How to connect
How to connect Conducted MCP to Claude

https://conducted-mcp.jonathanmostov.workers.dev/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.

- 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 Conducted MCP to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://conducted-mcp.jonathanmostov.workers.dev/mcp
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- 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.
How to connect Conducted MCP to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://conducted-mcp.jonathanmostov.workers.dev/mcp
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (7)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| validate_artifact | Strictly check whether a Conducted Development artifact's text satisfies the methodology's required structure. Supply the artifact's type and its full text (the server never reads files). Returns { valid, missing, warnings }: `missing` lists required sections that are absent, empty, or contain only unmodified template placeholder text (blocking); `warnings` lists sections that are present but look thin (advisory, non-blocking). `valid` is true iff `missing` is empty. |
| kickoff_questions | Return the branched kickoff interview (DECISIONS.md D3/D4). Supply `project_type`: 'greenfield' asks the full set; 'brownfield' uses the agent-supplied `detected` facts (language, framework, tests, CI, existing docs) to pre-fill candidates and drop fully-inferable questions — except LOCKED_DOCS, which is always asked because it is human judgment. Returns { project_type, questions, inferred, notes }; the server reads no files. |
| kickoff_plan | Assemble, from the bundled templates, the four `_template.md` copies (front-matter tokens replaced), `decision-log.md`, and a filled `AGENT_CONVENTIONS.md` (kickoff guide Steps 2–5). Supply `project_type`, the interview `answers`, optional `detected` (brownfield pre-fill fallback), and optional `existing` (the agent's inventory of files already present). Returns { files: [{ path, content, action }], missing, open_questions, warnings }. The plan is ready iff `missing` is empty (D5 strict); a file with any unresolved {{…}} token is reported in `missing`. Idempotent: already-present files are 'review'/'skip', never overwritten. The server returns content + paths only — it writes nothing (Model C, D2/D6). |
| next_procedure | Return the ordered procedure for where the agent is in the methodology loop. Supply `phase` (one of: kickoff, goal_brief, intent_doc, session_open, session_active, session_close, standup) and optional `facts` (e.g. a ticket id) to tailor the output. Returns { steps, reads_first, escalation_points, notes? } sourced from the bundled guides and conventions — the procedure half of advisor + validator. The server reads no files. |
| standup_due | Given agent-supplied facts, decide whether a standup is due. Triggers in priority order: a deliverable gate reached → 'gate'; else a dependency intersection → 'intersection'; else more than five working days since the last standup → 'weekly'; else 'none'. Working days are an input (the working week varies by team), never computed from a calendar. Returns { due, reason, detail }. |
| evaluate_gate | Encode the goal-brief rule that no session may begin while any gate is open. Supply either a structured `gates` list ([{ id, resolved }]) or a goal-brief `content` string, in which case the GATE LIST checkboxes (- [ ] / - [x]) are parsed. Returns { all_resolved, unresolved, may_begin } where may_begin === all_resolved. The server reads no files — the content is agent-supplied. |
| decision_log_guidance | Encode the Decision-Log 'when to use it' rules. Set whichever apply: `escalation_fired`, `gate_resolved_cross_cutting`, `affects_multiple_tickets`, `override_architectural`, `confined_to_one_session`. Returns { should_log, reason, entry_template? }; when should_log is true the Context/Trigger/Decision/Rationale/Affects skeleton is returned. A decision confined to one session does not need an entry — the session notes suffice. |
