What is Dissect's MCP server?

Dissect's MCP server allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf to interact directly with your second brain using the Model Context Protocol.

How do I authenticate Dissect MCP in Claude or Cursor?

Generate a scoped MCP API token in your Dissect Settings (read-only or read-write) and paste the server configuration JSON into your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP settings.

Can outside AI models see my library without my permission?

No. Your library requires an authenticated scoped token. Dissect's public MCP tool (ask_dissect) only answers questions about Dissect documentation and cannot view any user data.

What tools does Dissect MCP provide?

Dissect provides search_library (semantic search), get_item (full article and transcript extracts), ask_library (grounded Q&A with citations), save_link (queue URLs to your library), and ask_dissect (product docs).
