MCP server
Add DeepSieve to Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client — browser login, no key to paste
The MCP server gives any MCP client outcome-shaped tools over the DeepSieve API. There are two ways to connect, and for a human at their editor the first is easier — no key to create, copy, or store.
Easiest of all: let your agent configure itself — paste
Set up DeepSieve by following the instructions here: https://deepsieve.ai/setup.md into
it and skip this page. See the Quickstart.
Browser login (recommended)
claude mcp add --transport http deepsieve https://deepsieve.ai/mcpYour client opens a browser, you sign in with the DeepSieve account you
already have, and it stores a short-lived token in your OS keychain — nothing
lands in a config file, and access is revocable per client. This is OAuth 2.1
(the MCP 2026 spec) with DeepSieve's own login screen doing the consent.
Cursor, VS Code / Copilot, Codex and others follow the same
--transport http shape.
Requires a DeepSieve deployment with MCP OAuth configured. On a deployment that hasn't enabled it, use the API-key path below.
CI, containers, and other headless environments
No browser? Use the stdio server with a scoped API key — the right choice for pipelines and services, where OAuth's browser step can't run.
Installs from PyPI (uvx deepsieve-mcp, no repo checkout). Create a key at
Settings → API keys with the Agent preset — it runs
research and reads results but can't touch your schema or billing.

Two transports, both shipped: the hosted Streamable-HTTP server with OAuth 2.1 (the browser-login path at the top of this page — no key in a config file, revocable per client) and the local stdio server shown here, which is the spec-recommended path when you want key-based auth or an air-gapped setup.
