Connect Your Coding Agent to Scopeful MCP

We've launched the Scopeful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Now your coding agents—Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf—can read live AI pricing data and pull verified skills directly into your workspace.

Short version

What to remember

  1. 01

    Scopeful MCP connects your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) to live AI pricing data — no more hallucinated API costs

  2. 02

    8 tools exposed: compare pricing, calculate costs, list tools, recommend tools, retrieve workflows, get skills, list models, get skill

  3. 03

    Free tier: 100 MCP calls/month with no credit card. Pro tier: 3,000 calls/month for power users

  4. 04

    Agents can auto-download verified .md skill files into your project's .claude/skills folder — no copy-paste

  5. 05

    Install in 2 minutes: npm package, streamable HTTP endpoint, or STDIO proxy. Works with any MCP-compatible client

If you are using AI to write code, you know the friction of building with creative AI APIs. You ask your coding agent to implement video generation or image upscaling. It guesses the model. It hallucinates the parameters. And you have no idea if the API you just wired up will cost $0.02 or $2.00 per generation.

Today, we are solving this by launching the Scopeful MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server.

You can now connect your coding agents (like Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf) directly to our database. When your agent is writing code for you, it can read our live pricing data, compare models on the fly, and download production-ready agent skills straight into your codebase.

What Scopeful MCP Does

The server exposes 8 robust tools directly to your agent. Your agent can now:

  1. Compare Tool Pricing: Ask it "What is the cheapest API for generating 1080p video?" and it will query the Scopeful calculator.
  2. Retrieve Workflows: Tell it "I want to build a real estate video pipeline" and it will download our vetted multi-step workflow via the retrieve_workflow tool (Pro subscribers only).
  3. Pull Agent Skills: Your agent can fetch specific .md skills and drop them straight into your project's .claude/skills folder, avoiding the copy-paste dance entirely.

By giving your coding agent access to Scopeful, you are giving it an authoritative brain for navigating the AI API ecosystem.

Free Tier: 100 Calls Per Month

We want every developer to be able to vibe-code with accurate data. That's why every free Scopeful account now includes 100 MCP API calls per month.

There is no credit card required. Just sign up, generate your API key, and you have enough monthly bandwidth to explore tool pricing and download a few skills for your weekend projects.

Pro Tier: 3,000 Calls Per Month

For operators, power users, and engineers who rely heavily on AI-assisted coding to ship production apps, Scopeful Pro includes 3,000 MCP API calls per month.

Pro members also get full access to the $700K+ credits vault, all premium drop-in skills, and complete end-to-end workflow templates.

How to Install

  1. Create a free account and head over to your Pro dashboard to generate an MCP API key.
  2. Add the server to your agent's configuration.

For Claude Code or Claude Desktop, add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scopeful": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scopeful/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCOPEFUL_API_KEY": "sk_mcp_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Cursor, go to Settings > Features > MCP, click "+ Add New MCP Server", choose "command", and use: npx -y @scopeful/mcp (and provide your API key in the environment variables).

Stop letting your agents hallucinate creative AI implementations. Give them the data they need.
