Set up

The Temso MCP server is a remote server using the streamable HTTP transport:

https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp

You need a Temso account. When you add the server, your client opens a browser window where you sign in to Temso and approve the connection — that's the whole authorization flow. The connection is scoped to the projects your account can access, and you can revoke it at any time from Organization Settings → API Keys in the Temso app.

Read and write access

The MCP server exposes read tools (analytics, configuration look-ups) and write tools that modify your project configuration. Read tools require the mcp:read scope; write tools require mcp:write. The OAuth connection set up above grants both, so write tools work out of the box. If you instead create an API key manually under Organization Settings → API Keys, make sure it includes the mcp:write scope to use the write tools — read-only keys (and legacy keys created before scopes existed) cannot call them.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

1. Open Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Enter Temso as the name and https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp as the URL.
4. Click Add, then Connect — your browser opens the Temso sign-in page.
5. Sign in and approve access. Temso's tools are now available in your chats.

Claude Code

Add the server from your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http temso https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and pick temso to complete the browser sign-in.

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new MCP server, or add this to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "temso": {
      "url": "https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Cursor flags the server as needing login — click it to open the browser sign-in and approve access.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports remote MCP servers via connectors (availability depends on your plan; enable developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors if required):

1. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Create.
2. Enter Temso as the name and https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp as the server URL.
3. Choose OAuth as the authentication method and save.
4. Sign in to Temso in the browser window and approve access.

Other clients

Any MCP client that supports the streamable HTTP transport with OAuth authorization (including dynamic client registration) can connect — point it at https://app.temso.ai/api/v1/mcp and complete the browser sign-in.

Verify the connection

Ask your assistant something like "List my Temso projects". It should call the list-projects tool and return your projects. If your account has more than one project, mention the project by name in your questions so the assistant passes the right project ID — see Tools.
