quick start

Connect Kaleidoscope MCP

One endpoint, your families granted to your email. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, or any MCP client — connected in a couple of minutes, every tool read-only and safe to auto-approve.

The basics

Three steps to connected

1

Request a demo

Access is invitation-only, per family. Request a demo and we'll allowlist your email for the families your plan covers.

2

Add the endpoint

One URL for everything:

{ "mcpServers": { "kaleidoscope": {
   "type": "http",
   "url": "https://mcp.kscope.io/mcp/" } } }
3

Sign in and ask

On first use your client opens a one-time email sign-in. Your granted families light up — no API keys, nothing to rotate.

Setup

Set it up in your client

The endpoint URL is the only thing you need.

claude.ai (web)

Claude on the web

Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the endpoint URL, and sign in with your allowlisted email. OAuth is handled for you.

Claude Desktop & Code

Claude apps

Add the server to the mcpServers block in your config (the snippet above), then restart. The email sign-in opens on first use.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT

Open Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, add a custom connector with the endpoint URL, and complete the email sign-in. Available on plans with connector support.

Gemini

Gemini

In Gemini CLI or clients with MCP support, add the server to your mcpServers config with "httpUrl" set to the endpoint, then sign in by email on first use.

Cursor

Cursor

Open Settings → MCP → Add new server, choose HTTP, and paste the endpoint URL. Complete the email sign-in when prompted.

Anything else

Any MCP client

Anything that speaks MCP over HTTP works — point it at the endpoint and complete the one-time email sign-in.

Moving from a per-server URL? Replace any mcp-<name>.kscope.io/mcp/ entries with https://mcp.kscope.io/mcp/; your granted families appear automatically.

Good to know

Three things that help

Not sure which tool? Call discover_tools — it maps plain English to the right call, with any grant. Safe to auto-approve — every tool is read-only and side-effect-free. Ask for any date — answers are point-in-time; "as of" a past date returns what was knowable then.
