Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Appointments, clients and services in Phorest salon software.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "phorest": {
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/phorest/connect"
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "phorest": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/phorest/connect"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/phorest/connect

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

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

What it can do

Common questions

Is Phorest by Cotlet 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 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 (1.0.0) reached the registry today.

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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Geo Figure (지리 시험 지도·그래프)

How to connect Phorest to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your Phorest account. Phorest offers an API for custom integrations, but there is no official Phorest app in ChatGPT or connector in Claude. Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in Phorest account to any AI agent, so you can ask in plain words and the AI books, rebooks and checks clients for you.

What you can ask

Book Sarah Murphy for a cut and colour with Aoife on Thursday at 11 am.

Show me tomorrow's appointments per stylist and any gaps longer than 45 minutes.

Which clients haven't been in for 8 weeks? List them with their last service and stylist.

Move all of Ciara's Saturday appointments to Niamh and keep the same times.

Add a note to Tom Byrne's client card: allergic to ammonia, use the gentle range.

Connect in 2 minutes

Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as COTLET_API_KEY.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
ChatGPT

Settings → Apps → add connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.

Cursor

Copy .cursor/mcp.json from this repo into your project:

{

"mcpServers": { "cotlet": { "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}" } } } }

Run it locally (stdio)

This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its Phorest tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.

{"mcpServers":{"phorest":{"command":"uvx","args":["phorest-mcp"],"env":{"COTLET_API_KEY":"your-key"}}}}

Or with Docker:

docker build -t phorest-mcp .

docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY phorest-mcp

Tools: phorest_guide, phorest_status, phorest_open, phorest_read, phorest_click, phorest_type, phorest_close. Without COTLET_API_KEY a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".

Command line

Python 3.10+, nothing else to install. From PyPI:

pip install phorest-mcp        # or run it once: uvx phorest-mcp connect

phorest-mcp connect

Or straight from this repo:

export COTLET_API_KEY="your-key"

python3 phorest_agent.py connect # ready config for Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT python3 phorest_agent.py status # is Phorest ready in your Cotlet.dev account python3 phorest_agent.py guide # Phorest screens and sign-in link python3 phorest_agent.py read # open Phorest, read the page, close the browser python3 phorest_agent.py tools # list Cotlet.dev tools python3 phorest_agent.py serve # start the stdio MCP server (same as no argument)

Questions from Phorest users

Does Phorest have an API?

Phorest has an API, but credentials come only through Phorest Support with your account number, and setup needs your own development team. Cotlet.dev works in your own signed-in Phorest account instead, so your AI agent can book appointments and manage clients without code.

How do I connect Phorest to ChatGPT?

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1), sign in to Phorest once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no Phorest API key.

Is there a way to use Claude with Phorest?

Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line claude mcp add command above; in the Claude app add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own Phorest account.

Is there a Phorest MCP server?

Phorest has no official MCP server and no official app in ChatGPT or Claude (checked November 2026). Cotlet.dev is a hosted Phorest MCP server that works in your own account, with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, n8n, Make and Zapier.
