Tailor exposes its document, review, sharing, signing, pages, and PACT/TAP coordination tools to any MCP-compatible runtime — over the streamable HTTP transport at api.tailor.au/mcp or locally over stdio with the Tailor CLI.
Remote MCP (HTTPS)
Hosted runtimes like Anthropic remote connectors, Claude Code on a server, Codex/Apps SDK plugins, and any agent that can’t spawn npx should connect over the streamable HTTP transport at https://api.tailor.au/mcp. Authentication is by scoped API key today; OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client Registration is planned and gated by #1381.

Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, the local Codex CLI, and any local Node-capable MCP host can run the Tailor MCP server over stdio via the published CLI. The CLI talks to the API host (https://api.tailor.au), not the web app.
npm install -g @tailor-app/cli
export TAILOR_API_KEY=tailor_sk_YOUR_KEY
export TAILOR_BASE_URL=https://api.tailor.au # talks to the API host, not the web app
npx @tailor-app/cli mcp serveAdd a mcpServers.tailor entry pointing at npx @tailor-app/cli mcp serve with TAILOR_API_KEY in the env. Or run tailor connect <platform> --write to install it for you.
Standard MCP transport — stdio or streamable HTTP. Works with LangChain MCP adapters, CrewAI, AutoGen, and any host that speaks the protocol.

Full Tailor toolset — documents, review, sharing, signing, pages, PACT/TAP coordination — is exposed when the server runs. The local stdio surface ships every tool today; the remote HTTP surface ships a coordination + read-tool subset (see /docs/agents for the current parity table).
