Connect the Zite MCP

Claude (Desktop & web)

Zite is an approved connector in the Claude directory — there’s nothing to configure by hand.

Open connector settings

In claude.ai or Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Connectors. Connectors are account-level, so enabling Zite once makes it available on web, desktop, and mobile.

Enable Zite

Find Zite in the connector directory and click Connect.

Authorize

Complete the Zite sign-in. The Zite tools are now available in your chats.

Claude Team & Enterprise (managed authorization). On managed workspaces, connectors are enabled by a workspace admin rather than per person. An admin enables the Zite connector once from Settings → Connectors, then members turn it on from the connectors directory and authorize with their own Zite account.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http zite https://mcp.zite.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in a session, select zite, choose Authenticate, and complete the sign-in in your browser.

ChatGPT

Zite is an approved app in the ChatGPT apps directory.

Open the Zite app

Open Zite in ChatGPT, or search for Zite in the ChatGPT apps directory.

Connect and authorize

Click Connect and complete the Zite sign-in. (Apps are available on paid ChatGPT plans.)

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zite.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

You can also add it from Cursor Settings → Tools & Integrations → MCP → Add. Open MCP in settings and click the server to complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted.

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "zite": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.zite.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P), choose HTTP, paste https://mcp.zite.com/mcp, and name it zite. Start the server and sign in when prompted. (Requires a recent VS Code with MCP support.)

Codex

codex mcp add zite --url https://mcp.zite.com/mcp

Or add it to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[features]
experimental_use_rmcp_client = true

[mcp_servers.zite]
url = "https://mcp.zite.com/mcp"

Then authenticate: codex mcp login zite.

Windsurf

Open Settings (Ctrl/Cmd + ,) → Cascade → MCP servers → Add Server → Add custom server, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.zite.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

A browser window opens to complete the Zite sign-in.

Zed

Open settings (Cmd + ,) and add:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "zite": {
      "source": "custom",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.zite.com/mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

Any client that supports remote MCP servers can connect with:

URL — https://mcp.zite.com/mcp
Transport — HTTP (streamable)
Auth — OAuth

For clients that only support local (stdio) servers, bridge to the remote server with mcp-remote:

npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.zite.com/mcp
