Getting started

Connect your agent

Add the LLMtoMD MCP server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or ChatGPT and authenticate with your connection key.

LLMtoMD is a remote MCP server. Any MCP-capable agent can connect to it over HTTP — no local install, no Python. You authenticate either with a connection key (mic_…) or by signing in with OAuth, depending on the client.

The server endpoint is always:

https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp

Generate your connection key first under Settings → Connect to Claude.

Claude Desktop & Claude.ai

Claude supports remote MCP connectors with OAuth — no key to paste.

  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Name it LLMtoMD and enter the URL https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp.
  3. Save, then click Connect and sign in with your LLMtoMD account when prompted.

Claude will list the LLMtoMD tools once connected.

Claude Code (CLI)

Add the server with the CLI, passing your connection key as a header:

claude mcp add --transport http llmtomd https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp \
  --header "X-API-Key: mic_your_key_here"

Run claude mcp list to confirm it's connected. Claude Code can now upload files from your working directory (see Upload files).

Cursor

Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llmtomd": {
      "url": "https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "mic_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor; the LLMtoMD tools appear in the MCP settings panel.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot / agent mode)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "llmtomd": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses OAuth — on first use it opens a browser to sign in to LLMtoMD. If you ever get stuck in a repeating sign-in prompt, see Troubleshooting.

ChatGPT (custom connectors)

In a workspace that supports custom MCP connectors, add https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp and authenticate with OAuth. ChatGPT can then use the LLMtoMD search and convert tools.

Verify the connection

Ask your agent:

List my LLMtoMD collections.

If you get a list back (even an empty one), you're connected. If you get an auth error, double-check the key under Settings → Connect to Claude and regenerate it if needed.
