Ori runs a local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on localhost:4141. This lets other tools use Ori’s capabilities — memory, tools, and intelligence.

​
What this enables

ToolHow it uses Ori
CursorAsk Ori questions directly from your editor
VS CodeUse Ori as an AI backend with memory
CLI scriptsCall Ori from shell scripts and automation
Custom toolsAny MCP-compatible client can connect

​
Exposed tools

The MCP server exposes 7 tools:
ToolDescription
ask_oriSend a natural language query to Ori
readRead files or directories
writeCreate or modify files
runExecute shell commands
searchSearch the web
crawlExtract content from URLs
systemGet system information

​
Connecting from Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP config: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ori": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4141/mcp"
    }
  }
}

​
Connecting from VS Code

Add to your VS Code settings: 
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "ori": {
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4141/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Connecting via CLI

# Health check
curl http://127.0.0.1:4141/

# MCP endpoint (POST)
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4141/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "ask_ori", "arguments": {"query": "What time zone am I in?"}}}'
The MCP server only accepts connections from localhost. It’s not exposed to the network — only tools running on your machine can connect.
