Connect Your AI Agent

MCP Protocol

Directories.ai is the MCP server — there's nothing to install. Give your AI client this URL, sign in when it asks, and it can manage your directory directly.

Quick Setup

One URL, then pick your client below

1

Add the server URL to your AI client

Same URL everywhere: https://directories.ai/mcp. No server to run, no package to install.

2

Sign in and approve

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Le Chat and other apps that support sign-in open a Directories.ai page; pick the organization to connect. Clients that can't do that (many local-model setups) use an API key from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys as a Bearer token. The few that ask for a client ID and secret, such as Gemini Enterprise, get them on the same page under App credentials.

Pick your AI

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Muse, Le Chat, OpenClaw, Antigravity, local models and more. Every one connects to the same secured server.

What your agent can actually do once connected

Real, working tool categories. Ask your AI to list its Directories.ai tools for the full set.

Listings & categories

Create, edit, publish, search, and organize listings and categories.

Content

Draft articles, FAQs, and pages grounded in your directory's own data.

Claims & outreach

Invite unclaimed listings and review incoming claim requests.

Tasks

Queue recurring or one-off work for the agent to pick up and log.

See what it can never do — enforced, not just promised.

Troubleshooting

Connector not showing tools?

  • Confirm the URL is exactly https://directories.ai/mcp (not a variant subdomain)
  • Re-check the Bearer token — it should be the raw API key, no extra quotes or spaces
  • Some clients need the connector explicitly enabled per-conversation after adding it
