    How to connect

    How to connect bidclub to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://bidclub.ai/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect bidclub to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://bidclub.ai/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (6)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    bidclub_list_showsList every show in the BidClub library with its id, display name, source language, hosts, and source links. Start here when you need a show id for the show parameter of the other tools.
    bidclub_list_episodesList episodes newest first, optionally narrowed to one show. Returns metadata only — titles, deks, dates, durations, participant chips and source links — never the digest or transcript. Use bidclub_get_episode for content.
    bidclub_search_episodesFull-text search across titles, deks, TL;DRs, digests and transcripts, with a substring sweep that handles Chinese queries the tokenizer cannot segment. Returns up to 20 metadata rows, never content. When the response carries partial: true the query only covered the newest searched_recent episodes, so say so rather than reporting an absence.
    bidclub_get_episodeRead one section of an episode. Long sections page deterministically: when the result says truncated: true, call again with offset set to next_offset and concatenate content_md until next_offset is null. Prefer tldr or digest — a transcript can exceed 100,000 characters and is rarely worth paging in full. lang selects the OUTPUT edition, not a catalogue filter; transcripts exist only in the episode's source language, so requesting a different lang for section=transcript always returns the source with lang_fallback: true.
    bidclub_feed_indexThe slim catalogue of every episode — one row each, metadata only. Narrow it with show or person; passing both is an error. Large responses are truncated to the newest rows with a note, so filter rather than paging.
    bidclub_download_linksBuild the download URLs for an episode or a whole show without fetching anything. Hand these to the user, or fetch one yourself when you need a complete transcript in a single request instead of paging it through bidclub_get_episode. Exactly one of slug or show is required.
