## About

KitRank is a read-only catalog of real AI agent use cases collected from creators, builders and operators. Each entry links to its original source and lists the tools used, claimed result, cost, setup time, difficulty, setup steps and a copyable setup prompt.

The server runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at kitrank.dev. No sign-in or API key is needed. Results are as claimed by the original authors, so cite the source link when using them.

## What it can do

- Search use cases by goal, tool or topic
- Fetch the full recipe for a use case by id
- List use case categories with counts
- See use cases published in the last N days
- Get cost, setup time and difficulty for each entry
- Copy a ready setup prompt

## Tools (5)

- `search_use_cases`: Search sourced AI agent use cases by goal, tool or topic, with cost, setup time and difficulty. (read-only)
- `get_use_case`: Get the full recipe for one use case by id, including steps and a setup prompt. (read-only)
- `list_categories`: List use case categories with ids and counts. (read-only)
- `latest_use_cases`: List use cases whose source was published in the last N days, newest first. (read-only)
- `use_cases_by_tool`: List use cases that name a specific consumer tool (claude-code, n8n, cursor, elevenlabs, remotion aliases, etc.). (read-only)

## Example prompts

- "Find AI agent use cases for making faceless YouTube videos."
- "Show the full recipe for the Home Assistant automation use case."
- "What new AI use cases were published in the last 7 days?"
- "List the KitRank categories and how many use cases each has."

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http kitrank https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **kitrank** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **KitRank** and paste this URL:

```url
https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=KitRank&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fkitrank.dev%2Fapi%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=kitrank&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2tpdHJhbmsuZGV2L2FwaS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kitrank": {
      "url": "https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=kitrank&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fkitrank.dev%2Fapi%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"kitrank","type":"http","url":"https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "kitrank": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kitrank": {
      "serverUrl": "https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add kitrank --url https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.kitrank]
url = "https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http kitrank https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kitrank": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://kitrank.dev/api/mcp`.
