Connect ContextBolt to your AI agent

Every ContextBolt product works the same way. You get a private MCP URL, you paste it into your agent once, and from then on your agent can call ContextBolt for you in plain English. Nothing to install and nothing runs on your machine. The server is remote and speaks the standard Model Context Protocol, so any MCP client can talk to it.

This page covers the connection step for every supported client. For what to do next, head to the product you are setting up.

What you need

You need your private ContextBolt MCP URL. Where it comes from depends on the product.

• Bookmarks gives you a URL on the Pro plan. It looks like https://api.contextbolt.app/mcp/<your-token>.
• SEO and Radar email you a private URL right after you subscribe.

Treat that URL like a password. Anyone with it can reach your data, so do not share it or paste it into public places.

Name your connection

Give the connection a clear name so your agent knows which one to reach for. We recommend matching the product.

• contextbolt-bookmarks
• contextbolt-seo
• contextbolt-radar

The examples below use contextbolt-bookmarks. Swap in the name and URL for whichever product you are connecting.

Claude Code

Run one command in your terminal.

claude mcp add --transport http contextbolt-bookmarks <your ContextBolt URL>

Restart Claude Code and the tools are ready.

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Give it a name and paste your URL. Save, and the connection appears in your tool list.

Cursor

Add the server to your mcp.json under mcpServers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextbolt-bookmarks": {
      "url": "<your ContextBolt URL>"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Add the server to ~/.codex/config.toml.

[mcp_servers.contextbolt-bookmarks]
url = "<your ContextBolt URL>"

Windsurf, Cline and Zed

Each of these has an MCP settings panel where you add a server by URL. Choose the option to add a custom or remote MCP server, paste your ContextBolt URL, and give it a name. The steps mirror Cursor above.

Check it worked

Ask your agent what it can now do. For example, “What ContextBolt tools do you have?” or, for Bookmarks, “Search my saves for anything about pricing.” If the agent lists ContextBolt tools or returns a result, you are connected.

If it is not working

• Make sure you pasted the full URL, including the token at the end.
• Restart the client after adding the server. Most clients only load MCP servers on startup.
• Confirm your subscription is active. An expired plan disables the URL.
• Still stuck? Email [email protected] and we will help.
