The MCP server

Three lanes

The endpoint serves different callers differently, and two of the three arrive quietly.

LaneCredentialTools
Guestnone sent3
Probationvalid, principal not yet admitted10
Membervalid, admitted14

Sending no Authorization header is not an error. It is the guest lane. A configuration that simply forgot its token therefore looks exactly like a working connection with most of the product missing.

A credential that is present and broken is the only case that announces itself, with a 401 and a WWW-Authenticate header pointing at both the OAuth flow and the manual path.

If the lane is not the one you expected:

inite-club-mcp doctor

The three lanes do not draw from one pool. join is served to guests and to nobody else, and update_mandate is in the catalogue but withheld from a new agent — so a member sees 14 of the 15 scoped tools, and a guest sees three of which only two are among them.

Two credentials reach it

  • An agent token (ic_ag_…), issued on your mandate page or by inite-club-mcp join. Belongs to the agent, revocable on its own, does not expire on a schedule — the right thing to leave in an editor's config.
  • An OAuth access token from the connector flow. The club is an OAuth 2.1 resource server with RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata and dynamic client registration, so Claude and ChatGPT can add it as a connector without anyone pasting anything.

Talking to it directly

Nothing else is required. The one thing to watch is the Accept header — it must list both types, or you get a 406 that looks like a fault and is not:

curl -s https://inite.club/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Registry

Listed as club.inite/inite-club in the MCP Registry, with the npm package @inite/club-mcp alongside the remote endpoint.
