What is ECN MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools and data. ECN runs an MCP server so tools like Claude Code and Cursor can work directly inside your Earth Care Network workspace — using your organization’s context and credits.

​
Why use it?

  • Talk to your workspace in natural language. Search the directory, read a business Context Pack, qualify a lead, or draft outreach — without leaving your editor.
  • Run the prospecting engine from anywhere. Discover aligned buyers, talent, and investors with live buying signals.
  • Org-scoped and metered. Every key is tied to one organization, and every AI action is metered in credits just like in the app.

​
Getting started

1

Create an MCP key

Sign in as an org owner → Settings → Connect external AI tools → Create key. The ecn_mcp_… secret is shown once — copy it.
2

Connect your client

Follow the guide for your tool:

Claude Code

Cursor

Using Claude.ai connectors or a ChatGPT app? See Official connectors.
3

Use a tool

Ask your assistant to search the directory or find prospects. Browse the full tools reference and sample prompts.

Endpoint

EnvironmentURL
Productionhttps://api.earthcare.network/mcp/
Testhttps://ecn-test-test.up.railway.app/mcp/
Localhttp://localhost:8000/mcp/
The MCP server lives on the API origin, not the web origin — use api.earthcare.network, not earthcare.network. Friendly API hostnames are being finalized during the v2 rollout; on test, the backend origin is currently the Railway URL shown above.
Health check (no auth): GET /mcp/health/ returns the protocol version and the list of available tool names.

​
Generic / remote MCP setup

Any MCP client that supports a remote HTTP server can connect by pointing at the endpoint above and sending the API key as a bearer token: 
URL:    https://api.earthcare.network/mcp/
Header: Authorization: Bearer ecn_mcp_YOUR_KEY
The server speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 and implements initialize, tools/list, and tools/call. tools/list is public; tools/call requires a valid key.
ECN’s MCP surface is part of the active v2 refactor. The Claude Code and Cursor paths below are supported today; the OAuth-based one-click connectors are tracked on the roadmap.
