MCP server for AI assistants

Larvabot has an MCP server, so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor and VS Code's Copilot can look through your leads and conversations for you: "which conversations should I answer first today?", "show me the leads that replied this week and what they sell", "draft a follow-up for the café that replied". MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard these assistants use to connect to tools.

Larvabot is an official connector in Claude's directory and is featured on Smithery, the MCP server registry, with a quality score of 85/100.

The server is read-only. The assistant can search, read and summarise, and it sees the reply and email drafts Larvabot wrote, but it can't post a reply, send an email or change anything. You still do that in Larvabot.

#Server URL and key

https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp

Apps that support sign-in (claude.ai, the Claude desktop app, ChatGPT and most newer MCP clients) only need the URL: they open a Larvabot page where you sign in and click Allow access. Everything else uses an API key, the same kind the Zapier and Make apps use: create one under Settings → Integrations → API keys and send it as Authorization: Bearer lb_your_key (or X-API-Key: lb_your_key).

Either way the assistant sees only your own projects. Disconnect a signed-in app, or revoke a key, under Settings → Integrations and it loses access straight away.

#Connect your assistant

#Claude (official connector)

1. Open Larvabot in Claude's connector directory (or Settings → Connectors → Browse connectors in Claude and search for Larvabot).
2. Click Connect, sign in to Larvabot if asked, and click Allow access.
3. In a chat, check that Larvabot is switched on in the tools menu.

It works on claude.ai and in the Claude desktop and mobile apps. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may need to allow the connector for the organization first. More on the Larvabot for Claude page.

#From Smithery

Larvabot's Smithery listing has ready-made install commands for Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other MCP clients. Pick your client there and follow the prompt; use an API key from Settings → Integrations if it asks for one.

#ChatGPT

1. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode (Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans).
2. Click Create, name it Larvabot, paste the server URL and choose OAuth for authentication.
3. Sign in to Larvabot when asked and click Allow access. In a chat, pick Larvabot from the tools menu.

#Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http larvabot https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp, then run /mcp in Claude Code to sign in. Or with a key:

claude mcp add --transport http larvabot https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer lb_your_key"

#Claude Desktop with an API key (optional)

Prefer a key over the sign-in? Use the small mcp-remote bridge (needs Node.js): open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "larvabot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer lb_your_key"]
    }
  }
}

#Cursor

In Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "larvabot": {
      "url": "https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lb_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

#VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

In .vscode/mcp.json (or MCP: Add Server from the command palette):

{
  "servers": {
    "larvabot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.larvabot.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lb_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

#n8n

Add an MCP Client Tool to an AI Agent, set the endpoint to the server URL, and use Header Auth with Authorization = Bearer lb_your_key.

#Tools

#Things to ask

• "What should I reply to today? Give me the top 5 conversations with their drafts."
• "Which leads replied this week? Summarise what each one said yes to."
• "Rewrite the draft reply for conversation 14124 so it's shorter and asks one question."
• "Compare my two projects: where are the warmest leads coming from?"

The assistant reads; you decide. To post a reply or send an email, open the item in Larvabot (every result includes a dashboard_url).
