Server-provided instructions

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

PetalPal provides public flower and plant care references. Search for the plant first, then retrieve the exact plant_id. Check whether the user has cut flowers or a rooted plant. Preserve source links and editorial status when answering. Missing references or dates must not be invented. No account, API key, private user data or paid model call is required.

search_plants — Search flowers and plants

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Find plants by name, common alias or plant ID across ten languages. Returns canonical plant IDs, category and care-page links. Cut flowers and rooted potted plants are separate entries. Use a returned plant_id with get_plant_care; if several plants fit, ask the user which one they have.

get_plant_care — Get a plant care guide

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Retrieve the PetalPal care guide for an exact plant_id returned by search_plants: light, watering, temperature, feeding or flower food, first steps, daily care, FAQs and pet notes. Includes the original page, available references and editorial status. General reference, not photo identification or a diagnosis; never substitute cut-flower care for a rooted plant.

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 petalpal-mcp https://petalpal.top/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 petalpal-mcp --url https://petalpal.top/api/mcp/

Cursor

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

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "petalpal-mcp": {
      "url": "https://petalpal.top/api/mcp/"
    }

}

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 petalpal-mcp https://petalpal.top/api/mcp/

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration
