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": "[email protected]", "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.

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.
