MCP

The AI Ark Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your AI Ark API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The AI Ark MCP server provides AI agents with:

• Direct API access to AI Ark functionality
• Documentation search capabilities
• Real-time data from your AI Ark account
• Lead generation and enrichment for sales and marketing teams

AI Ark MCP Server Setup

AI Ark hosts a remote MCP server at https://api.ai-ark.com/v1/mcp?token={YOUR-API-KEY}. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. Replace {YOUR-API-KEY} with your API key from the AI Ark dashboard. To create your API key, visit your API Management Dashboard.

  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-ark": {
      "url": "https://api.ai-ark.com/v1/mcp?token={YOUR-API-KEY}"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
3. Ask about AI Ark - try questions like:
   • "Search for companies in the technology industry in New York"
   • "Find marketing managers at companies with 50-200 employees"
   • "Find software engineers at Google along with their email addresses"

The AI should now have access to your AI Ark account data and documentation through the MCP server.
