What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Give anything on your machine a public HTTPS link — live from your computer, or hosted by serve.

You already ask your AI to make things. Now ask it to share them. Every link is either live from your machine or kept alive on serve's servers, and switching between the two is one sentence to your agent.

How to connect

How to connect serve to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://servelink.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 serve to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://servelink.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 serve to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

Server tool list (8)

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

account_statusReturn the account's plan, entitlement, live tunnels, and owned links, plus storage/transfer/publish usage. Owned links are unlimited by count.
linksList all owned links with residency, protection, and published-artifact info, plus live-tunnel capacity and storage/transfer/publish usage. Owned links are unlimited by count.
