- See sources for every quote via QuoteSightings
- Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and any MCP client
Most clients: one command. Claude Desktop config file: 2 minutes.
[!success] SuccessNo signup needed to start.Anonymous access: 20 requests/day. For higher limits,create an API keyor authenticate via OAuth device flow (prompted on first use).
Interactive helper that generates config for your client. Or choose your client below.
claude mcp add --transport http quotewise https://mcp.quotewise.io/
Verify withclaude mcp listor/mcpinside a session.
[!info] Info This adds Quotewise to your project-level.mcp.json. Use--scope userfor global config.
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go toSettings>Connectors
- Add the MCP server URL:
Add to your config file using themcp-remotebridge:
{ "mcpServers": { "quotewise": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.quotewise.io/"] } } }
Requires Node.js 18+. Auth via OAuth device flow on first connection.
[!info] Info Claude Desktop does not support remote HTTP servers directly in the config file. Themcp-remotebridge runs a local stdio process that proxies to the remote server.

Copy these instructions into your GPT's system prompt to prevent hallucination and ensure source transparency:
You help users find quotes from 500K+ quotes with source transparency via Quotewise. ## CRITICAL RULE NEVER invent quotes. ALWAYS use Quotewise API. If search returns no results, say "I couldn't find a quote matching that." Don't fabricate or guess. ## Semantic Search (Primary Tool) Use \quotes_list\ with \q\ parameter. This searches by MEANING, not keywords. User describes what they want → you search that description → semantic vectors find conceptual matches. Examples: - "courage during uncertainty" finds Mandela, Roosevelt, etc. - "persistence pays off" finds Edison, Jordan, etc. - "question authority" finds Thoreau, Douglass, etc. ## Finding Specific Authors 1. \originator_search\ → find author by name 2. \originator_quotes\ → get their quotes ## Random Discovery \quote_random\ when users want inspiration without a specific topic. ## Similar Quotes \quote_similar\ (by quote ID) or \quote_similar_by_text\ when users want more like a quote they like. ## Presenting Results - ALWAYS show author name - ALWAYS mention source/work if available (QuoteSightings provides this) - Offer to find similar quotes or more from same author ## Why This Matters People search quotes for different reasons—presentations, inspiration, research, personal use. Quotewise provides source transparency via QuoteSightings. Show users the evidence so they can decide for themselves.

Same public MCP URL. Auth differs by host.
Headerless OAuth works. Add the public URL; the host opens a browser to Quotewise login.
Headerless OAuth does not complete today. After Dynamic Client Registration succeeds, Authorize spins and never openshttps://quotewise.io/oauth/authorize. That is a Grok Bot host limitation, not a missing Quotewise allow-list entry (grokbot://mcp/oauth/callbackis already accepted).
Working customization: public URL, plus an optionalqw_Bearer header for a signed-in session.
{ "url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer qw_YOUR_TOKEN" } }
Create aqw_token on thedeveloper dashboard. Omit the header for anonymous access (20 requests/day). Device-code OAuth is only started by clients that choose that grant; Grok Bot does not.
Any MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers can connect using this configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "quotewise": { "url": "https://mcp.quotewise.io/" } } }
Exact config format varies by client. The URL is alwayshttps://mcp.quotewise.io/.
Cursor IDE and Claude complete headerless OAuth in a local browser. Grok Bot custom MCP does not; use the public URL plus an optionalqw_Bearer header. Some CLI clients start OAuth device flow on first use.
- Verify you can reachhttps://mcp.quotewise.io/from your network
- Corporate firewalls may block the connection
- For the Claude Desktop config file method, ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (required bymcp-remote)
- API tokens use theqw_prefix. Regenerate your key at thedeveloper dashboard
- Cursor IDE and Claude open a browser for headerless OAuth. Grok Bot custom MCP does not; passAuthorization: Bearer qw_…instead
- Some CLI clients start OAuth device flow. If prompted, open the URL and enter the displayed code
- Anonymous access (20 requests/day) works without any authentication
- After adding the server config, restart your MCP client
- Use thepingtool to verify connectivity
