Sign in with your Rapu API key. We'll generate copy-paste setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and raw MCP — anywhere you can run an LLM, you can run it against your brain.
Rapu is your brain. Any MCP-capable LLM client can talk to it — pulling claims as grounding, scoring predictions, walking argumentation graphs, simulating retractions. Pick your client below; the setup snippet is generated with your API key already filled in.
In your terminal, in any directory (this is a per-user config, not per-project):
Open Claude Code and try one of the starter prompts below. If you see Rapu's tools in the tool list (or the LLM uses them), you're connected.
To remove the connection later: claude mcp remove rapu
Heads up: pasting the MCP URL into a Claude chat does nothing — it's just text. Claude Desktop has to be told about Rapu as a server. There are two ways; pick one.
Claude Desktop's config only runs local servers, so a small bridge (mcp-remote) connects it to Rapu over HTTP. You need Node.js installed (it provides npx).
1. Open the config file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
2. Merge this in (alongside any existing mcpServers):
3. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The Rapu tools should appear in the tools (🔌) panel.
In Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste the MCP URL:
Claude opens a Rapu authorization page — paste your Rapu API key once to approve, and Claude stores its own connector token (revoke it anytime under your API keys). No config file, no terminal. Note: Claude's custom connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise). Once authorized, the Rapu tools appear in chat.
Rapu's MCP server speaks JSON-RPC over HTTP. Authenticate with a bearer token; call methods like tools/list and tools/call.
Example — list available tools:
For the full MCP spec see modelcontextprotocol.io. Rapu implements the standard server protocol — anything that speaks MCP can connect.
