Custom connectors are available on Claude.ai (web) for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.

2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Name it Afore and paste the URL https://www.afo.re/api/mcp.

Available in the ChatGPT desktop app and recent web builds for Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans. The connector menu may be labeled "Connectors" or "MCP servers."

Cursor → Settings → MCP & Integrations → Add new MCP server, choose URL / HTTP, and paste the URL. Or drop this straight into .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "afore": {
      "url": "https://www.afo.re/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Poke at the server before wiring it into a client.

curl (raw JSON-RPC)

curl -X POST https://www.afo.re/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "afore_search",
      "arguments": { "query": "Cannes", "limit": 5 }
    }
  }'

Clients that only support the older SSE transport can use https://www.afo.re/api/sse.

For clients without remote MCP support, a local stdio server that calls Afore's public APIs lives in mcp/afore-server of the repo — build it, then point your client at the compiled entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "afore": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/afore/mcp/afore-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "AFORE_API_BASE": "https://afo.re" }
    }
  }
}
