Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Find and hire a human specialist from the Stoory marketplace, right from chat.

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: Online shops & payments
  • You need to fill in: x-api-key

Install

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

Before you install

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 stoory https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp --header 'x-api-key: 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": {
    "stoory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "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": {
    "stoory": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "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

  • x-api-key secret required HTTP header
    Stoory client API key identifying the caller's account. Get one at https://stoory.io/login?step=register&u=Client_(user).

Common questions

Is Stoory Hire Specialist safe?

It passed 0 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: x-api-key

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 (0.1.0) 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?

Stoory MCP Server

Hire a human specialist from your AI workspace — without leaving it.

AI can build most of your app. It can't get you GDPR-compliant, review your Stripe integration, design your landing page, or run your SEO. Stoory MCP lets your AI coding assistant find, brief, and hire the right human for that — without you ever opening Upwork, writing a job post, or explaining your problem from scratch.


What it does

  • Search Stoory's marketplace (430+ specializations: dev, legal, design, growth, operations) with a natural-language query.
  • Package a task: your AI assistant drafts the title, description, and budget, and attaches only the files the specialist actually needs — shared by link or uploaded to the task, never your whole repo.
  • Hand off safely: files are attached privately to the task on Stoory, visible only to the invited specialist — no repo to create or manage.
  • Track progress: one call returns the whole task — status, budget, deadline, the invited/accepted specialists, and every file (yours plus whatever the specialist delivers) pulled back into your AI workspace.

You stay in control of the two decisions that matter — who to hire and what budget to approve. The agent does the rest.

See Tools below for the full list.


Quickstart

Requirements
  • Any AI client that supports MCP over Streamable HTTP (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex CLI, Replit, Lovable, ...).
  • A free Stoory client account and API key (below).
1. Get a client API key

Sign up at stoory.io/login?step=register&u=Client_(user)), then open MCP Server on the Stoory homepage to generate your client_api_key.

2. Add the server to your AI client

Pick your client below. The URL is always https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp, the header is always x-api-key, but where you put them differs per client.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http stoory \

https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp \ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

Or add directly to .mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "stoory": { "url": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } }

</details>

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp as the URL, open Request headers, add x-api-key with your key, then click Add.

(Request header auth is currently rolling out at Anthropic. If you don't see a "Request headers" option yet, use Claude Code or another client below in the meantime.)

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{

"mcpServers": { "stoory": { "url": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } }

</details>

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json — note the field is serverUrl, not url:

{

"mcpServers": { "stoory": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } }

</details>

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json — note the root key is servers, not mcpServers, and each entry needs "type": "http":

{

"servers": { "stoory": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" } } } }

</details>

Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.stoory]

url = "https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp" http_headers = { "x-api-key" = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" }

</details>

Replit

Replit connects MCP servers at the account level — added once, available in every project. Open Settings → MCP Servers, click + Add MCP server, then:

  1. Name it stoory.
  2. Paste https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp as the server URL.
  3. Open Advanced settings and add a custom header x-api-key with your key.
  4. Click Test & save.

Lovable

Open Settings → Connectors, and under Personal connectors click Custom. Paste https://mcp.stoory.io/mcp as the remote MCP server URL and click Add.

(Lovable's custom connector currently authenticates via OAuth only. If there is no field for a custom x-api-key header, header-key auth isn't available in Lovable yet — use Claude Code or another client above in the meantime.)

3. Ask for help

"My AI assistant keeps breaking my Stripe integration. Find me someone who can fix it."

That's it — the assistant searches, drafts the task, shows you cost and files before anything is sent, and waits for your go-ahead.


Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_specialistsSemantic search over Stoory's specialist marketplace
create_taskDrafts and sends a task to one or more chosen specialists (requires explicit user confirmation)
get_taskReturns the whole task record — status, invited/accepted specialists, budget, deadline, and files (your context files plus whatever the specialist delivers)
cancel_taskCancels a task before a specialist has accepted it

How it works

"I need a GDPR specialist"

│ ▼ AI searches the marketplace, you pick a specialist │ ▼ AI drafts the task + selects only the needed files │ ▼ You confirm cost and file list │ ▼ Task created on Stoory, files attached privately, specialist invited │ ▼ You pull the result back into your AI workspace


Security & privacy

Your private data doesn't need to become public just because you need human help.

  • Your assistant chooses which files to share — never the whole repo.
  • You pass those files as a link or a direct upload — the server has no access to your disk and never reads local paths.
  • Attachments are stored privately on the task, visible only to the invited specialist.
  • Files are scanned for secrets (.env, private keys, API keys/tokens) on the server before they're stored.
  • Nothing is shared, and no task is created, without your explicit confirmation.

Example

User: "I've built my SaaS with AI. I need a privacy policy

and terms of service before I can launch."

AI: 5 relevant specialists found.

User: "Use #2, budget $200."

AI: Creates the task, writes the brief, selects the relevant project files, attaches them privately to the task, and invites the specialist. Done.


Community & support


Are you a specialist?

Stoory MCP recommends specialists from Stoory's marketplace to clients — if you're a developer, designer, lawyer, marketer, or any other freelancer, a free profile makes you eligible to get invited. No commission, ever. Create your free profile at stoory.io/for-specialists.


Disclaimer

Stoory MCP does not replace your AI assistant and does not perform payments or hiring decisions on its own — it prepares the task and hands the decision to you. Stoory does not process payments: client and specialist settle payment for the work directly between themselves, entirely outside Stoory.
