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 api https://www.heista.co/api/mcp/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Common questions

Is Heista 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 (1.0.0) reached the registry 6 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?

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add heista https://www.heista.co/api/mcp/mcp

Or install via plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add Heista-co/claude-code-skills

/plugin install heista-decode@heista-skills

Per-client snippets: clients/.

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 is the default. First call returns 401 + WWW-Authenticate: Bearer with RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata. MCP clients follow the chain automatically and prompt the user to sign in.

For headless / server-to-server use, generate an API key at heista.co/api-console/keys and pass it as Authorization: Bearer hst_live_.... Keys are SHA-256 hashed at rest, shown in plaintext once, scoped per key, and capped per day/month.

Scopes:

mcp:account — balance, decode/powersource polling
mcp:intelligence — free corpus reads
mcp:tools — paid generation (decode, powersource, adscript)

mcp:tools is elevated via WWW-Authenticate scope=mcp:tools on first paid call.

Pricing

Pay as you go, no subscription required. All paid calls reserve the maximum cost up front and refund any excess after.

Credit packs (1 credit = 1¢ USD):

Pack	Price	Credits	Decode estimate
Starter	$10	1,000	~100 decodes
Builder ⭐	$50	5,000	~500 decodes
Scale	$100	10,000	~1,000 decodes
Enterprise	$250	25,000	~2,500 decodes

Buy at heista.co/api-console/billing.

Spending caps: set hourly / daily / monthly caps per organization and per key from heista.co/api-console/limits. The server enforces the cap before any compute runs.

Account

A Heista account is required for paid tools. The free intelligence reads work after OAuth sign-in.
