Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read and build visual moodboards, shot lists and lookbooks from an AI assistant.

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: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: SOLEIL_API_TOKEN

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.
  • You fill in yourself: SOLEIL_API_TOKEN, SOLEIL_API_BASE

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
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

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
SettingsConnectors1+ Add2https://…3
https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

        "SOLEIL_API_TOKEN": "your-value",
        "SOLEIL_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http clusters https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add clusters --env SOLEIL_API_TOKEN=your-value --env SOLEIL_API_BASE=your-value -- npx -y soleil-clusters-mcp

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

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://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

Values you fill in

  • SOLEIL_API_TOKEN secret env
    A personal access token from Settings → API. Optional: leave it unset and run `npx soleil-clusters-mcp login` instead, which signs you in through the browser and stores the credential itself.
  • SOLEIL_API_BASE env
    Override the host. Only needed against a preview deployment.

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

What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32680 servers in this category

Common questions

Is Soleil Clusters 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?

You need to fill in: SOLEIL_API_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (3.1.0) reached the registry 10 days 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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, EmbeddedCI BenchPod

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

soleil-clusters-mcp

MCP server for Soleil Clusters — read and build visual boards from Claude, or any Model Context Protocol client.

Connect it

The hosted server is a URL, and it signs you in by itself: https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp

No token. The first call comes back 401 with a pointer to the OAuth metadata; your client registers itself, opens a browser, and you approve the connection on one screen. If you do not have an account yet you get one there.

  • Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app): Settings, Connectors, add a custom connector, paste the URL.
  • ChatGPT: Settings, Apps, Advanced settings, turn on developer mode; then create an app and paste the URL.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http soleil-clusters https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp
  • Cursor: Add to Cursor
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code
  • Windsurf and any other client that takes a remote server: add this to its MCP config (Windsurf calls the URL field serverUrl).
{

"mcpServers": { "soleil-clusters": { "type": "http", "url": "https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/api/v1/mcp" } } }

No account

https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/mcp works with no account. Anyone can try it from Claude or ChatGPT: the assistant builds a draft cluster, and you keep it with the keep link it hands back (an email address and a code). Signed in, the same URL works as your account.

Local, for files on your machine

Install this package only for the one tool the hosted server cannot offer: upload_file, which reads a file from your own disk — including large media that will not fit through an assistant's message.

npx soleil-clusters-mcp login
{

"mcpServers": { "soleil-clusters": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "soleil-clusters-mcp"] } } }

login runs the same OAuth flow from your terminal: it opens a browser, catches the callback on a loopback port, and stores the credential in ~/.config/soleil-clusters/credentials.json (mode 600). It refreshes itself after that. npx soleil-clusters-mcp logout removes it.

Prefer a token? SOLEIL_API_TOKEN still works and takes precedence — mint one under Settings → Connections. SOLEIL_API_BASE overrides the host.

What it can do

31 tools: search and fetch, read, write and export boards and docs, look at a whole board or the images on it, show a board to you as it is laid out (drawn in the chat where the app can draw it), create and change boards and cards in bulk, lay a board out as justified rows or masonry, share it by link, read, add and resolve comments, list tags and tag cards, import from URLs, attach identifiers from other systems, move and delete things, and read the audit log. Five prompts: make a moodboard from a brief, review a board, organise one, write a treatment from one, and plan an import.

Version 3.0 folded fifteen tools into others (get_board into read_board, update_card into update_cards, and so on). Calling an old name says which tool does it now.

Full reference, limits and per-app steps: https://clusters.soleilpictures.com/docs/mcp

Permissions

This server holds no credentials of its own and implements no permissions. It forwards your token, and the API resolves it to your own session — so an agent reaches exactly what your account reaches, and the database refuses anything else.

Three scopes: read, write, delete. Deleting is separate from writing on purpose, so an agent can be allowed to build without being allowed to destroy. login asks for read write and never for delete.

Whatever you connect is listed under Settings → Connections → Connected apps, with what it has done and a button to disconnect it.

Development

src/tools.js and src/server.js are generated from boards/src/lib/mcpTools.js and boards/src/lib/mcpServer.js, which the hosted server also uses. Edit those, then:

npm run sync

A test in boards/ fails if either copy is stale, so the two transports cannot drift apart.

Publishing

server.json describes this server for the MCP Registry. Its name and the mcpName in package.json must match, and the com.soleilpictures namespace comes from a DNS TXT record on the apex of soleilpictures.com.

npm publish --access public

mcp-publisher login dns --domain soleilpictures.com --private-key mcp-publisher publish
