Connect your agent

Enable MCP in the Appris app first (Connect Agents). Your .p8 never leaves this Mac — agents only read the local warehouse.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json

After writing the file, toggle appris off/on in Settings → MCP. HTTP endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:18742/mcp

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appris": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:18742/mcp"
    }
  }
}

~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json

VS Code uses servers (not mcpServers). Reload the window and trust appris if prompted.

json

{
  "servers": {
    "appris": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:18742/mcp"
    }
  }
}

CLI

Requires the Claude Code CLI. Appris installs the helper at ~/.ascinsights/asc-mcp (no spaces in the path).

bash

claude mcp add --scope user appris -- ~/.ascinsights/asc-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude Desktop after updating the config.
