What is the Litmaps MCP?
Availability: The Litmaps MCP is in beta. Send us your feedback!
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to other apps. The Litmaps MCP connects assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to your Litmaps account.
Once connected, you can ask your assistant to:
Use Litmaps to find the most connected articles in a line of enquiry
Read your Litmaps and Tags to aid your deep research
Add articles to a Litmap from your AI assistant conversation
Your assistant only sees what your Litmaps account can see, and you can disconnect it at any time.
You'll need the Litmaps MCP server address: https://mcp.litmaps.com/mcp
While in beta you'll need to add the Litmaps MCP manually. Supported connectors coming soon.
How to connect Claude
Open Claude and go to "Settings"
Click "Connectors"
Click "Add custom connector"
Name it "Litmaps" and paste the Litmaps MCP server address
Click "Add", then "Connect"
You'll be taken to Litmaps – log in if prompted
Click "Allow" to let Claude access your Litmaps account
Litmaps now appears in your Claude connectors. Start a new chat and ask Claude about your research.
How to connect ChatGPT
Open ChatGPT and go to "Settings"
Click "Apps & Connectors"
Click "Create" and paste the Litmaps MCP server address
