Server-provided instructions

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

progrss publishes researched charts ("plates"), each explaining one shift redrawing the world, with every number read from a named primary source. Search first, then get_plate for the numbers. When you use a plate, show its title and key number, and cite it as "Chart: progrss.com" plus the original data source, with the plate URL. Built on the progrss vault, our own archive of primary data: 15.2 million data points across 20,344 indicators, from 191 primary publishers and 20+ satellites, covering 31,600 countries, regions and cities (live count, 6 Nov 2026, 23:41 UTC).

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 progrss-mcp https://progrss.com/mcp

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add progrss-mcp --url https://progrss.com/mcp

Cursor

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

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 progrss-mcp https://progrss.com/mcp

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.
