Model Context Protocol (MCP) is coming soon!

We are excited to announce that GetProfile will soon support a Model Context Protocol (MCP) for our API. This will allow you to integrate real-time profile data directly into your LLM-powered tools, such as ChatGPT, Claude, or custom AI agents.

​
What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a secure, structured interface that allows AI assistants and LLM tools (like Claude, GPT-4, or LangChain agents) to access external data sources — in this case, the GetProfile API.

This lets your AI workflows pull live profile data (like interests, traits, and updates) directly from your tenant’s profiles in real time.

​
Setting Up MCP with Claude Desktop (or other tools)

Follow these steps to connect Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible app) to our MCP server:

​
Install Claude Desktop

Download and install Claude Desktop from claude.ai/download.

​
Access Developer Settings

  • Open Claude Desktop.
  • Click on the Claude menu in the top bar.
  • Select Settings.
  • Go to the Developer tab.
  • Click Edit Config to open the configuration file.

​
Configure the MCP Server

In the claude_desktop_config.json file, add our GetProfile MCP server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getprofile": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mint-mcp add docs.getprofile-ai.com"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your tenant’s API key from the GetProfile dashboard.

✅ Tip: You can add multiple MCP servers if needed (like local filesystem, etc.).

​
4️⃣ Restart Claude Desktop

Save your changes and restart Claude Desktop to activate the new MCP server configuration.

​
Using MCP Tools with Claude

Once configured:

✅ Open a new conversation in Claude Desktop. ✅ Click the Tools icon in the chat window. ✅ You’ll see the GetProfile MCP tool available. ✅ You can now ask Claude to fetch live profile data using your tenant’s API key.

For example:

“Show me Alex’s hobbies and mood.”

Claude will: 1️⃣ Identify the GetProfile MCP tool. 2️⃣ Request permission to use it. 3️⃣ Fetch the real-time profile data. 4️⃣ Provide the result in your conversation.

​
🔒 Security Considerations

  • Claude (or any AI assistant) asks for your permission before running MCP tools.
  • You can grant access once or for the entire conversation.
  • Review each request to ensure you’re comfortable with the data shared.

​
Troubleshooting

✅ Verify your API key is correct. ✅ Ensure you restarted Claude Desktop after configuration. ✅ Check that Node.js and npx are installed (npx is bundled with Node). ✅ If you see errors, review Claude’s logs for details.

​
🔗 Using with Other MCP-Compatible Tools

The GetProfile MCP server works with any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol — not just Claude Desktop.

Configuration steps may vary depending on the app, but the core usage remains the same:

  • Point to the MCP server package
  • Pass your API key
  • Use live profile data in your LLM workflows!
