Membit MCP Server connects your AI systems to live social insights via Membit’s API. Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the server exposes tools that make up-to-the-minute social context—trending discussion clusters, raw posts, and more—available to your AI agents in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Goose, and any MCP-compatible client.

​
Remote MCP Server

Connect Membit’s remote MCP server directly without the need for local setup. This approach offers a streamlined experience that eliminates local installation and configuration requirements. Use the remote MCP server endpoint with your Membit API key: 
https://mcp.membit.ai/mcp
Authentication: The remote server requires your API key to be passed as an HTTP header X-Membit-Api-Key: <your-api-key>. The configurations below handle this automatically for each client. Obtain your Membit API key.

​
Configuring Remote MCP Clients

See platform-specific setup guides in the Integrations section.

​
Local MCP

Run the server locally if you prefer.

​
Requirements

  • Membit API key (get one)
  • Python 3.11+
  • An MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Goose, Cursor)
  • Git (optional, if cloning)

​
API Key Configuration

Provide your key in one of two ways: Environment variable (recommended): Create a .env file in the project root: 
MEMBIT_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
HTTP header (useful for direct HTTP testing): 
curl -H 'X-Membit-Api-Key: <your-api-key>' http://localhost:8000/mcp
