MCP Integration

The Seemor API uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which means it works natively with any MCP-compatible client.

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "seemor": {
      "url": "https://api.seemor.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_seemor_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

After restarting Claude Desktop, the Seemor tools will appear in the tools menu. You can ask Claude things like:

• "Find me a quiet Italian restaurant in Soho"
• "What's the dining scene like in Shoreditch?"
• "Look up Dishoom and tell me what people love about it"

Other MCP clients

Any client that supports the MCP HTTP+SSE transport can connect to Seemor. The configuration pattern is the same:

• Endpoint: https://api.seemor.ai/api/mcp
• Protocol: JSON-RPC 2.0
• Authentication: Authorization: Bearer sk_seemor_YOUR_KEY header
• Transport: HTTP POST with SSE response

Using without an MCP client

You can call the API directly via HTTP. Every request is a POST with a JSON-RPC 2.0 body:

curl -X POST https://api.seemor.ai/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_seemor_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "find_restaurant",
      "arguments": { "name": "Barrafina", "city": "London" }
    }
  }'

See the Quickstart for a complete walkthrough.
