How to connect

How to connect CortexCloud-mcp to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://cortexcloud-mcp--ampwerajonathan50.run.tools

  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 CortexCloud-mcp to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://cortexcloud-mcp--ampwerajonathan50.run.tools

  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.

How to connect CortexCloud-mcp to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://cortexcloud-mcp--ampwerajonathan50.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

  1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
  2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
  3. 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.

cortex_estimate_optimizationAnalyze an optimization problem for free — returns a decision block: recommended mode/backend, estimated provider cost, USDC price, benchmark evidence. Always call this before paying for cortex_optimize.
cortex_optimizeSolve a QUBO/Ising optimization problem (x402-paid, USDC on Base). Returns a job_id to poll with cortex_get_job. Prices per run: classical $0.05, hybrid $0.10, quantum $0.85 (charged = max(list, provider cost x 2.0)). Use mode=auto unless you specifically need quantum.
cortex_get_jobPoll an optimization job by id. Free — returns status, solution, objective, error.
cortex_list_backendsList solver backends (classical/hybrid/quantum) with availability, per-backend estimated provider cost, effective price, and sellable flag. Free — check this before choosing a quantum backend.
