Installation Guide

Quick Setup with Claude CLI

The fastest way to connect to the Mind Reasoner MCP Server:

$
claude mcp add --transport http mind-reasoner \
>
  https://mcp.mindreasoner.com/mcp \
>
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Setup for Other MCP Clients

If you’re using an MCP client other than Claude, add this configuration to your client’s settings:

1
{
2
  "mcpServers": {
3
    "mind-reasoner": {
4
      "url": "https://mcp.mindreasoner.com/mcp",
5
      "transport": "http",
6
      "headers": {
7
        "Authorization": "Bearer {{API_KEY}}"
8
      }
9
    }
10
  }
11
}

Refer to your MCP client’s documentation for the specific configuration file location.

Verifying Your Connection

After connecting, verify everything is working:

Check Server Registration

$
claude mcp list

You should see mind-reasoner in the list of connected servers.

Test Your First Command

Ask: “What Mind Reasoner MCP tools do you have access to?”

Mind Reasoner should respond with a list of the eight available tools: get_all_minds, search_minds, create_mind, get_signed_upload_url, upload_file_to_signed_url, create_snapshot, get_snapshot_status, and simulate.

Optional: Connect to Gong, Fathom, or Fireflies

Already using conversation intelligence platforms? Connect them to access your existing transcript repositories without manual file uploads.

Choose Your Integration Approach

You can connect to these platforms in two ways:

Option 1: Use Our MCP Server Integrations (Recommended for simplicity)

• Add integration credentials to the MCP server configuration
• Access transcripts through the same AI conversation interface
• No additional code or setup required
• Works seamlessly with Mind Reasoner workflows

Option 2: Integrate Directly in Your Own Workflows

• Use Gong, Fathom, or Fireflies APIs independently
• Full control over data processing and workflows
• Combine with Mind Reasoner API as needed
• Better for custom integrations or specialized workflows

Quick Links to Integration Setup

For detailed setup instructions and credential management:

• Gong Integration Setup - Connect to sales call recordings
• Fathom Integration Setup - Connect to meeting transcripts
• Fireflies Integration Setup - Connect to meeting recordings

Each guide covers:

• How to obtain API credentials from the platform
• Configuration for both hosted and self-hosted deployments
• Authentication testing and troubleshooting
• Links to official API documentation for direct integration

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

If Claude can’t connect to the MCP server:

Verify the server is registered:

$
claude mcp list

Test the connection manually:

$
curl -X POST https://mcp.mindreasoner.com/mcp \
>
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
>
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Authentication Errors

If you see “Unauthorized” or 401 errors:

• Double-check your API key in the Mind Reasoner dashboard
• Ensure the format is correct: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY (note the space)
• Verify there are no extra spaces or typos
• Try generating a new API key if the issue persists

Tools Not Appearing

If Mind Reasoner tools aren’t available:

• Restart Claude Desktop or Claude Code after adding the server
• Verify the server appears in claude mcp list
• Check your configuration file syntax (must be valid JSON)
• Try explicitly asking: “What MCP tools are available?”
