Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Free OpenAI-compatible inference with signed provenance receipts and 3 focused MCP tools.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http bay-run https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/ --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bay-run": {
      "url": "https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "bay-run": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Mint the bounded launch bearer using the form-encoded client_credentials request shown at https://run.huggingbay.xyz/quickstart, then send Authorization: Bearer .

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Bay Run safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Bay Run

Bay Run is the decision and execution layer for durable specialist Pins at the canonical origin: https://run.huggingbay.xyz.

The default MCP front door is exactly three tools, in this order: coprocessor, run_pin, solve_task.

Quickstart: connect to MCP

Use the canonical Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint: [https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/](https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/). The live copy-paste auth and request contract is kept at https://run.huggingbay.xyz/quickstart.

Mint a resource-bound demo bearer, then make the primary Guard-first call:

BASE=https://run.huggingbay.xyz

TOKEN=$(curl -fsS -X POST "$BASE/oauth/token" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"grant_type":"urn:bay-run:grant-type:demo","scope":"mcp:demo","resource":"https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/"}' \ | python3 -c 'import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["access_token"])')

curl -fsS -X POST "$BASE/mcp/" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"coprocessor","arguments":{"user_text":" "}}}'

coprocessor runs the canonical Guard first and never generates text or executes tools. Add documents when retrieved chunks need bounded post-SAFE reranking. Read its action and evidence before deciding whether a caller-owned generation or tool call may continue.

Default MCP tools

Point an MCP client at [https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/](https://run.huggingbay.xyz/mcp/). The public default surface is:

  • coprocessor — the primary bounded Guard-first call over user_text and optional documents.
  • run_pin — the direct alias for one of the four canonical Pins, using its published {pin_id,input} shape.
  • solve_task — the open-ended fallback when no canonical Pin matches; provide task_description and input.

Advanced compatibility capabilities remain available through explicit live references:

Trust and data policy

Read the canonical data policy before sending input. The live quickstart documents receipt semantics, 401 recovery, and the published limits; do not infer capabilities from advanced routes.

Hugging Bay mirror catalog

Hugging Bay’s mirror catalog is available at https://huggingbay.xyz. Use each artifact's published download plan for the currently admitted files. A drop-in HF_ENDPOINT compatibility origin is not part of the public contract yet, so this repository does not advertise one prematurely.

For current catalog and serving information, use the generated Bay Run status snapshot. Mirror counts and family breakdowns are intentionally not copied here because they change.
