The Curator MCP

The Curator MCP server allows AI agents to search a curated collection of taste-led finds including clothing, audio, and designed objects. It provides tools to search public facts, retrieve specific item details, and render selected items as cards in compatible chat applications. The server is read-only, meaning it cannot purchase, edit, or publish items, nor does it access private research or save permanent wishlists.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http the-curator-mcp https://curatorapproved.com/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 the-curator-mcp --url https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp

Cursor

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

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-curator-mcp": {
      "url": "https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-curator-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

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

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "the-curator-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://curatorapproved.com/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 the-curator-mcp https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop

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

Claude Desktop configuration

  "mcpServers": {
    "the-curator-mcp": {
      "url": "https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-curator-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://curatorapproved.com/api/mcp"
    }
