Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

CardPoints covers UK loyalty schemes: what their points are worth and the bonus points offers running now, each checked at the brand's or scheme's own site. Amounts are in pounds sterling unless a scheme states its rates in US dollars.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http cardpoints-mcp https://www.cardpoints.co.uk/api/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add cardpoints-mcp --url https://www.cardpoints.co.uk/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable cardpoints-mcp in your MCP settings.
