For your AI · Model Context Protocol

Bring the tools to your AI.

If you work in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another assistant that supports MCP, add this site as a connector. Your AI can then run the § 3006 decision tree, pull budget ranges and cite Code Watch directly, without you leaving the chat.

Server URL

https://thesmokecurtainguy.com/api/mcp

Free, read-only, no sign-in. Streamable HTTP.

How to add it

  1. Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
  2. ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors (developer mode) → create a connector with the URL.
  3. Cursor / VS Code / others: add a remote MCP server with the URL in your MCP settings.

Menu names change often; look for “connectors” or “MCP servers.”
