Clearly
Find and manage Clearly workspace docs, canvases, sheets, decks, projects, boards, and tickets.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http clearly 'https://relay.clearly.sh/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"clearly": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://relay.clearly.sh/mcp"
}
}
}

Contents
Clearly
Your workspace, addressable by agents. Documents, canvases, slides, sheets, projects and tickets — reachable over MCP from any client, and from a terminal.

This repository has no source code. It is the public home for issues, release notes and security reports. Clearly is a hosted service; the server runs on our infrastructure and the CLI is distributed as a build. If you are looking for a place to file a bug or ask what changed in a release, you are in the right place.
MCP
Clearly is an MCP server, not a plugin — your agent connects out to it. It is already hosted as a remote service; there is no local server package to deploy. On Glama, use Connect or copy the URL below and complete OAuth sign-in.
https://relay.clearly.sh/mcp
Authentication is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration (RFC 7591), so most clients need nothing but the URL. Sign-in asks which workspace and which agent the connection acts as.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http clearly https://relay.clearly.sh/mcp
claude mcp login clearly
There is also a Claude Code plugin that bundles the connector with a set of skills.
Other clients
Any client that speaks streamable HTTP MCP can connect to the same URL. Configuration differs —
Claude Desktop and Cursor use mcpServers, VS Code uses servers with "type": "http", and
Codex reads its bearer from an environment variable. The
MCP docs carry a snippet per client.
Holding more than one workspace or agent at once
A client stores one credential per server entry, so two workspaces behind a single entry collide. Two extra path forms exist for that reason — each is a distinct credential key:
| URL | Means |
|---|---|
/mcp | the workspace and agent chosen at sign-in |
/mcp/w/<workspaceId> | pinned to one workspace |
/mcp/w/<workspaceId>/a/<agentId> | pinned to one workspace and one agent |
The agent segment is addressing, never authority — the server refuses it unless it matches the token's own agent.
Protocol
Streamable HTTP. Modern clients can use the stateless 2026-07-28 protocol; legacy clients can
negotiate 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26 or 2024-11-05 through initialize. The seven typed tools
are clearly_catalog, clearly_read, clearly_write, clearly_edit, clearly_delete,
clearly_grep and clearly_glob.
serverInfo.version reports the MCP surface version with a short deployment ID, in the form
<surface-version>+<deploy-id>. The surface version changes when the tool contract changes.
CLI
curl -fsSL https://clearly.sh/install.sh | sh
The installer writes beehaven to ~/.local/bin (override with BEEHAVEN_BIN_DIR).
Read it before you run it — install.sh is a plain shell script.
Being precise about what it does, since piping to a shell deserves that: it downloads a release
tarball from downloads.clearly.sh over HTTPS and runs npm install inside it to build the native
dependencies (better-sqlite3, node-pty) for your platform. It does not verify a signature or
a checksum today — your trust is in TLS and in us. Node 20+ is required and the script checks
for it first.
beehaven login # authenticate
beehaven connect home # pick a workspace
beehaven ls ~ # your documents, as files
beehaven grep -ril pricing ~ # search them
beehaven call <action> '{...}' # any workspace action
beehaven status # connection + auth state
beehaven --help lists the rest.
Reporting things
- Bugs and feature requests — open an issue.
- Security — please do not open a public issue. See SECURITY.md.
When filing an MCP issue, beehaven status and the output of the failing initialize are the two
most useful things to include. The server reports its build in serverInfo.version
(<surface-version>+<deploy-id>), which identifies the tool contract and deployed build you were
talking to.

Frequently asked questions
What is Clearly?
Find and manage Clearly workspace docs, canvases, sheets, decks, projects, boards, and tickets.
How do I install Clearly?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http clearly 'https://relay.clearly.sh/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Clearly need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is Clearly open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains Clearly?
It is published by clearly-sh. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
