Install the MCP server
No download is required. Configure your client with the server URL and your API key.
Let your assistant set it up
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any assistant that can read a URL and run commands. The assistant follows the install guide, asks for your key and installs the skill.
Read https://docs.gunspec.io/mcp/install.mdand set up the GunSpec MCP server for me.Ask me for my API key.| File | What it is |
|---|---|
install.md | The install guide the assistant follows. |
SKILL.md | An Agent Skill that tells an assistant which tool to use and how to interpret the results. |
tools.md | Every tool with its arguments. |
tools.json | Every tool with its plan, API operation and example arguments, in JSON format. |
1. Get an API key
Create a key in your account. The server accepts the same keys as the API and applies the same plan.
2. Add the server to your client
Select your client. Each snippet reads the key from GUNSPEC_API_KEY instead of storing it in a file that could be committed to source control.
claude mcp add --transport http gunspec https://mcp.gunspec.io \ --header "X-API-Key: $GUNSPEC_API_KEY"Run the command in a shell where GUNSPEC_API_KEY is set. Add --scope user to make the server available in every project.
Clients that only support bearer tokens can send Authorization: Bearer gsk_... instead of X-API-Key.
3. Verify the connection
Ask your assistant a question that only the catalog can answer. For example:
Use GunSpec to find the Glock 19 and tell me its barrel length and weight.The assistant should call gunspec_identify_firearm, which resolves the name and reads the record in a single call. If the assistant reports that a tool requires a higher plan, the connection is working but your plan does not include that tool. See Usage and limits.
