Connect your assistant

Connect from a chat app

Use a custom connector with https://api.powerups-ai.store/mcp, then sign in to AI Power Ups and allow the connection. No API key or local MCP package is needed. Manage or disconnect it from Connected apps. Public store listings are not yet available.

• claude.ai, Claude Desktop and mobile: On Claude web or Desktop: Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector. Paste this server URL, then connect and sign in. Team and Enterprise owners must add the connector for their organization first. Once connected, you can also use it on mobile.

  Tested 2026-09-19 — Claude web (OAuth). Tool calls and follow-ups. Host removal and fresh reconnection still need separate testing.

  Documented setup — Claude Desktop and mobile (OAuth). We have not completed our own end-to-end test in these native apps.

  Official setup guide
• ChatGPT: Enable Developer mode in Settings → Security and login, then open chatgpt.com/plugins and select + to add an app. Paste this MCP server URL, choose OAuth, then sign in and allow the connection. Availability depends on your account and workspace policy.

  Tested 2026-09-19 — ChatGPT web custom connection (OAuth). Tool calls and follow-ups. In our 19 September test, removing the connection in ChatGPT did not revoke the server grant; revoke from Connected apps in AI Power Ups to be sure.

  Documented setup — ChatGPT native mobile (OAuth). We have not completed our own end-to-end test. A custom connection does not establish directory availability.

  Official setup guide
• Gemini app: Set up on the web at gemini.google.com → Settings → Connected Apps (or Personal Intelligence) → Custom Apps → paste this MCP URL, then sign in.

Connect manually

Create an API key in your dashboard for the API-key examples below. Claude Code and the published plugins also support browser sign-in. Replace the placeholder with your key and keep it private.

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http ai-power-ups https://api.powerups-ai.store/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"

How your assistant uses it

1. Discover: list capabilities and see which are available.
2. Inspect: read the exact input fields and examples for a capability.
3. Execute: run a search and receive records with reusable identifiers.
4. Follow up: request more results, adjust the search or open a record's details.

For example, search academic papers with academic.search, then use the returned search_id with follow_up and action: "more".

Performance stages

Sharpen sends a task and draft to a reviewer from a different model family. The reviewer considers the task independently, then identifies omissions and problems in the draft. Your assistant uses the review to revise its answer.

Stock means Sharpen is off. Enable it in your settings and choose Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 or Stage 3+. Ask “take it to Stage 3+” for a single review at that stage; the assistant passes stage: "stage3+" to sharpen. Omit stage to use your saved setting. A one-answer choice does not change that setting, and usage reflects the reviewers that actually complete.

• Stage 1: A fast reviewer model approaches the task blind, then critiques the draft. Typically 10 usage tokens per review.
• Stage 2: A stronger frontier reviewer for work where the details matter. Typically 40 usage tokens per review.
• Stage 3: The strongest reviewer available, for high-stakes output. Typically 120 usage tokens per review.
• Stage 3+: Two Stage 3 reviewers from different model families, run in parallel. Typically 240 usage tokens per review.

The task, context and draft are sent through OpenRouter to the reviewing model provider. Share only content you have permission to send. Read the privacy policy for retention and providers.

Usage tokens

Free sources cost no tokens. Paid searches and Sharpen reviews use tokens based on provider cost, rounded up per call. The free plan includes 500 tokens each month. See plan allowances and pricing.

Integration guide for developers

Building an application rather than connecting an assistant? Start with the developer quickstart and the capability reference. Agents can read the integration guide or the OpenAPI document for schemas, examples and error handling.
