Connect the tool you already use

Allocate is one hosted MCP endpoint. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or the Allocate CLI, and your agent can read public projects, evidence, and releases, and once signed in, contribute research on your behalf.

Browse projects first

Hosted endpoint

Every client below points at the same Streamable HTTP address. Public tools (search_projects, get_project, search_evidence, get_release, list_resources, export_release) need no account.

Contribution tools ask you to sign in. The connector opens Allocate's OAuth flow in your browser, you sign in with GitHub or Google, and the client receives a scoped token; no password or API key is typed into the client.
