MyTelescope Orchestrator MCP Server

A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from MyTelescope.

What is MyTelescope?

MyTelescope is a demand intelligence platform for marketers and growth teams. It turns real-world search and behavioral signals into decisions — which keywords are rising, which markets are heating up, which competitors are gaining share, and where to place the next bet.

Core capabilities exposed through this MCP server include:

Demand signals — track how demand for a topic, product, or category evolves over time and geography.
Priorities & share — calculate relative demand share between competitors, brands, or keywords.
Trajectory & forecasting — project where demand is heading (short-term and seasonal).
Emerging demand — surface fast-growing topics before they become obvious.
Signal collections — query curated, private, or public collections of market signals.
Location intelligence — scope any analysis to a country, region, or city.

By connecting MyTelescope to an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), you can ask questions like "is demand for X rising in Germany?" or "who's gaining share in the running-shoe category this quarter?" and get grounded, data-backed answers inside your normal workflow.

Authentication

The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE backed by Firebase. You do not need to paste an API key — your MCP client handles the flow automatically.

What happens when you connect:

Your MCP client connects to the server and receives a 401 challenge.
The client opens MyTelescope's hosted login page in your browser.
You sign in with your MyTelescope account (email/password or Google).
The browser redirects back to your client, which receives and stores an access token.
All subsequent MCP calls include the token automatically.

To use MyTelescope through MCP you need a MyTelescope account. If you don't have one, sign up at mytelescope.io. Tool calls are metered against your account's credit balance, the same way they are inside the MyTelescope web app.

Client setup

Pick the path that matches how you use Claude (or your MCP client of choice). All paths end at the same OAuth login screen on first connection.

Option 1 — Claude.ai / Claude Desktop (no config files, UI only)

This is the easiest path. On Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plans (Free allows one custom connector):

Open Claude → Settings → Connectors.
Click + Add custom connector.

Paste the URL:

https://mytelescope-orchestrator-mcp-amjjfcdvoa-uc.a.run.app/mcp

Click Add.
Click Connect on the new "MyTelescope" connector — a browser window opens for MyTelescope login; sign in and you're done.

No JSON files, no npx, no Node.js required. Claude handles the OAuth handshake and token refresh automatically.

On Team/Enterprise workspaces, an Owner adds the connector once; members click Connect and sign in individually.

Option 2 — `npx mcp-remote` config (any stdio MCP client)

For clients that use JSON config files — or older Claude Desktop versions that don't have the Connectors UI — use the mcp-remote bridge. Run on the fly via npx, handles OAuth + token caching, requires Node.js 18+.

Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mytelescope": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mytelescope-orchestrator-mcp-amjjfcdvoa-uc.a.run.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http mytelescope \
  https://mytelescope-orchestrator-mcp-amjjfcdvoa-uc.a.run.app/mcp

If your version of Claude Code doesn't support --transport http yet, use the same npx mcp-remote config as Claude Desktop above.

Cursor (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`)

Cursor supports remote servers directly — no mcp-remote bridge needed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mytelescope": {
      "url": "https://mytelescope-orchestrator-mcp-amjjfcdvoa-uc.a.run.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / other stdio-only clients

Use the same npx mcp-remote snippet shown for Claude Desktop.

First-run login

Whichever path you use, the first connection opens your browser at MyTelescope's hosted login page. Sign in with your MyTelescope account; your token is cached (by Claude, or by mcp-remote under ~/.mcp-auth/) so subsequent sessions are silent until the token expires.

Registry

This server is listed on the official MCP Registry under the namespace io.github.mytelescope/orchestrator.
