Connect Hooklayer to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Claude Desktop doesn't natively support remote HTTP MCP servers — it needs the mcp-remote bridge. Two ways to install:. The hooklayer mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
analyze_account — 5search_videos — 1score_hook — 1viral_remix — 3trend_pulse — 1find_viral_template — 1match_voice — 2predict_virality — 2brief_to_blueprint — 7Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Hooklayer's toolset — analyze_account, search_videos, score_hook and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by khan-ashifur; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
