Globestudio

@globestudio/mcp

Model Context Protocol server for Globestudio. It lets an MCP-compatible AI assistant make dotted-globe maps, build share URLs and get embed snippets from chat.

Connect by URL (no install)

Globestudio hosts this server at https://globestudio.app/mcp (streamable HTTP). You don't need to install anything, and there is no account or API key.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http globestudio https://globestudio.app/mcp

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop): Open in Claude's connector directory. Or open Customize, then Connectors, click +, then Add custom connector. Paste https://globestudio.app/mcp and click Add. Custom connectors work on Free (one connector), Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans; on Team and Enterprise an Owner adds it first.

ChatGPT: Open in ChatGPT and press Install plugin. The plugin brings the tools and the Globestudio skill.

Codex

codex mcp add globestudio --url https://globestudio.app/mcp

Or add it to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.globestudio]

url = "https://globestudio.app/mcp"

Cursor: add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{

"mcpServers": { "globestudio": { "url": "https://globestudio.app/mcp" } } }

Or install it in one click by opening this link:

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=globestudio&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dsb2Jlc3R1ZGlvLmFwcC9tY3AifQ==

Any other MCP client: add https://globestudio.app/mcp as a remote server using the streamable HTTP transport.

The hosted server is stateless: every request gets a fresh server, nothing is stored between requests, and replies are plain JSON. It takes POST only (GET and DELETE answer 405), requests up to 128 KB and batches of up to 10 messages.

Run it locally (stdio)

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add globestudio -- npx -y @globestudio/mcp

For Claude Desktop, add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "globestudio": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@globestudio/mcp"] } } }

For Cursor, Cody, Continue or any other MCP-over-stdio client: point it at npx -y @globestudio/mcp the same way.

Restart your AI tool. Globestudio tools should now appear in its tool catalog.

What it does

Six tools. None of them call an external API, because the preset catalog ships inside the package:

Each tool has a short title, such as Find looks by style, and is marked read-only, not destructive and closed world, since it only builds or reads links. ChatGPT treats a tool without the read-only mark as a write action and asks the user to confirm it.

Example prompts

"Show me every Globestudio preset with a retro vibe."

"Make me a clean dotted globe with cyan dots and give me a share URL."

"Generate the React component for the Vapor preset at 1200×600."

"Here is my globe: https://globestudio.app/?c=… Make the dots red and show only Europe."

Privacy

The hosted server reads only the arguments of each tool call, such as a look id, a style word, a color, a region or a Globestudio link. It answers from those and its built-in list of looks, and keeps nothing: no storage, no accounts, no cookies and no calls to any other service. It never sees the rest of your conversation. Vercel, which hosts it, sees each request's IP address, as any web host does, and keeps a request log for up to 30 days with the time, IP address, path, status, user agent and region of each request, not the tool arguments. Run locally with npx -y @globestudio/mcp, the server sends nothing anywhere. The full policy is at globestudio.app/privacy, and the terms of use at globestudio.app/terms.

Troubleshooting

• The tools don't show up. Check that the URL is exactly https://globestudio.app/mcp and that the client uses streamable HTTP (in Claude Code, --transport http). Opening the URL in a browser shows "Method not allowed". That is expected: the endpoint takes POST only.
• "Unknown preset". Ask for the list of looks (list_presets) and use one of the ids it returns.
• "is not a URL". read_share_url and share_url take a full Globestudio link: a studio link with ?c=, a /looks/ link or an /embed URL.
• "Request body is larger than 128 KB" or "A batch can hold up to 10 messages". The request was too big. Send fewer settings, or one call at a time.
• Anything else. Open an issue on GitHub.

Source

This package is part of the Globestudio monorepo. The preset catalog mirrors src/data/look-presets.js from the main app. New presets are added here in the same release.
