Specsight runs a read-only MCP server so AI assistants can read your spec directly. Ask Claude how a feature behaves and it queries your live spec instead of guessing.
This is the outside-in route: your assistant reads the spec wherever you work. To chat with Specsight inside the dashboard, use Ask Specsight.
Connect an AI assistant
Open Integrations → MCP and follow the steps for your tool under Connect your AI assistant. You sign in with your Specsight account. There is no key to copy.
- Claude — add Specsight as a custom connector at claude.ai
- ChatGPT — add as a developer-mode MCP connector
- Claude Desktop — add via the desktop app connector settings
- Claude Code — one terminal command, then sign in
API keys
Most people do not need one: the connectors above sign in with OAuth. Create a key when your tool has no OAuth support, or when you want to share one across a team.
- Open Integrations → MCP
- In API keys, click Create API key
- Name it, for example "Cursor, work laptop", and click Create key
- Copy the key. It starts with sk_sp_ and is shown once
Paste it into your tool as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
What the assistant can read
Specsight exposes twelve read-only tools, which your assistant discovers automatically. It cannot create projects, edit scenarios, invite members or change billing.
