Needle MCP server

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients to your Needle leads: see who to reply to, read a lead in full, draft a reply in your brand voice, mark leads as handled, and run new searches across Reddit, Hacker News, forums and more.

• URL: https://api.useneedle.net/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

• Auth: sign in with your Needle account (OAuth), or an API key from Needle Settings → API & MCP. Growth and Scale plans.

• Docs: useneedle.net/docs/mcp (tools, limits, errors) and the REST API

Set up

claude.ai and Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://api.useneedle.net/mcp, then Connect and allow access on the Needle page that opens.

ChatGPT: add a custom connector (developer mode) with the URL https://api.useneedle.net/mcp and OAuth authentication, then sign in to Needle.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http needle https://api.useneedle.net/mcp

Then run /mcp, pick needle and authenticate in the browser.

Needle never posts for you: drafts are text for you to review and post.
