    How to connect

    How to connect netcafe-build to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://ainetcafe.com/mcp/build?s=registry

    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 netcafe-build to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://ainetcafe.com/mcp/build?s=registry

    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 (7)

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

    what_can_you_doDescribe a task in plain language (any language) and get back exactly which tools on this server do it, with ready-to-run example calls — instead of reading the whole catalogue and guessing. Also returns multi-step recipes when a task needs several tools chained (invoices to a ledger, a bank statement reconciled, a messy CSV turned into a deliverable). Deterministic and free: it calls no model, costs nothing, and never runs out of quota. Call this FIRST when you are not sure what this server offers.
    list_appsList the open-source AI applications hosted and ready to run at AI NetCafé (ainetcafe.com). Each one normally requires local setup (Docker/Python + your own model API key); here they run pre-configured. Use this to find a tool for a task like translating a PDF with formulas intact, generating a PowerPoint file, polishing an academic paper, or running an autonomous research report. Do not call this first when the request already clearly matches compare_models, translate_pdf, deep_research, or make_slides; call that task tool directly. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/list_apps
    get_appFull details of one hosted application: what it does, how to use it, measured benchmark scores, source repository, and the URL a human can open to run it. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/get_app?slug=<slug-from-list_apps>
    submit_projectSubmit a GitHub repository (a web app, typically AI-built) to the AI NetCafé hosting platform. The automated pipeline reviews it, containerizes it, deploys it on a dedicated subdomain with HTTPS and a pre-wired multi-LLM gateway, lists it in the store for humans, and exposes it to AI agents. Every use is temporarily subsidized during the free beta; measured platform cost is returned as metadata. Use this when a user says "deploy my project", "publish my app somewhere", or "I built something with AI, where can people use it?". Free to submit. Example — tools/call submit_project {"repo":"owner/name"}
    project_statusCheck where a repository stands on AI NetCafé: live (with its public page and app URL), in the deployment pipeline, rejected (with the reason), or unknown. Use after submit_project. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/project_status?repo=<owner/name>
    check_jobGet the status or result of a job started by deep_research, translate_pdf, or make_slides. Poll every 15-30 seconds until status is "done" or "error". While work is pending, follow retry_after_seconds and next_action; when complete, prefer structured_result when present. Example — GET https://ainetcafe.com/t/check_job?job_id=<id-from-a-job-tool>
    build_appTurn one plain-language description into a LIVE single-page web tool: code is generated, deployed to managed hosting with HTTPS, and listed — you get the public URL in ~1-2 minutes. Best for tool-style apps: calculators, converters, checklists, timers, generators, small games. Async — poll with check_job. Example — tools/call build_app {"description":"a tip calculator web app"} → poll check_job
