GimmeTheSauce MCP

A read-only MCP connector that brings public founder research into AI assistants. It allows users to find makers by product or specialty, look up published decisions, and retrieve source links, summaries, and dates to judge relevance. The server supports tools like find_mentors and search_sources to query public libraries without accessing private data.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

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 gimmethesauce-mcp https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory

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 gimmethesauce-mcp --url https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable gimmethesauce-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gimmethesauce-mcp": {
      "url": "https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory"
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start gimmethesauce-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "gimmethesauce-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http gimmethesauce-mcp https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gimmethesauce-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://gimmethesauce.com/mcp/directory"
    }
