Bring your own references into the conversation
Curatively offers a remote MCP server. After you connect and authorize access, a compatible AI tool can search your vault, retrieve a save and its image, or add a link or note.
You do not need to publish a save to use it through this connection. The connector works with your private vault after sign-in. Content retrieved by an AI tool is shared with that tool, so choose a tool you trust.
“Find the room references I saved and use them to help describe the style I like.”
Connect Claude
Open Curatively’s connection settings and choose Add to Claude. Review the connector details, add it, then connect and sign in with your Curatively account. Approve access to the account you want to use.
Free Claude accounts can add one custom connector. On Claude Team or Enterprise an Owner adds it for everyone. Tool availability may depend on the client and account you use.
Connect ChatGPT
ChatGPT adds custom MCP apps on the web only, so start on a computer at chatgpt.com. OpenAI lists Business, Enterprise and Edu, where a workspace admin turns on Developer mode, and read-only access on Pro. It doesn’t list Plus or Free, and custom apps don’t appear in the ChatGPT phone app.
Add a custom MCP server named Curatively with the address below, then sign in with your Curatively account when ChatGPT asks.

Connect Cursor or another MCP client
On a computer, choose Add to Cursor on the connection page. Cursor asks to install Curatively, then asks you to sign in.
For another compatible client, add a remote MCP server at the address below and follow its authorization flow.

Know what access allows
The connector can search and read your saves, including saved images. Choose Read and save when you connect and it can also add links or notes and edit a note you wrote. It can’t publish or delete your saves, and you can change its access or disconnect it in Account → AI tools. New saves are private.
Phrase search depends on cataloguing and AI permission in Curatively. If a reference is missing, check whether it has finished cataloguing. You can start by asking the tool to show your latest saves.
“Show my latest Curatively saves.” “Save this link to Curatively with the note ‘Reference for the reading room’.”
