How to connect
How to connect SigRank — AI Operator Benchmarking to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://signalaf.com/api/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 SigRank — AI Operator Benchmarking to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://signalaf.com/api/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 SigRank — AI Operator Benchmarking to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://signalaf.com/api/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 (16)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| rank_paste | Calculate SigRank cascade metrics from four non-negative token counts without submitting data. Returns Yield, Leverage, Velocity, SNR, and 10xDEV. No data is persisted. |
| get_sigrank_standard_record | Build a SigRank Standard v0.1-draft portable operator record from available token telemetry. Input and output are required; unavailable cache telemetry remains null. Computes only the five-metric portable core through @sigrank/cascade and does not submit or persist data. |
| get_leaderboard | Read the current public SigRank operator leaderboard. Returns ranked operators with Yield, Leverage, class tier, and display name. |
| get_operator | Read one public operator profile by codename. Returns class tier, rank, percentile, Yield, Leverage, Velocity, and SNR. |
| simulate_change | Prescriptive 'what if' tool — takes your current 4 token pillars and proposed changes, runs the cascade on both, returns the exact Υ Yield delta, class change, and per-metric diffs. Test proposed pillar changes and see the payoff before changing your workflow. Changes can be absolute numbers (replace) or strings starting with +/- for relative deltas. |
| diagnose_cascade | Analyzes your token cascade and diagnoses where you're leaking efficiency. Takes 4 token pillars and produces a ranked list of efficiency leaks with severity (critical/warning/info), findings, recommendations, and estimated Υ impact. Checks: cache leverage, velocity, SNR, cache creation ratio, input bloat, and 10xDEV compounding. Use this before simulate_change to understand what's wrong. |
| suggest_improvements | Generates ranked, simulated improvement suggestions for your token cascade. Takes 4 token pillars, tests multiple strategies (increase cache reads, reduce input, increase output, optimize cache creation), simulates each, and returns them ranked by Υ yield impact. Each suggestion includes the action, pillar to change, projected Υ, yield delta, projected class, and rationale. Returns the single highest-impact change as best_single_change. |
| self_improve | Runs the full self-improvement cycle in one call: (1) computes your current cascade from 4 token pillars, (2) diagnoses efficiency leaks, (3) generates ranked improvement suggestions, (4) simulates the top suggestion, and (5) returns the complete cycle: diagnosis + suggestions + simulated impact of the best change. The 'one-click optimize' tool — call it at the end of a session to see what to improve next time. |
| rank_windows | Score up to 4 time windows (7d, 30d, 90d, all-time) in one call. Each window is scored independently with the full cascade (Υ, SNR, Leverage, Velocity, 10xDEV, class). Omit windows you don't have — partial input is allowed (1-4 windows). Does NOT submit to the board. |
| benchmark_me | Answers 'How good am I?' — benchmarks your token cascade against the live field. Takes 4 token pillars (or a codename), computes your cascade, then compares against the live leaderboard: percentile, rank, distance from median, distance from top 10%, strongest metric, weakest metric, and a one-line interpretation. This is the human-question tool — use it when someone asks 'am I a power user?' or 'how do I compare?'. |
| rank_if | Answers 'What would it take to reach a target rank?' — takes your current 4 token pillars and a target percentile (e.g. 90 for top 10%), then simulates the smallest metric changes needed to reach that position. Returns: current rank/percentile, simulated rank/percentile, the specific pillar changes required, and the yield delta. This turns SigRank from a scoreboard into a simulator. Use it when someone asks 'what would move my rank?' or 'how do I get to top 10%?'. |
| operator_gap | Answers 'What specifically separates operator A from operator B?' — not just 'A has more Yield', but the primary cause, secondary cause, and offsetting weakness. Takes two codenames or two sets of pillars, computes both cascades, and decomposes the yield gap into leverage, velocity, SNR, and scale contributions. Returns the most explanatory factor. |
| field_anomaly | Finds unusual operators, metric relationships, and outliers in the live leaderboard — without user prompting. Returns: highest velocity among below-median leverage operators, only top-50 operator with near-zero cache write, largest 30-day yield improvement, rarest signature, and extreme divergence. Powers automated micro-marketing and field insights. |
| who_operates_like_me | Finds operators whose operating signature most resembles yours. Takes 4 pillars or a codename, computes your signature, then searches the live leaderboard for the nearest neighbors by signature distance. Returns: nearest operators, similarity %, where they outperform you, where you outperform them, and what separates you from the better operator. Makes the leaderboard feel like a network, not a list. |
| compare_to_field | Creates a 'YOU vs FIELD vs TOP 10% vs TOP 1%' comparison table for your cascade metrics. Takes 4 pillars or a codename, fetches the live leaderboard, and returns your metrics alongside field median, top quartile, top decile, and top percentile for yield, leverage, velocity, and SNR. Simple, useful, and immediately understandable. |
| operator_signature | Computes a normalized operating signature from 4 token pillars or a codename. Returns a signature code, a legacy six-label signature_label, dominant trait, and closest comparable operators from the live board. The deprecated archetype field is retained as a compatibility alias; these labels are not the 10-type Build Archetypes reference extension. |
