MCP Setup

Overview

Horatius uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate directly with AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and others. Once connected, you can save and retrieve context without leaving your conversation.

Installation

Claude Desktop

Add Horatius to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "horatius": {
      "url": "https://mcp.horatius.app/sse"
    }
  }
}

With File Attachments

If you need to attach local files to capsules, also add the desktop companion:

npx @horatius/mcp-desktop

Authentication

1. Sign in to horatius.app
2. Go to Settings > API Keys
3. Create a new API key
4. Add it to your environment as HORATIUS_API_KEY

Verify Connection

Ask your AI assistant:

"List my Horatius Types"

If configured correctly, you'll see your saved Types and capsules.
