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.

bash
claude mcp add --transport http deepsieve https://deepsieve.ai/mcp

Your 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.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add deepsieve \
  --env DEEPSIEVE_API_KEY=ds_live_... \
  --env DEEPSIEVE_API_URL=$BASE_URL \
  -- uvx deepsieve-mcp

Cursor / Claude Desktop (manual JSON)

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepsieve": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["deepsieve-mcp"],
      "env": {"DEEPSIEVE_API_KEY": "ds_live_...",
              "DEEPSIEVE_API_URL": "https://deepsieve.ai"}
    }
  }
}

DEEPSIEVE_API_URL defaults to http://localhost:8200 (local dev stack).

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.
