How to Use Meepo with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT — An MCP Setup Guide

You connect Meepo to an AI agent by adding its cloud-hosted MCP server — meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp — as a custom connector, then signing in through a one-time OAuth web login. There are no API keys to paste. Once connected, your agent can list your brands, generate on-brand posters, social posts, and carousels, produce videos, and check your credit balance — all from a chat. This Meepo MCP setup guide walks through the exact steps for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Gemini CLI, so you can drive a design MCP server from whichever AI agent you already use.

What you're connecting and why

Meepo is an AI content and design platform that doubles as a design MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI agent call external tools in a structured way. When you add Meepo as a connector, your agent gains design tools it can invoke in plain language — no separate dashboard, no copy-paste between windows.

The server is cloud-hosted and uses Streamable HTTP, so there's nothing to install or run locally. On first connect, you authorize through a normal web login (OAuth) in your browser — no API keys to generate, store, or paste. You sign in once and the agent stays connected.

Three facts make the rest of this guide simple:

• The server URL is always meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp.
• The transport is Streamable HTTP (pick this if an agent asks for a transport type).
• Authentication is a one-time OAuth web login, triggered automatically on first connect.

Where to add Meepo in each agent

Different agents put MCP settings in different places. Use this table as a map, then follow the numbered steps below for your tool.

Agent	Where to add it	Note
Claude (desktop/web)	Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector	OAuth login pops up on Connect
Cursor	Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server	Choose Streamable HTTP transport
ChatGPT	Settings → Apps & Connectors → developer mode → Create app	Set the server URL as the app's MCP endpoint
Gemini CLI	mcpServers entry in the Gemini settings JSON	Add the URL by hand; restart the CLI

Connect Meepo to Claude

Claude treats MCP servers as connectors, configured in its settings.

1. Open Settings. Click your profile, then Settings — this is where Claude stores integrations.
2. Go to Connectors. This tab lists every external tool Claude can call, so you can manage them in one place.
3. Click Add custom connector. This lets you register a server Claude doesn't ship by default, which is what Meepo is.
4. Name it Meepo. A clear name makes the tools easy to spot later in chats.
5. Paste the URL. Enter meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp as the server address so Claude knows where to connect.
6. Click Connect. Claude reaches the server and starts the OAuth handshake — the secure way to link your account without keys.
7. Sign in and Authorize. A browser window opens; log into Meepo and approve access. Once authorized, the design tools appear in Claude.

Connect Meepo to Cursor

Cursor exposes MCP servers in its settings and asks which transport to use.

1. Open Settings. Use the gear icon or the command palette to reach Cursor's settings.
2. Find the MCP section. This is where Cursor lists the servers it can call from chat and agents.
3. Click Add new MCP server. This starts a new server entry for Meepo.
4. Choose Streamable HTTP. Meepo is a remote HTTP server, so pick this transport rather than a local command.
5. Paste the URL. Enter meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp as the endpoint.
6. Save and authorize. Cursor connects and triggers the OAuth login in your browser — sign in to finish, and Meepo's tools become available to Cursor's agent.

Connect Meepo to ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports custom MCP servers through developer mode under Apps & Connectors.

1. Open Settings. Reach your account settings from the menu.
2. Go to Apps & Connectors. This is where ChatGPT manages external tools and integrations.
3. Enable developer mode. Custom MCP servers live behind this toggle, so turn it on first.
4. Click Create app. This registers a new connector that ChatGPT can call.
5. Set the server URL. Enter meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp as the app's MCP endpoint so ChatGPT routes tool calls to Meepo.
6. Complete the OAuth login. Authorize in the browser when prompted, then the Meepo tools are usable in chat.

Connect Meepo to Gemini CLI

The Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from a settings JSON file — you add Meepo as an mcpServers entry.

1. Open the Gemini settings JSON. This file holds your CLI configuration, including MCP servers.
2. Add an mcpServers entry. Register Meepo with the server URL so the CLI knows where to connect. A minimal entry looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meepo": {
      "httpUrl": "https://meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file. Persist the change so the CLI picks it up.
4. Restart the Gemini CLI. A fresh start loads the new server, and the first call triggers the OAuth login to authorize your account.

What you can do once connected

After the handshake, your agent drives Meepo in plain language:

• List your brands so generation uses the right colors, fonts, and logo.
• Create designs — posters, social posts, or ad creatives, generated on-brand at roughly 1 credit per image.
• Build carousels from one prompt — about 6 credits for a 6-slide set.
• Generate video — a short UGC-style or promo clip, typically 13 to 19 credits.
• Check credits before a big batch so you can budget the run.

Because your brand profile is applied automatically, you don't restate colors or fonts in every prompt — you describe the idea, and the output stays consistent.

Troubleshooting

If the connection doesn't behave, work through these in order:

• Tools don't appear. Re-open the connector and confirm the URL is exactly meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp with no trailing characters.
• The OAuth window didn't open. Allow pop-ups for the agent, then click Connect again — the login must complete in a browser.
• Wrong transport. In Cursor or any agent that asks, choose Streamable HTTP, not a local command or SSE.
• Authorized but still no access. Make sure you signed into the correct Meepo account, then disconnect and reconnect to refresh the session.
• Gemini CLI not loading the server. Check the JSON is valid (no trailing commas) and restart the CLI so it re-reads the file.

Putting it together

Pick the agent you already use, add the server URL in its connector settings, and authorize once. From then on, design generation lives inside your normal chat or coding workflow instead of a separate tab. The full reference — including agents like Windsurf, Manus, and the Slack bot — lives in the Meepo MCP setup guide.

To try it, sign up free for a brand and 20 credits with no credit card, then connect your agent and ask it to list your brands as a first test.

FAQ

What is the Meepo MCP server URL?

The Meepo MCP server URL is meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp. It is cloud-hosted and uses the Streamable HTTP transport, so there is nothing to install locally. You add this single URL as a custom connector in your AI agent, and it stays the same across Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and the Gemini CLI.

Do I need an API key to connect Meepo to an AI agent?

No. Meepo uses a one-time OAuth web login instead of API keys, so there is nothing to generate or paste. On first connect, a browser window opens where you sign in and authorize access. After that the agent stays connected and can call Meepo's design tools directly.

How do I add Meepo to Claude?

In Claude, open Settings, go to Connectors, and click Add custom connector. Name it Meepo, paste the server URL, and click Connect. A browser login appears so you can sign in and authorize, after which Meepo's design tools become available in your chats.

What can an AI agent do with Meepo over MCP?

Once connected, an agent can list your brand profiles, create on-brand designs such as posters and social posts, build multi-slide carousels, generate video, and check your credit balance. Your brand profile is applied automatically, so you describe the idea and the output stays on-brand. Everything happens in the chat without opening a separate design tool.

Which AI agents work with Meepo's MCP server?

Any MCP-compatible agent works, including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf, plus Manus and a Slack bot. The setup is the same idea everywhere: add the server URL as a custom connector and complete the one-time login. The exact menu path differs per agent, which is why this guide lists steps for each.

Why aren't Meepo's tools showing up after I connect?

The most common cause is a slightly wrong URL, so confirm it reads exactly meepo-mcp-server.meepo.app/mcp with no extra characters. Also make sure the OAuth login completed in a browser, since the tools only appear after you authorize. If an agent asks for a transport type, choose Streamable HTTP, then disconnect and reconnect to refresh the session.
