Connect Your AI Agent
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
Add the server URL to your AI client
Same URL everywhere: https://directories.ai/mcp. No server to run, no package to install.
Sign in and approve
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI and other OAuth-capable clients open a Directories.ai sign-in page; pick the organization to connect. Clients that can't do that (many local-model setups) use an API key from Dashboard → Settings → Developer API as a Bearer token.
Claude Desktop & claude.ai
Claude connects to remote MCP servers directly — no bridge script, no local process
- Open Settings → Connectors (claude.ai or Claude Desktop)
- Choose Add custom connector
- Paste the server URL:
https://directories.ai/mcp - Click Connect, sign in to Directories.ai and approve access
- Enable the connector in a conversation and start asking it to work on your directory
What your agent can actually do once connected
Real, working tool categories — the full list lives in the integration guide
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
Getting a 401?
- Verify the key is active in Dashboard → Settings
- Make sure it's sent as
Authorization: Bearer <key>
