README
Quotewise MCP Server
Semantic quote search for AI assistants. Find quotes by meaning, verify attributions, with source transparency via QuoteSightings.
Quick Setup
Run the setup helper to get config for your client:
npx @quotewise/mcp setup
npx @quotewise/mcp setup claude-desktop
npx @quotewise/mcp setup gemini
Or follow the client-specific instructions below.
Setup by Client
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http quotewise https://mcp.quotewise.io/
Verify with claude mcp list or /mcp inside a session.
Claude Desktop
Add via Settings > Connectors in the app UI, or add to your config file using the mcp-remote bridge:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quotewise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.quotewise.io/"]
}
}
}
| OS | Config Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json |
| Linux | ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
Note: Claude Desktop does not support remote HTTP servers directly in the config file. The
mcp-remotebridge runs a local stdio process that proxies to the remote server. Requires Node.js.

{
"mcpServers": {
"quotewise": {

Other MCP Clients
Most MCP clients use the standard mcpServers format:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quotewise": {
"url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/"
}
}
}
Authentication
Anonymous access works immediately — 20 requests/day, no signup needed.
For higher limits, create a free account and then generate an API key from your developer dashboard. The MCP server uses OAuth device flow — you'll be prompted on first use.
See quotewise.io/plans for current rate limits and pricing.

Troubleshooting
Connection refused or timeout: Verify you can reach https://mcp.quotewise.io/ from your network. Corporate firewalls may block the connection.
"Rate limit exceeded": Anonymous access allows 20 requests/day. Sign up at quotewise.io for higher limits.
"Invalid authentication token": API tokens use the qw_ prefix. Regenerate your key at quotewise.io/developers/dashboard.
Claude Desktop not connecting: Claude Desktop requires the mcp-remote bridge for remote servers. See the Claude Desktop setup section above.
Tools not appearing: After adding the server config, restart your MCP client. Use the ping tool to verify connectivity.
