Murfy MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI tools to work directly with other apps. When you connect Murfy MCP, the AI tool you already use can read and edit the files in your Murfy projects and even compile them.

• Available on every plan, including the free Starter plan.
• Nothing to install.

Connect

1. In Murfy, go to your profile picture at the top right of the dashboard → Setting → Connected apps.
2. Copy the address under Connect a new app.
3. Paste it where your AI tool lets you add an MCP server (custom connector).
4. When the AI tool opens a Murfy page, review it and click Allow.

Each AI tool adds MCP servers in a different place. See each tool's official guide.

Tool	Official guide
Claude (web and desktop app)	Custom connectors
ChatGPT	Connect from ChatGPT
Cursor	MCP
Claude Code	MCP

It also works with VS Code.

Setup guide in Murfy

Murfy has its own MCP setup page with steps for each AI tool. It opens without logging in. To open it:

• Click your profile picture at the top right of the dashboard and choose MCP setup.
• Choose MCP setup in the left sidebar of the Announcements and Murfy guide pages.
• Go to Setting → Connected apps and click See setup steps for each AI.

The page has these parts:

• MCP URL: a copy field for the address to add to your AI tool.
• Or let your AI do it: a ready-made request you can copy and paste into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
• Steps for each tool: tabs for Antigravity, ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS Code. Claude is selected first.
• What you can ask: example requests.
• If something doesn't work: common problems and what to do.

Steps for each tool

Every tab has three steps: add Murfy to the tool, sign in on the Murfy page that opens, and choose Allow. How you add it depends on the tool.

Tool	How you add Murfy
ChatGPT, Claude	Add a custom connector and paste the MCP URL
Claude Code, Codex	Run the command shown on the page in your terminal
Antigravity, Cursor, VS Code	Add the settings shown on the page to the tool's MCP settings file

Each tab also links to the tool's own guide, Where to add it in the tool. If your AI isn't listed, any AI that supports MCP can connect. Add the MCP URL in its MCP or connector settings, then sign in and choose Allow. After you allow access, the AI shows up in Connected apps.

What you can ask

Example	What the AI does
Bring in new results	Reads results in your experiment folder, updates a table and a plot, and compiles. Works from Claude Code or Cursor, where your experiment files are
Fit a page limit	Compiles to count the pages, trims wordy text, and compiles again until it fits
Check before you submit	Reads your .tex files and refs.bib and reports what it finds. Nothing in your project changes
Add related work	Adds BibTeX entries to refs.bib and writes a paragraph in your related work section

The page also suggests mentioning the project name and asking the AI to show changes before it edits them. Files the AI deletes can be restored from History.

If something doesn't work

Problem	What the page says
I can't add a custom connector	Each AI app decides who can add connectors. On some plans only an organization owner or admin can. Ask them, or open that tool's setup guide
The sign-in page doesn't open	Most AI apps also show the sign-in link in their window or terminal. Copy it and open it in your browser
I connected the wrong Murfy account	Disconnect it in Connected apps, then connect again from the AI. On the Murfy page, choose Switch account before you allow access
The AI doesn't use Murfy	Some AI apps turn connectors on per chat. You can also name Murfy in your request
The AI can't find my project	Archived projects are left out unless you ask for them. The AI only sees projects you are a member of, so check that you connected the right account
My changes are refused	You are a Viewer on that project. The AI can read and compile it, but only owners and editors can change files
The AI asks me to sign in again	Connections end after 30 days without use, or when you disconnect them. Sign in from the AI again and choose Allow

What to check before you allow

Before you click Allow, Murfy shows you:

• Which tool is asking to connect, and where the request came from. If the source can't be verified, it says "Unverified app".
• Which Murfy account you're connecting. To use a different account, click Switch account.
• What the tool will be able to do:
  • See your projects and their files
  • Read file contents
  • Create, edit, move, and delete files
  • Run compiles and read the results

This tool acts as you. It only reaches projects you already have access to, and it can't change anything in projects where you're a viewer.

Manage connections

Under Connections in Setting → Connected apps, you can see each connected tool, when it was connected, and when it was last used.

• Disconnect: click Disconnect next to a tool to cut off its access right away. Nothing in your projects changes.
• Expired: if a connection isn't used for 30 days, it's signed out and marked Expired. Connect again from that tool to keep using it. Use Remove to clear expired entries from the list.

Good to know

• Changes made by an AI tool go into your document right away, as if you had typed them, and your co-authors see them too. If you want to check first, ask the tool to show you the changes before making them.
• Deleted files can be restored from History.
