What is the Heuresis MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Heuresis MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Read & write your Heuresis idea graph and run TRIZ/C-K/ASIT operators from your AI assistant.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a Heuresis workspace to any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents). The server logs into the user's Heuresis account, talks to the same Supabase project the webapp talks to, and respects the same RLS. Webapp and MCP are two front-ends to one cloud workspace.

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @heuresis/mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: HEURESIS_SNAPSHOT, HEURESIS_ANON_KEY, HEURESIS_SUPABASE_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by ToremLabs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Heuresis's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

It connects Heuresis to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Heuresis directly.
