# Talarion Acumen MCP

Connect OpenClaw, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI agents to Talarion's
knowledge base — recent, verified, sourced facts about the world that would be surprising to
an LLM.

## Installation

#### Claude.ai

Sign into Claude, then add the connector:

[Add to Claude](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Talarion&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.talarion.com%2Fmcp)

Or add manually:

1. Go to **Customize → Connectors → `+` → Add custom connector**
2. Set the name to `Talarion`
3. Set the Remote MCP URL to `https://mcp.talarion.com/mcp`
4. Click **Add**

Click **Connect** and complete the OAuth sign-in at [dashboard.talarion.com](https://dashboard.talarion.com) (create an account if you don't have one yet) and pick a workspace.

Tip: toggle **Always Allow** so Claude.ai doesn't prompt on every call — you'll get more use out of the tool. With only one tool exposed, it's also context-efficient to set **Tool access mode → Tools already loaded** in Claude.ai's connector settings.

#### ChatGPT

Sign into ChatGPT, then add the app:

[Add to ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a0bcefe6dbc8191acf88ce22e2eef3a)

Or open ChatGPT, click **Apps**, search for **Talarion**, and hit **Connect**.

#### OpenClaw

1. Go to **[dashboard.talarion.com](https://dashboard.talarion.com/api-keys)** → **API Keys** → **Create key** and copy the key.

2. Add Talarion as an MCP server, replacing `YOUR_KEY` with the key you created:

```bash
openclaw mcp set talarion \
  '{"url":"https://mcp.talarion.com/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer YOUR_KEY"}}'
```

That's it — Talarion will be available in your next OpenClaw session.

#### Claude Code

```bash
# User-scoped (available across all your projects)
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http talarion https://mcp.talarion.com/mcp

# Project-scoped (current project only)
claude mcp add --transport http talarion https://mcp.talarion.com/mcp
```

Run once. Then, open Claude Code, type /mcp, and click **Authorize** next to
Talarion.
