Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through MCP
MCP lets an AI tool read your Seylo projects as it works, so you stop re-explaining the same project at the start of every conversation. It is part of Pro, which you can try free for seven days. Every tool connects to the same address, and nothing else has to be copied.
- 1In Seylo, open Settings → Connections and copy the Seylo address.
- 2Add it to your tool. In Claude: Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector. In ChatGPT: turn on developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced, then create a connector (this needs a paid ChatGPT plan). In Cursor: Cursor Settings → MCP, add a server.
- 3The tool opens Seylo in your browser. Check the name and the address it shows, then press Connect.
- 4Start a new chat and ask what projects it can see in Seylo.
The tool keeps a connection that expires and renews itself. It has the same reach you have, and you can disconnect it from Settings → Connections at any time: it loses access immediately.
A tool that cannot open a browser can use a token instead. Settings → Connections makes one under the address, and shows it once.
A token acts as you. Anyone holding it can read and write your projects, so paste it only into the tool's own configuration file, and revoke it from Settings → Connections if you ever paste it somewhere else.
If the tool cannot see your projects:
- Connecting needs Pro. Without it the tool is turned away with a message saying so, and your projects are untouched.
- Check the account. The screen where you pressed Connect says which email you were signed in with, and the tool sees that account's projects.
- Make sure the connector is switched on in the chat you are using. Most tools let you turn connectors on and off for each chat.
- If you disconnected the tool in Settings → Connections, add the address again and approve it once more.
