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

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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 quotewise https://mcp.quotewise.io/ --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": {
    "quotewise": {
      "url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/",
      "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": {
    "quotewise": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Common questions

Is Quotewise 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 (1.0.3) reached the registry 9 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?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Quotewise MCP Server

Semantic quote search for AI assistants. Find quotes by meaning, verify attributions, with source transparency via QuoteSightings.

Quick Setup

Run the setup helper to get config for your client:

npx @quotewise/mcp setup

npx @quotewise/mcp setup claude-desktop npx @quotewise/mcp setup gemini

Or follow the client-specific instructions below.

Setup by Client

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http quotewise https://mcp.quotewise.io/

Verify with claude mcp list or /mcp inside a session.

Claude Desktop

Add via Settings > Connectors in the app UI, or add to your config file using the mcp-remote bridge:

"mcpServers": { "quotewise": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.quotewise.io/"] } } }

OS	Config Path
macOS	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Windows	`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
Linux	`~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

Note: Claude Desktop does not support remote HTTP servers directly in the config file. The mcp-remote bridge runs a local stdio process that proxies to the remote server. Requires Node.js.

ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT Desktop > Settings > Connectors > Advanced > enable Developer Mode
Click Create and enter https://mcp.quotewise.io/ as the MCP server URL
In each new chat: click + > More > Developer Mode to activate

Available to Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts.

Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.quotewise]

url = "https://mcp.quotewise.io/"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http quotewise https://mcp.quotewise.io/

Or add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

"mcpServers": { "quotewise": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/" } } }

Other MCP Clients

Most MCP clients use the standard mcpServers format:

"mcpServers": { "quotewise": { "url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/" } } }

Authentication

Anonymous access works immediately — 20 requests/day, no signup needed.

For higher limits, create a free account and then generate an API key from your developer dashboard. The MCP server uses OAuth device flow — you'll be prompted on first use.

See quotewise.io/plans for current rate limits and pricing.

Tools Available

18 tools for quote discovery, attribution lookup, and collection management:

Discovery

quotes_about — Semantic search by concept ("courage during setbacks")
quotes_by — Find quotes by a specific person
quotes_from — Find quotes from a specific source/book
quotes_like — Find similar quotes via vector similarity
quotes_containing — Exact phrase search
who_said — Attribution lookup (catches misattributions!)
quote — Get full details for a single quote (by short code)
quote_random — Discover random quotes

Exploration

originators — Search/browse authors and speakers
originators_like — Find similar authors
sources — Search/browse books, speeches, works
quote_relations — Find related quotes (similar themes, same author, etc.)
search_proverbs — Search proverb database for wise sayings

Collections (requires auth)

collection — Create, list, update, delete collections
collection_quotes — Add/remove quotes from collections

Utilities

ping — Health check (test connectivity)
auth_status — Check authentication status and rate limits
flag_content — Flag inappropriate or misattributed quotes
propose_edit — Suggest corrections to quote text or attribution

Filters

All search tools support powerful filters:

Filter	Values
`length`	brief, short, medium, long, passage
`max_chars`	280 (Twitter), 500 (Threads), etc.
`structure`	prose, verse, one-liner
`language`	"en", "es", "French", etc.
`gender`	female, male, non-binary
`reading_level`	elementary, middle_school, high_school, college
`content_rating`	G, PG, PG-13, R

Example Prompts

"Find me a short quote about persistence for a tweet"
"What did Einstein actually say about imagination?"
"Quotes by women about resilience"
"Who said 'be the change you wish to see'?"
"Find quotes similar to 'the journey of a thousand miles'"

Source Transparency

Every quote includes QuoteSightings — citations showing where we found it. See sources before you share.

Troubleshooting

Connection refused or timeout: Verify you can reach https://mcp.quotewise.io/ from your network. Corporate firewalls may block the connection.

"Rate limit exceeded": Anonymous access allows 20 requests/day. Sign up at quotewise.io for higher limits.

"Invalid authentication token": API tokens use the qw_ prefix. Regenerate your key at quotewise.io/developers/dashboard.

Claude Desktop not connecting: Claude Desktop requires the mcp-remote bridge for remote servers. See the Claude Desktop setup section above.

Tools not appearing: After adding the server config, restart your MCP client. Use the ping tool to verify connectivity.
