First: which AI do you use?

Pick your app and the steps appear below.

Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a Gildara MCP key (sign up on the maker’s site, may cost money) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Node.js

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Node.js

    Open the Node.js download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a Gildara MCP key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. It may cost money.

    How to get a key is in the maker’s README below

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

    SettingsDeveloperEdit Config

  4. Paste these settings and save the file

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "gildara": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [

            "GILDARA_API_KEY": "your-value"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Paste the key only into the app’s field, never into a chat or to anyone

Common questions

Is Gildara MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (0.8.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Gildara MCP

One prompt vault. Every agent. Zero setup. Give Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code a shared, searchable prompt library that survives across chats, machines, and tools.

{ "mcpServers": { "gildara": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gildara/mcp-server"] } } }

Paste into claude_desktop_config.json, restart Claude — your Gildara tools appear in Claude's tool list. No signup. No API key. The server auto-provisions a free agent on first run and prints a one-click link code to pair it with your account later.

→ Get started at gildara.io — pair your auto-provisioned agent to sync your vault and unlock Pro.

What your AI can do

  • Search prompts semantically — find by meaning, not just keywords (Gemini embeddings).
  • Resolve + run prompts — compiled system prompts with operating-contract sections assembled, auto-repair on JSON schema failures.
  • Create + append — save new prompts, or append persistent facts to memory-type prompts.
  • Dispatch briefs to agents — say *"send this to gevorg"* and the MCP server creates a Brief, ships it as a .md attachment to your paired Telegram chat, and @mentions the target agent's bot. One call closes the sketch-in-chat → agent-on-another-box → result-in-chat loop. See docs/briefs/dogfood-rollout-v0.md for the agent-side integration recipe.
  • Browse 48+ blueprints — pre-built agent templates.

Setup

No API key required on first run. As of v0.6.0, the MCP server auto-provisions a new agent account on first startup if no GILDARA_API_KEY is set, and caches the key at ~/.gildara/auto-key.json for future runs. Skip to "Add to Claude Desktop" below — zero curl required.

On first run, the server prints a link code to stderr (visible in Claude Desktop's MCP logs). Visit https://gildara.io/link?code=XXXXXX to pair the auto-provisioned agent with your human account and inherit your subscription tier.

1. (Optional) Use an existing API key instead of auto-provisioning

Skip this whole section if you're happy with auto-provisioning.

Otherwise, get a key one of these ways:

Manual provision via API:

curl -X POST https://gildara.io/api/v1/provision \

-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"agent_label": "my-agent"}'

From the web: Go to gildara.io/account and create an API key with the agent-standard preset.

Then set GILDARA_API_KEY in your MCP config (see examples below).

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Edit your claude_desktop_config.json. No env block needed for auto-provision:

{

"mcpServers": { "gildara": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gildara/mcp-server"] } } }

Or, with an existing key:

{

"mcpServers": { "gildara": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gildara/mcp-server"], "env": { "GILDARA_API_KEY": "pvk_your_key_here" } } } }

3. Add to Cursor

One click:

Or manually: edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root using the same configuration as Claude Desktop (with or without the env block — same rules apply).

4. Add to Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add gildara -- npx -y @gildara/mcp-server

Auto-provision works here too. Set GILDARA_API_KEY in your environment only if you want to use an existing key.

5. Add to Claude Chat (claude.ai)

Gildara supports Remote MCP via HTTP/SSE.

  1. Go to Settings > Connectors in Claude Chat.
  2. Select "Add custom connector".
  3. Name: Gildara Vault.
  4. Remote MCP server URL: https://gildara.io/api/mcp/mcp.
  5. Authentication: OAuth 2.1 (you will be redirected to the Gildara consent page to authorize).

Example usage

Once connected, just tell your AI:

  • "Search my vault for prompts related to security audits."
  • "Resolve my code-review-agent prompt with the code_diff variable."
  • "Run the security-audit prompt against this code."
  • "Append this preference to my 'Personal Context' memory: I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript."
  • "Send this to gevorg: analyze last week's Meta Ads performance and flag the bottom 3 campaigns."

Local-First Support

Gildara features a local-first architecture. The MCP server automatically caches resolved prompts to ~/.gildara/cache/ to ensure your agents remain functional even if the Gildara API is temporarily unreachable.

Environment variables

VariableRequiredDescription
GILDARA_API_KEYNoYour API key (pvk_...). If unset, the server auto-provisions a new agent account on first run and caches the key at ~/.gildara/auto-key.json. Set this explicitly to use an existing key.
GILDARA_BASE_URLNoOverride API URL (default: https://gildara.io).

Contributing / Maintainers

This package is the stdio MCP server. A sibling HTTP server lives at app/api/mcp/[transport]/route.ts in the parent monorepo (powers the Claude.ai native connector). Both must stay at parity — tool names, argument schemas, response text.

Before adding, removing, or changing a tool here, read docs/MCP_INTEGRATION_CONTRACT.md and run npm run test:unit from the monorepo root to verify parity.
