Fodda MCP Server

Expert-curated knowledge graphs for AI agents — PSFK Retail, Beauty, Sports and partner datasets via the Model Context Protocol.

Quick Start

Claude (Web — Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise)

Get your personal MCP URL at app.fodda.ai → Connections (format: https://mcp.fodda.ai/c/<your-token>)
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, and click Add
Start chatting with your Fodda knowledge graphs

Note: Legacy URL query-string parameter authentication is deprecated and returns HTTP 401 with instructions. Get your fresh MCP URL or connect via OAuth at app.fodda.ai.

Claude Code (CLI)

# Connect via OAuth:
claude mcp add --transport http fodda https://mcp.fodda.ai/mcp

# Or with an API key:
claude mcp add --transport http fodda https://mcp.fodda.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Note on Dynamic Partner Skills: When partner skills (such as Paralogy or Igloo) are enabled for a user's account, additional specialized tools (e.g. paralogy_analyze_trends, ideation tools) are dynamically registered on the MCP server and made available automatically.

Note on System Utilities: The server also registers several helper and account management utilities (e.g., get_my_account, toggle_graph_preference, update_user_profile, manage_scheduled_reports, send_feedback) to allow the AI assistant to query subscription status, manage scheduled briefings, or save personalization settings directly.

Discovery Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
`GET /health`	Health check (`{ "status": "ok", "version": "..." }`)
`POST /mcp`	MCP endpoint — call the standard `tools/list` method on an initialized session to retrieve full tool schemas and capabilities

Authentication

Preferred — HTTP header (used by the directory connection and all header-capable clients). Pass your Fodda API key as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...

The server also accepts the key via an X-API-Key: sk_live_... header.

In MCP request _meta:

{ "_meta": { "authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." } }

Connection URLs. Web connector clients use personal tokenized connection URLs (https://mcp.fodda.ai/c/<token>) generated in your Connections dashboard. Raw keys in URLs are not accepted.

Configuration

Variable	Description	Default
`PORT`	HTTP server port	`8080`
`FODDA_API_URL`	Upstream API base URL	`https://api.fodda.ai`
`FODDA_MCP_SECRET`	HMAC signing secret for API requests	—
`NODE_ENV`	Environment (`development` / `production`)	`production`

Privacy Policy

Summary of how the Fodda MCP server handles data (the hosted policy is authoritative):

What we collect. Account information (name, email, organization) to manage your account; usage data — API queries (query text, graph accessed, timestamps) logged for billing, service improvement, and abuse prevention; and standard technical data (IP, browser type, referral URLs). We do not store the full content of AI-generated responses. Your API key authenticates requests and is never returned in tool output.
How it's used. To provide and improve the Services, process billing, enforce rate limits and prevent abuse, communicate support/service updates, and meet legal obligations. Requests are proxied to the Fodda API (https://api.fodda.ai) over TLS.
Third-party sharing. We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only with service providers (e.g. payment processors, cloud hosting) under confidentiality agreements, or when required by law.
AI model training. Fodda does not use your queries or data to train AI models. Knowledge graphs are expert-curated, not generated from user interactions.
Retention. Account information is retained while your account is active; query logs are retained for billing and analytics. You may request account/data deletion via the contact below.
Security. TLS-encrypted connections, API-key authentication, and secure cloud infrastructure.
Contact. Privacy inquiries: privacy@fodda.ai.
