A Model Context Protocol server for Parallect.ai — multi-provider deep research from AI.
This MCP server gives AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) access to Parallect's deep research capabilities: submit queries, track progress, retrieve synthesized reports with cross-referenced citations, and explore claims with full evidence chains.
Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"parallect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@parallect/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PARALLECT_API_KEY": "par_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"parallect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@parallect/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PARALLECT_API_KEY": "par_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}claude mcp add parallect -- npx -y @parallect/mcp-serverThen set PARALLECT_API_KEY in your environment.
The server supports two transport modes: stdio for local MCP clients and HTTP for hosted/remote deployments.
Used by Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other local MCP clients. The API key is set via environment variable and used for all requests.
Runs as a standalone HTTP server. Each client authenticates with their own Authorization: Bearer <token> header, which is passed through to the Parallect API.
# Start the HTTP server
PORT=8080 PARALLECT_API_URL=https://parallect.ai npm run start:httpClients send MCP JSON-RPC messages via POST /mcp with their API key as a Bearer token:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer par_live_your_key_here" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{...},"id":1}'| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
PORT | No | 8080 | HTTP server listen port |
PARALLECT_API_URL | No | https://parallect.ai | API base URL |
No PARALLECT_API_KEY env var is needed in HTTP mode — each request carries its own token.
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
PARALLECT_API_KEY | Yes | — | Your Parallect API key (par_live_...) |
PARALLECT_API_URL | No | https://parallect.ai | API base URL (for self-hosted or dev) |
