Developer guide
For developers embedding Findip into their own service or self-hosting an MCP server in a custom LLM environment. If you're a regular user connecting Claude or ChatGPT, start with the AI connect guide.
Embed the REST API in your service
Use this when you're integrating search into an environment that doesn't support MCP — web apps, mobile apps, internal tools. REST API keys are issued on request — once you have one, just put it in an HTTP header to start using it.
Endpoint reference
The full reference for the semantic search, stats, and auth endpoints — request parameters, response schema, and error codes — is provided separately when your API key is issued.
# Semantic search example
curl -X POST https://api.findip.ai/api/v1/search/semantic \
-H "X-API-Key: psk_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "solid electrolytes that suppress lithium-dendrite growth",
"top_k": 5
}'Connecting MCP in a custom environment
Findip provides a remote MCP server at https://mcp.findip.ai. There is nothing to install — register the URL with any MCP-capable client and authenticate via OAuth.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.findip.ai - Auth: OAuth (sign in from the client; the connection is established automatically)
- Use case: Custom LLM environments — your own agents or workflows — where multiple agents share a single MCP server
For step-by-step setup with everyday clients like Claude and ChatGPT, see the AI connect guide.
