What is it?

The Ordinal MCP server lets AI assistants work inside your Ordinal workspace. Once connected, you can ask Claude, Cursor, or any other MCP-capable assistant to draft posts, schedule them, pull analytics, manage approvals, and more — all using your own Ordinal account.

​
How it works

1

Add the server to your assistant

Follow the installation guide for your client — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code.
2

Sign in with Ordinal

The first time you use it, a browser window opens. Sign in with your Ordinal account and approve access. Your assistant remembers the session — no API keys to copy or paste.
3

Ask the assistant to do something

“List my Ordinal workspaces,” “Draft a LinkedIn post about our launch,” “Show me last week’s engagement analytics.” It picks the right tool and calls it.

​
Signing in

The MCP server uses OAuth — the same kind of sign-in you use when connecting Google or GitHub to a third-party app. Your MCP client opens a browser, you sign in to Ordinal, and the client is granted access on your behalf.
No API keys. The old MCP server used workspace API keys that you copied into your assistant’s config. The new server signs you in as a user, so the assistant can reach every workspace you belong to.

​
Already using the old MCP server?

If you previously set up the server at https://app.tryordinal.com/api/mcp with an API key, you’ll need to swap it out. The old and new servers can’t coexist — if both are configured, your assistant will see duplicate tools and get confused.

Migration guide

Remove the old server and set up the new one
