Connecting an AI assistant

Updated August 27, 2026

On this page

Demarka runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant can search trademarks, order assessments and manage monitoring on your behalf — inside the tool you already work in.

The URL

https://api.demarka.io/mcp

That is all you need. Nothing has to be set up in Demarka first.

Setting it up

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http demarka https://api.demarka.io/mcp

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop or claude.ai

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "demarka": { "url": "https://api.demarka.io/mcp" } } }

Any other client

Any client that speaks streamable-HTTP MCP with OAuth will work. Discovery and registration are automatic — the URL is the only configuration.

Approving access

There are no API keys to copy. The first time your assistant calls Demarka:

  1. Your browser opens Demarka’s consent screen, naming the client that is asking.
  2. You sign in if you are not already.
  3. You approve once.

After that, access is renewed silently in the background.

The consent screen has to be approved within 10 minutes. If you leave it too long you get “This authorization request has expired” — just start again from your AI client.

What the assistant can do

One permission level: an approved assistant can do everything you can do in the app. There are no partial scopes.

That includes spending credits, so it is worth reading What your assistant can and cannot do before turning it loose on a long task.

Managing and revoking connections

Account settings → AI assistants lists every connected client with the date it was connected. Disconnect revokes access immediately; the client can be reconnected later by approving again.

Disconnect anything you no longer recognise or no longer use.

Plan requirement

The MCP server is included from Flex upward. It is not part of the Free plan.

If it does not connect

  • Check the URL is exactly https://api.demarka.io/mcp, with no trailing slash.
  • Restart the client after adding the server; most read their config at startup.
  • If the browser never opened, look for a pending authorisation prompt in your client.
  • If you approved but calls still fail, disconnect the client in Account settings and connect it again.
