Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search declassified UAP/UFO government archives, geocoded sightings and cited entity profiles.

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: 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

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 research-archive https://mcp.uapdrop.com/the-truth-is-in-here --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": {
    "research-archive": {
      "url": "https://mcp.uapdrop.com/the-truth-is-in-here",
      "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": {
    "research-archive": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.uapdrop.com/the-truth-is-in-here",
      "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.

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

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer token: a UAPDrop API key in the form 'Bearer uapd_live_...'. Create one free at https://www.uapdrop.com/profile.html

Common questions

Is UAPDrop Research Archive 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 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?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

UAPDrop Research Archive — MCP Server

A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP-capable client grounded, citable access to the UAPDrop research corpus: declassified UAP/UFO government documents, a geocoded sighting archive built from national archives, news coverage, and cited entity profiles.

Every result links back to the record it came from, so the assistant's claims can be checked against a primary source rather than taken on trust.

This repository holds the server's public metadata (server.json) and documentation. The server itself is hosted — there is nothing to install or run locally.

What's in the corpus

Declassified documents13,929 — Project Blue Book, the FBI Vault, and national-archive releases, with extracted PDF text
Geocoded sightings28,314 records from four vetted government sources
Sighting sourcesUS NARA Project Blue Book, UK National Archives, France's CNES/GEIPAN, and the Hatch catalogue
Commentary videos~10,000 analysed, each with a generated summary, analysis and talking points
Entity profilesReported non-human entities, every claim backed by a citation into the archive

The underlying sighting dataset is free to download in bulk and always will be. What this server provides is the retrieval layer over it — keyword search, semantic search, ranking, and cross-linking across the whole corpus.

Tools

All tools are read-only. There are no ingest, generation, or administrative tools, by design.

Raw video transcripts are never returned, and neither is YouTube's own description text.

Setup

Create a key on your profile page — sign-in is free and so is the starter tier — then register the server with your client.

Claude Code
claude mcp add uapdrop --transport http \

https://mcp.uapdrop.com/the-truth-is-in-here \ --header "Authorization: Bearer uapd_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Verifying the connection

The server publishes OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata, so an unauthenticated request returns a spec-conformant challenge rather than a bare failure:

curl -s https://mcp.uapdrop.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource

Quotas are per key and reset at 00:00 UTC. Responses carry X-RateLimit-Remaining; exceeding the quota returns 429 with a Retry-After header.

Example prompts

Once connected, these are the kinds of questions the server is built to answer:

  • *"What did Project Blue Book conclude about the 1952 Washington D.C. sightings, and what do the original documents actually say?"*
  • *"Find sightings within 100 km of Rendlesham Forest between 1980 and 1981, and show me the source records."*
  • *"Search the archive for anything conceptually similar to 'metallic disc observed by military radar operators' — not just those keywords."*
  • *"What primary sources back the claims in the entity profile for the Hopkinsville goblins?"*

Data provenance

Records come from public government archives — the US National Archives' Project Blue Book, the UK National Archives, France's CNES/GEIPAN, and other national disclosure releases. Every result carries the URL of the originating record so it can be verified against the source.
