How to connect
How to connect Cycle Intelligence to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://edge.cycle-platform.com/v1/mcp
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- 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 Cycle Intelligence to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://edge.cycle-platform.com/v1/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 Cycle Intelligence to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://edge.cycle-platform.com/v1/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 (6)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| check_dpp_requirements | Use this tool when a company or user asks WHAT the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) requires, WHEN it becomes mandatory, which ESPR/AGEC/French milestones apply to textile or fashion products, or whether the DPP is already obligatory. Returns the verified regulatory timeline (dates as of today), the mandatory data fields a textile DPP needs, and honest notes on what is in force vs pending delegated acts. Deterministic, no account needed. Informational, not legal advice. |
| validate_dpp_readiness | Use this tool when a company needs to know whether its product catalogue is READY for the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP/ESPR): pass an array of products (any reasonable JSON shape: name, sku, description, brand, composition/material, country of origin, supplier, care instructions...) and get a rule-based readiness score 0-100 per product plus the exact missing fields, and an aggregate with the single field that unlocks the most products. INPUT: array of product objects (flexible keys). OUTPUT: per-product score, ready flag, missing field labels; aggregate with top_missing_fields and unlock_hint. Deterministic rule-based validation (ESPR mandatory field set). Up to 200 products per call. No account needed. |
| validate_gs1_identifier | Use this tool to verify a GTIN/EAN barcode number (check digit, GS1 mod-10) or a GS1 Digital Link URL (the QR standard behind Sunrise 2027 retail QR codes and DPP data carriers). Returns whether the identifier is valid, the normalised GTIN-14, and the exact error if not. Use it before printing labels or QR codes so they conform to GS1. Deterministic, no account needed. |
| create_product_twin | Use this tool when an organisation wants to CREATE live Digital Product Twins in Cycle from its product data (after validating with validate_dpp_readiness). INPUT: array of products (same flexible shape as validate_dpp_readiness). OUTPUT: per product, a persistent id and a LIVE twin URL (scannable product page), plus DPP readiness and missing fields. Requires an organisation API key (Authorization: Bearer). Up to 100 products per call. |
| create_dpp | Use this tool to issue the Digital Product Passport of a twin created with create_product_twin. Cycle validates conformance FIRST (ESPR mandatory field set) and REFUSES to create an incomplete passport - if fields are missing it returns exactly which ones. OUTPUT: the DPP dataset + its public URL. EU registry submission happens the moment the EU opens it for textile (Cycle is integrated and in approval as service provider). Requires an organisation API key. |
| create_data_carrier | Use this tool to generate the printable data carrier (QR content) of a twin: a GS1 Digital Link URL (Sunrise 2027 standard) if you pass a valid GTIN, or a serialized twin URL fallback without one. The URL resolves to the product's live twin the moment it is created - it is connected, not a loose QR. Invalid GTINs are rejected before printing. Requires an organisation API key. OPTIONAL: pass allocation={channel|retailer, shipment?, region?, units?} to link the serial to its intended retail channel (channel-aware serialization: future scans of that unit resolve their channel, always labelled INFERRED). |
