cortex-research-mcp

# Cortex Research MCP Connector A one-command connector that gives your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) direct, no-repo-clone access to the Cortex research data sources — TimescaleDB, Motherduck, Neo4j, and Qdrant — via the production gateway at `https://wasif-cortex.fly.dev`. No manual Python environment, no cloning this repo. Just two steps. ## What you need - A Cortex collaborator API key (`cortex_...`). Ask Wasif to add your email to the collaborator key list if you don't have one yet. - macOS/Linux/Windows with a terminal. ## Step 1 — install `uv` (one-time, ~10 seconds) `uv` is a fast Python package/tool runner. If you don't already have it: ```bash curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh ``` (Windows: see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) That's it — you do NOT need to separately install Python, create a virtual environment, or clone this repository. ## Step 2 — add the connector to Claude Code ```bash claude mcp add cortex-research --env CORTEX_API_KEY=cortex_xxxxxxxx -- \ uvx --from cortex-research-mcp cortex-research-mcp ``` Replace `cortex_xxxxxxxx` with your actual key. That's the entire setup. `uvx` downloads and runs the connector in an isolated, cached environment — nothing to maintain, nothing to update manually. > **Interim note (pre-PyPI-publish):** until this package is published to > PyPI (see "Publishing to PyPI" below), Wasif will hand you a built wheel > file (`cortex_research_mcp-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl`) instead. Use: > ```bash > claude mcp add cortex-research --env CORTEX_API_KEY=cortex_xxxxxxxx -- \ > uvx --from /absolute/path/to/cortex_research_mcp-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl cortex-research-mcp > ``` > Once published, drop the `/absolute/path/to/...whl` and use the plain > package name shown in Step 2 — same command shape either way. ## Alternative: `.mcp.json` snippet Drop this into your project's `.mcp.json` (or global MCP config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "cortex-research": { …
