Your vault, in your AI tools

Add Curatively’s MCP server to this machine. It is a streamable HTTP server named curatively at https://curatively.io/api/mcp.

Claude Code: run claude mcp add --scope user --transport http curatively https://curatively.io/api/mcp
Adding it opens no browser. To sign in, I run /mcp, choose curatively, then Authenticate.

Codex: run codex mcp add curatively --url https://curatively.io/api/mcp
That adds the server and starts the sign-in. If no sign-in starts, run codex mcp login curatively.

Cursor: add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, keeping any servers already there.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "curatively": { "url": "https://curatively.io/api/mcp" }
  }
}
No browser opens by itself. I sign in from Cursor Settings → MCP, where Curatively shows as needing login.

Servers load when a session starts. When you’re done, tell me to restart, or open a new chat, and sign in. Then I’ll ask you to list my Curatively vaults.

Finding a save by its tags, colours or description depends on the catalogue: Plus catalogues everything you save; a free account has a cataloguing allowance, shown in Account.

• search_vaultSearches your saves in your own words and ranks what it finds.
• get_itemOne save with everything on it, including the image itself.
• get_itemsUp to ten saves in one call, with pictures for the first four.
• find_relatedUp to six saves closest to one of yours, by look and by text.
• list_recentYour latest saves, newest first.
• list_itemsBrowses by format, source site, colour or date.
• save_itemSaves a photo, link or note to your vault. Private, catalogued in the background.
• update_noteReplaces the note you wrote on a save and hands back the old one.
• get_inspiration_contextReads your active Direction and the references you chose.
• set_directionSets or rewords your Direction, in your words.
• set_direction_statusPauses, completes or resumes a Direction.
• submit_inspiration_batchSends up to five suggestions for you to review in the app. Nothing lands in your vault until you save it.
• list_vaultsNames your vaults, so you can point it at one: “use my Interiors vault”.
• create_vaultMakes a new vault when you ask for one.

• curatively://directionYour active Direction, the references you chose and what you said fit.
• curatively://recentYour 20 newest saves with their tags, colours and descriptions.
• curatively://vault/{slug}One of your vaults as a brief: its tags, palette, sources and newest saves.

In Claude Code, type @curatively:direction to attach your Direction to a message; in Claude Desktop, use the paperclip. Pictures stay behind an explicit get_item.

Set a direction in the app — or ask your assistant to set one — then ask it to find inspiration for it. It reads your direction, researches with its own tools, and sends suggestions back here for you to review. Nothing is saved to your vault unless you save it.

Read my active Curatively Direction and selected references. Find up to five worthwhile articles, images or examples that could help, including useful ideas from other fields. Explain why each fits and submit them to Curatively for review. Use real sources; don’t save anything directly to my vault.

Your assistant needs web search to research; if it can’t browse, it will say so.

Connecting doesn’t start research on its own. You ask each time, or set up a recurring task in your assistant if it supports one.
