.com

The MCP server holds no data and no credentials. It forwards your own token, so an assistant reaches exactly what your plan covers.

Add it to your client

Clients that support OAuth sign in through the browser, with no key to copy. The others need an API key from the MCP Access page. See authentication.

In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
Name it Chikara Intelligence and paste https://mcp.chikaraintel.com/mcp. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret empty.
Choose Connect, sign in to Chikara Intelligence and approve access.
In a new chat, turn the connector on from the tools menu and ask a question.

Check it works

Ask something that needs two tools, such as:

Prompt

Find Halberd Industrial Group, then list its current executives.

The assistant should call search_companies and then get_company_people. If it says it has no tools, check the connector is switched on for the chat.

Calling it without a client

The server speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST. This lists the tools, which is a quick way to test a key.

cURL

curl -sS -X POST "https://mcp.chikaraintel.com/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CHIKARA_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}'

What's available

Twelve read-only tools in three groups: people, companies and events. The tools index lists them with their parameters. The filtering guide covers how to build event searches.
