Cortex MCP server
Cortex in any MCP client, through Memtro: Cortex does not publish this server. Memtro's Cortex connector reads Cortex through its API with the credentials you connect, and one endpoint hands those tools, every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools to Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or anything else that speaks Streamable HTTP, as you.
What the model can do
Cortex developer portal: catalog entities (services, resources, domains, teams) with owner teams and owners, members, Slack channels, groups and repository, one entity's links, hierarchy and Scorecard scores, teams with their members, Scorecards with each entity's score, level and failing rules, deploys in a time window, and an entity's custom events. When asked, it can add a custom event, a deploy record or a custom data value to an entity, record a dependency, or archive or unarchive an entity.

Acts, when you ask
These change something in Cortex. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and each one is granted by name: per team on a shared connection, by the owner on a personal one.
cortex_add_custom_eventAdd a custom event (an incident, a release note, a migration milestone) to a Cortex entity's timeline.cortex_add_deployRecord a deploy, rollback, scale or restart against a Cortex entity.cortex_set_custom_dataSet a custom data value on a Cortex entity under a key (Scorecard rules can read it).cortex_add_dependencyRecord in Cortex that one entity depends on (calls) another.cortex_archive_entityArchive a Cortex entity: it leaves the catalog lists and Scorecards until it is unarchived.cortex_unarchive_entityUnarchive a Cortex entity so it is back in the catalog and Scorecards.
Connect it
First connect Cortex on Dashboard → Connections, then add Memtro to your client once. The Cortex tools appear alongside the tools of everything else you have connected; nothing is configured per connector.
Claude Code
The Memtro plugin registers the server and a skill for when to use it; the tools are then available in every session.
claude plugin marketplace add memtro-org/claude-memtro
claude plugin install memtro@memtro --config api_key=sk-memtro-...Cursor
Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json in the project, or to the global file under ~/.cursor/.
{
"mcpServers": {
"memtro": {
"url": "https://platform.memtro.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-memtro-..."
}
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Create a personal API key on Dashboard → Profile → API keys. In Claude Desktop add an MCP server of type HTTP with URL https://platform.memtro.com/api/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer sk-memtro-…
OpenCode
A remote server in opencode.json.
{
"mcp": {
"memtro": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "https://platform.memtro.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk-memtro-..."
}
}
}
}Pi
One command: pi mcp add memtro --url https://platform.memtro.com/api/mcp --bearer-token-env-var MEMTRO_API_KEY. Tools arrive as mcp__memtro__*. The pi-memtro extension registers it for you, alongside Memtro as the model.
Any other client
Add an MCP server of type HTTP (Streamable HTTP, stateless) at https://platform.memtro.com/api/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer sk-memtro-.... Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the SDKs all take a remote server this way.
Who may use it
The key identifies the person, and the server offers that person the tools they may use everywhere else in Memtro. A shared Cortex connection is used by the teams an administrator granted it to, tool by tool, on the Permissions page; a personal connection is used by its owner alone, and its tools that act stay off until the owner allows them. See Teams and permissions and Connectors.

Questions
- Is this an official Cortex MCP server?
- No. It is Memtro's MCP server with Memtro's Cortex connector behind it: the connector reads Cortex through its API with the credentials you connect on Dashboard → Connections, and Cortex publishes nothing here. The same endpoint carries every other system you connect and Memtro's memory tools.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing on top of Memtro. One price per organisation by its number of users, from $50 a month for up to 10 users after a 7-day free trial, with every connector, the MCP server, jobs and memory included. You bring your own model keys.
- Can it change anything in Cortex?
- Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a custom event to an entity's timeline; record a deploy against an entity (records it, does not deploy); set a custom data value on an entity (may replace one with the same key); record that one entity depends on another; archive an entity (hidden from the catalog and Scorecards until unarchived); unarchive an entity. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. An administrator grants each acting tool by name per team, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- Which clients work?
- Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, Cline and the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs. There is no local process to run; the server is remote and authenticated with your key.
