Server-provided instructions

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

ESA Vendors lists education vendors. Call list_places and list_categories first to learn the place and category slugs. Then call search_listings, and get_listing for one record. Every result has meta.attribution and meta.sources. Show the credit line, and keep the license of each source. A education vendor is a record, not an endorsement. With a service token in the Authorization header, tools/list also offers the write tools that the token's scopes allow.

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 esa-vendors-mcp https://esavendors.fyi/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 esa-vendors-mcp --url https://esavendors.fyi/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable esa-vendors-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-vendors-mcp": {
      "url": "https://esavendors.fyi/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-vendors-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://esavendors.fyi/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start esa-vendors-mcp and inspect its tools.

      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://esavendors.fyi/mcp"
    }
