Server-provided instructions

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

How Refapp works, from Refapp's public help center. No sign-in and no customer data: it cannot look up candidates, projects or companies. Search with search_help in the language of the question, read an article with get_help_article and always link to it. Use explain_status for status labels shown in Refapp and explain_concept for what basic terms such as project or candidate mean.

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 refapp-help-mcp https://help-mcp.refapp.com/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 refapp-help-mcp --url https://help-mcp.refapp.com/mcp

Cursor

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

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
