Connecting a Client - TextQL Docs

Add Ana’s MCP endpoint — https://app.textql.com/mcp — to any MCP-compatible client. Each client authorizes once over OAuth, then connects headlessly.

Setup

Go to Claude.ai → Settings → Integrations
Click Add MCP Server
Enter https://app.textql.com/mcp as the server URL
Name it ana and save

Authorization happens automatically the first time you invoke ask_question.

Add Ana to your Cursor MCP configuration. Open (or create) ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ana": {
      "url": "https://app.textql.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. On your first ask_question call, Cursor will open a browser window for OAuth authorization.

Open Windsurf Settings → MCP Servers and add a new server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ana": {
      "url": "https://app.textql.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save and reload. The first use triggers a one-time OAuth flow in your browser.

Add Ana as an MCP server in Claude Code settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ana": {
      "url": "https://app.textql.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or run from the CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http ana https://app.textql.com/mcp

The first time you use Ana in a session, you’ll be prompted to authorize via OAuth.

Go to ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors
Click Add connector
Enter https://app.textql.com/mcp as the MCP endpoint
Follow the OAuth prompt to authorize

Once connected, you can ask Ana data questions directly in any ChatGPT conversation.

Open Copilot Settings → Extensions → MCP
Click Add MCP server
Enter https://app.textql.com/mcp
Complete the one-time OAuth authorization

Ana will appear as an available tool in your Copilot sessions.

First-Time Authorization

The first time your client calls Ana, you’ll be redirected to the TextQL UI to complete a one-time OAuth authorization. This connects your TextQL identity to your MCP client — Ana knows which connectors and Ontology to use for your queries.

After authorization, your client connects headlessly. You won’t need to re-authorize unless you revoke access. Want to expose more than the default tools, or fewer? See Tool groups & modes.
