@intangle/mcp-server

Model Context Protocol server for Intangle - Intelligent AI context that persists across conversations.

What is Intangle?

Intangle is an AI context system that gives Claude and other AI assistants persistent, searchable context across all your conversations and isolated spaces. Unlike traditional chat interfaces where context is lost between sessions, Intangle maintains your personal context across isolated spaces, with intelligent storing and retrieval.

Important: You need an Intangle account to use this MCP server. Sign up at renvoi.co/intangle

Setup

1. Create an Intangle account at renvoi.co/intangle and get your API key from Settings → Connect

2. **Configure Provider Access **

Claude code by running the command below (recommend "-s" user for global across projects):

claude mcp add intangle -s user --env MCP_API_KEY=<your-api-key-here> --env NEXT_APP_URL=https://renvoi.co/intangle -- npx -y @intangle/mcp-server

If your deployment is behind Vercel Deployment Protection (for example staging), add:

--env VERCEL_BYPASS_TOKEN=<your-vercel-bypass-token>

Standard MCP (Claude desktop, Cursor): by adding to your claude_desktop_config.json or mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "intangle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@intangle/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "NEXT_APP_URL": "https://renvoi.co/intangle",
        "VERCEL_BYPASS_TOKEN": "optional-vercel-bypass-token-for-protected-deployments"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The config file location varies by OS:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

3. Restart Claude Desktop to load the MCP server

Claude Code live Tan channel (opt-in preview)

The MCP server can forward new Tan-addressed messages from one explicitly bound Intangle Room into an already-running Claude Code session and send replies back through intangle_channel_reply. It does not attach to a session that was started before the channel was enabled, and it does not replay older messages.

This custom channel requires Node.js 21 or later. The standard Intangle MCP tools continue to support Node.js 18. Claude Code currently treats custom channels as development channels; its channels feature is a research preview.

Configure the Intangle MCP server with the exact Space, conversation, and participant IDs to receive Tan's addressed messages:

claude mcp add intangle -s user \
  --env MCP_API_KEY=<your-intangle-api-key> \
  --env NEXT_APP_URL=https://renvoi.co/intangle \
  --env INTANGLE_CLAUDE_CHANNEL_ENABLED=1 \
  --env INTANGLE_CLAUDE_CHANNEL_SPACE_ID=<space-id> \
  --env INTANGLE_CLAUDE_CHANNEL_CONVERSATION_ID=<conversation-id> \
  --env INTANGLE_CLAUDE_CHANNEL_PARTICIPANT_ID=<agent-participant-id> \
  -- npx -y @intangle/mcp-server

Then start a new Claude Code session with the custom channel explicitly enabled:

claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:intangle

Claude Code shows a development-channel warning and may ask you to trust the MCP server. Messages arrive only while that session is open. Remove the three INTANGLE_CLAUDE_CHANNEL_* scope values or omit the enabled flag to return to ordinary MCP-only behavior.

Usage

Once configured, Claude works with Intangle by talking to Tan, Intangle's coordinating agent, in a shared Room. Ask Tan to remember, find or change something, and Tan decides what is surfaced and saved.

Available Tools

This package lists and runs exactly the tools the Intangle remote connector shows, so STDIO, SSE and the HTTPS connector behave the same:

• message - Ask Tan in a Room and get its reply
• fetch_conversation_messages, inbox, watch_room - Read and follow Rooms (watch_room streams or polls; the older list_conversation_inbox, subscribe_conversation and mark_conversation_read names still work)
• view_spaces - List the Spaces you can reach
• usage_status - Plan and usage
• get_items - Read Items by id, such as the files a HighQ review returns
• update_items - Write Items (kept for now; prefer asking Tan)
• HighQ review tools, only when the Space has HighQ connected: HIGHQ_LIST_PENDING_REVIEWS, HIGHQ_GET_LEGAL_REVIEW_CONTEXT, HIGHQ_FILL_LEGAL_REPORT, HIGHQ_GET_REQUEST_STATUS
• intangle_channel_reply - Only in Claude Code channel mode, replies to Tan

Troubleshooting

If Claude can't access your context:

1. Verify your API key is correct
2. Check that the MCP server is listed in Claude's tool menu
3. Ensure you have an active internet connection
4. Try restarting Claude Desktop
