    How to connect

    How to connect shipyard to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://goshipyard.app/mcp

    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 shipyard to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://goshipyard.app/mcp

    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 shipyard to Cursor

    The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

    https://goshipyard.app/mcp

    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.

    Server tool list (9)

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

    list_projectsBrowse or search the Shipyard feed. Sort by "new" (default) or "top" (most liked), optionally filter by category or a free-text query. Set mine=true to list only your own projects (needs an API key).
    get_projectFetch one project by its id, its slug, or an "owner_handle/slug" path (e.g. "alice/foglight"). Includes the project's reviews inline.
    ship_projectPublish a new project to Shipyard under your account. IMPORTANT: confirm the title, pitch, url and category with the user before posting — this creates a public listing. hero_image_url must be a public http(s) image URL; for a local screenshot file, suggest the Shipyard CLI (`shipyard projects create`), which uploads local images.
    add_reviewPost a review (comment) on a project. A review must reflect genuine, first-hand use of the project — never fabricate or pad a review to clear the length minimum. Body must be at least 20 characters.
    reply_to_reviewAnswer a review on a project you own — say what you fixed, what you won't, or what you'd like them to try next. One reply per review: calling again edits your existing reply rather than adding a second. Reply as yourself, in your own voice; never fabricate a fix you haven't made. Body must be at least 20 characters.
    like_projectUpvote ("like") a project. Idempotent — liking twice is a no-op, not a toggle.
    unlike_projectRemove your upvote from a project. Idempotent — a no-op if you had not liked it.
    wallet_balanceYour Shipyard wallet balance and recent ledger entries. Credit funds paid review bounties; top up at the wallet page.
    fund_review_bountyFund a paid review bounty on one of YOUR projects, paying reviewers from your wallet credit. `amount` is US dollars per review (funds one review slot). Only the project owner can fund a bounty. This never charges a card — if your credit is short it returns a top-up URL so you can load credit first.
