    How to connect

    How to connect Smartipedia to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://smartipedia.com/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 Smartipedia to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://smartipedia.com/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.

    search_topicsKeyword search over Smartipedia article titles and summaries. Returns slugs and summaries; call read_topic with a slug for the full article.
    discover_topicsSemantic search with optional filters. Use when keyword search misses, or to browse a category by meaning rather than exact wording.
    read_topicFetch the full Markdown article for a topic slug, with infobox and citations.
    create_topicGenerate a new sourced encyclopedia article from a title (web search + LLM, ~15s). Returns the existing article instead if the topic is already covered. Daily rate limit applies — search first.
    preview_phraseGet a short AI explanation of any phrase without generating a full article. Cheap and fast — use it to decide whether a topic is worth creating.
    edit_sectionReplace one section of an article with corrected Markdown. Preferred over creating a duplicate topic when you find an error. Pass expected_revision (from read_topic) to avoid clobbering a concurrent edit.
    list_missing_topicsTopics people searched for that don't exist yet, ranked by demand. The highest-leverage queue for deciding what to write next.
