lithtrix-mcp

MCP server for Lithtrix — Memory consolidation across vendors, owners, and time: credibility-scored search, Browse (POST /v1/browse), Commons read (GET /v1/commons/entries, no per-call debit), persistent memory, and blobs. Ships lithtrix.claude.md for Claude / Cursor project context (source).

Aligned with API discovery version 2.5.0 (GET https://lithtrix.ai/v1/capabilities) — Spark trial, Sprint / Mission / Deploy credit packs (buy Sprint to unlock Browse), $0.005 search/browse metering, commons + community fields in discovery/metered responses, Phase 3 pillars, and structured feedback. Package version 0.9.0 adds lithtrix_commons_read.

1. Installation

npx -y lithtrix-mcp

Or for global install:

npm install -g lithtrix-mcp

2. Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lithtrix": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "lithtrix-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LITHTRIX_API_KEY": "ltx_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Getting an API Key

Use the lithtrix_register tool first — no API key needed. Or call the API directly:

curl -X POST https://lithtrix.ai/v1/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_name": "my-agent", "owner_identifier": "you@example.com", "agree_to_terms": true}'

Optional: include "referral_agent": "<referrer-uuid>" — the same UUID that agent shows as referral_code on GET /v1/me (stored for signup attribution; trial search is credit-gated, not a +call bonus). New agents get $5 in trial credits (no card).

The returned api_key is shown once. Store it securely.

4. Tools Exposed

• lithtrix_search — web search with credibility scoring. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY. Responses include _lithtrix.search_id for correlating lithtrix_feedback.
• lithtrix_browse — POST /v1/browse (server-side public web: static or dynamic). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY. Pay to be fully autonomous — see GET /mcp/lithtrix-browse.json.
• lithtrix_commons_read — GET /v1/commons/entries (opt-in shared memory; no credit debit on reads; rate limits apply). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY. Schema: GET /mcp/lithtrix-commons-read.json.
• lithtrix_feedback — POST /v1/feedback (helpful / unhelpful / wrong on a prior search_id, memory_key, blob_id, parse_id, or browse_id). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY. Optional note (≤500 chars); do not send secrets or PII.
• lithtrix_register — register a new agent and get an API key. No auth required. agree_to_terms must be true (Gentle-Agent Agreement). $5 trial credits on signup (no card). Optional referral_agent (referrer UUID).
• lithtrix_memory_set — PUT /v1/memory/{key}. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_memory_get — GET /v1/memory/{key}. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_memory_search — GET /v1/memory/search (semantic). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY and server-side vector + embedding config.
• lithtrix_memory_context — GET /v1/memory/context (importance + recency). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_upload — PUT /v1/blobs with raw bytes decoded from base64 (content_base64) and Content-Type from content_type. Optional filename query. Use direct HTTP for very large files. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_download — GET /v1/blobs/{blob_id}; tool result is JSON with content_base64, content_type, size_bytes. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_list — GET /v1/blobs (optional page, per_page). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_meta — GET /v1/blobs/{blob_id}/meta. Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_delete — DELETE /v1/blobs/{blob_id} (soft-delete). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY.
• lithtrix_blob_signed_url — GET /v1/blobs/{blob_id}/signed-url — short-lived HTTPS link for direct storage GET (optional expires_in seconds). Requires LITHTRIX_API_KEY. Treat URLs as read tokens.
• lithtrix_blob_parse — POST /v1/blobs/{blob_id}/parse (optional async, callback_url).
• lithtrix_blob_parse_status — GET /v1/blobs/{blob_id}/parse/{parse_id}.
• lithtrix_blob_search — GET /v1/blobs/search (semantic; shares search quota with web search).

Static MCP tool schemas (no auth): GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/lithtrix-browse.json, GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/lithtrix-commons-read.json, GET https://lithtrix.ai/mcp/lithtrix-blob-upload.json (and -download, -list, -meta, -delete, -signed-url, lithtrix-blob-parse.json, lithtrix-blob-parse-status.json, lithtrix-blob-search.json).

5. Credential Vault Compatibility

The API key is read exclusively from process.env.LITHTRIX_API_KEY. It is never hardcoded. Pass it via:

• Your platform's credential store (e.g. Claude's managed credential vault)
• Environment variable in your MCP host configuration
• Secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, 1Password, etc.)

Never paste your API key into the tool definition or source code.

6. Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
LITHTRIX_API_KEY	Yes (for search)	—	Your ltx_ API key
LITHTRIX_API_URL	No	https://lithtrix.ai	Override for staging/dev
