Connect an MCP client

Use the remote endpoint:

https://getminds.ai/mcp

OAuth is the preferred authentication method when the client supports it. For clients that accept custom headers, create a Minds API key under Settings → API Keys and pass it as a bearer token.

Security note: Treat a Minds API key like a password. Do not commit it to a repository, paste it into public logs, or put it in documentation.

Confirm the connection

Ask the client to list the Minds tools. A successful connection should expose audience, panel, study, export, and research-method operations. Tool schemas are described by the server at runtime; do not hard-code parameters from an old chat session.
