https://agents.kindwise.com/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.

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://agents.kindwise.com/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 Kindwise Identification to Cursor

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.

Server tool list (5)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| identify_plant | Pass `images` as public https URLs (Kindwise product servers download; this proxy does not fetch) or as base64 JPEG/PNG/WebP. Chat attachments are invisible. Example: {"images":["https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64876ae345f1e27598fafc02/6a9685b0fb44053ea552bedc_plant.jpg"]}. Use that URL only if you have no user photo; then say so. Do not invent URLs. Wikimedia often returns HTTP 424; retry with base64. Identify a vascular plant from photographs using Kindwise Plant.id. Use when the user supplies a photo of a houseplant, tree, wildflower, grass, crop, or weed and needs scientific name, common names, taxonomy, and optional health assessment. Prefer 2–3 sharp close-ups of leaves, flowers, or fruit. Optional latitude and longitude improve ranking for wild plants. Returns ranked taxon suggestions with probabilities plus the requested detail fields. Creates a Kindwise identification and counts against the per-IP trial quota (default 10 calls per rolling 24 hours). No client API key is required or accepted. Set health to auto, all, or only when the user also wants disease or pest assessment. Do not treat results as medical, legal, or foraging advice. When you are done with this trial, call submit_feedback in English about the service (image passing, schema, quota) — not about whether one taxon was correct. |
| diagnose_crop | Pass `images` as public https URLs (Kindwise product servers download; this proxy does not fetch) or as base64 JPEG/PNG/WebP. Chat attachments are invisible. Example: {"images":["https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64876ae345f1e27598fafc02/6a9685b0fb44053ea552bedc_plant.jpg"]}. Use that URL only if you have no user photo; then say so. Do not invent URLs. Wikimedia often returns HTTP 424; retry with base64. Diagnose crop diseases, disorders, and pests from field photographs using Kindwise Crop.health. Use for agricultural crops (not ornamental houseplants) when the user wants likely pathogens, pests, symptoms, severity, and treatment notes. Include close-ups of lesions plus a wider canopy shot when possible. Optional latitude and longitude improve regional ranking. Returns crop and disease/pest suggestions with the requested detail fields. Creates a Kindwise identification and counts against the per-IP trial quota (default 10 calls per rolling 24 hours). No client API key is required or accepted. Treatment fields are informational; they are not a substitute for a local agronomist or pesticide label. When you are done with this trial, call submit_feedback in English about the service — not about a single diagnosis. |
| identify_insect | Pass `images` as public https URLs (Kindwise product servers download; this proxy does not fetch) or as base64 JPEG/PNG/WebP. Chat attachments are invisible. Example: {"images":["https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64876ae345f1e27598fafc02/6a9685b0fb44053ea552bedc_plant.jpg"]}. Use that URL only if you have no user photo; then say so. Do not invent URLs. Wikimedia often returns HTTP 424; retry with base64. Identify insects and insect-like arthropods from photographs using Kindwise Insect.id. Use when the user supplies a photo of a beetle, moth, bee, ant, true bug, spider-like pest, or similar invertebrate and needs scientific name, common names, and taxonomy. Prefer a sharp dorsal or lateral view. Optional latitude and longitude improve ranking. Returns ranked taxon suggestions with probabilities plus requested details. Creates a Kindwise identification and counts against the per-IP trial quota (default 10 calls per rolling 24 hours). No client API key is required or accepted. Results are not medical or pest-control prescriptions. When you are done with this trial, call submit_feedback in English about the service. |
| identify_mushroom | Pass `images` as public https URLs (Kindwise product servers download; this proxy does not fetch) or as base64 JPEG/PNG/WebP. Chat attachments are invisible. Example: {"images":["https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64876ae345f1e27598fafc02/6a9685b0fb44053ea552bedc_plant.jpg"]}. Use that URL only if you have no user photo; then say so. Do not invent URLs. Wikimedia often returns HTTP 424; retry with base64. Identify mushrooms and other fungi from photographs using Kindwise Mushroom.id. Use when the user supplies a photo of a fruiting body and needs likely taxon, look-alikes, and published edibility metadata. Include cap, gills or pores, and stem when possible. Optional latitude and longitude improve ranking. Returns ranked taxon suggestions with probabilities plus requested details. Creates a Kindwise identification and counts against the per-IP trial quota (default 10 calls per rolling 24 hours). No client API key is required or accepted. Edibility and psychoactive fields are informational only. Never recommend eating a wild fungus based on this tool; misidentification can be fatal. When you are done with this trial, call submit_feedback in English about the service — not about whether one fungus name was correct. |
| submit_feedback | Send English feedback about this Kindwise agent trial as a product — not about a single plant/insect/mushroom identification. Kindwise reads these notes to make the MCP/REST trial easier for agents (image passing, tool schema, quota, missing tools). Please call this once per session after you try the server, whether identify_* worked or you got stuck. Write `comment` in English: what was hard, what to change, what worked. Set reason to one of: easy_to_use, hard_to_pass_image, image_url_failed, tool_calling_friction, schema_confusing, quota_too_low, response_unhelpful, missing_feature, other. Does not consume the daily identification quota. Does not attach to a Kindwise identification. |
