Set up your client
Claude
Add Pipecorn as a custom connector and sign in with OAuth.
ChatGPT

Claude Code
One command with your API key.
Cursor
Add the server to your
mcp.json with your API key.X-API-Key header.
Prerequisites
- A Pipecorn account with an API key. OAuth clients sign in with your Pipecorn login instead and do not need the key.
- Node.js, only for clients that run the server through
mcp-remote(Claude Code, Cursor).
How it fits with the other surfaces
The MCP server exposes the same primitives as the REST API and the CLI, so anything you can do in a chat you can also script. Use MCP when a person is driving an assistant. Use the API or CLI when code is driving the workflow. Credits and plan limits are shared across all three; see Credits vs limits. Before any large extraction or enrichment, the assistant should call thepreview_* tools and get_credits to size the job and confirm the balance.
The agents guide lists the conventions
we recommend agents follow.
Roadmap
