MCP server

The Indices MCP server lets your AI agents perform tasks across the web. Connect it to any MCP-compatible agent in minutes. MCP endpoint: https://mcp.indices.io Authentication: All requests require an Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> header. Generate an API key in the dashboard.

Installation

Quick setup (recommended)

Use add-mcp to configure Indices across all your installed agents at once. In a terminal, run:

npx add-mcp https://mcp.indices.io --header "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> --all -g -y"

add-mcp detects which agents you have installed (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and more) and updates their config files automatically. Skill: Optionally, install the Indices skill to teach coding agents how to use Indices: npx skills add indicesio/skills --all --global

Manual Setup

Claude Code

      "url": "https://mcp.indices.io",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to your settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "indices-mcp": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.indices.io",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

For more details, see the VS Code MCP documentation.

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "indices-mcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.indices.io",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

For more details, see the Gemini CLI MCP documentation.

ChatGPT

Go to Settings → Connectors → Advanced Settings, enable Developer Mode, then create a connector:

Name: indices-mcp
URL: https://mcp.indices.io
Authentication: Add the header Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>

For more details, see OpenAI’s MCP apps documentation.

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.indices-mcp]
url = "https://mcp.indices.io"

[mcp_servers.indices-mcp.headers]
Authorization = "Bearer <API_KEY>"

For more details, see the Codex MCP documentation.

Other agents

Use the Streaming HTTP transport with URL https://mcp.indices.io. Ensure outbound requests include the Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> header. If your client doesn’t support custom headers, use mcp-remote to proxy requests. See the MCP documentation for general guidance.

Example
