MCP is the socket, not the memory

By [OPERATOR NAME]

An MCP connection into a memory server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open way for an AI app to call a server. Archilas exposes one HTTP server at /api/mcp. Any client that supports MCP can use it. I do not ship a separate integration per logo.

I wasted a week treating MCP as a feature I would add later for one editor. It is a socket. Once the server is up, the client is whoever implements the socket.

What I run

https://www.archilas.com/api/mcp with a bearer key. Claude Code has a one-line `claude mcp add`. Cursor takes a JSON block. Codex takes a TOML block. ChatGPT, if the client lets you add a remote MCP server, uses the same URL and the same header. The docs have the commands: Docs.

The tool name in the server is `archilas.ask`. That is the function the client calls. The product around it is the context, not a search box.
