Add minutark to your AI

• Claude Desktop app (or Claude Web with a custom-connector-capable client)
• Internet access to https://mcp.minutark.ee

In Claude's settings, add an MCP server with type Streamable HTTP and URL:

https://mcp.minutark.ee/

No authentication, no headers, no API key.

See the common issues below.

• ChatGPT Plus or a higher plan (the free plan has no connectors)
• A web browser — chatgpt.com. The connector is added on the web; once added it works in the apps too

minutark is not in the official ChatGPT app directory yet; until then the server is added by hand under settings.

Tell ChatGPT "Install minutark.ee MCP" — it adds the server itself and writes the standing instruction below (measured 2026-09-24: a fresh chat then made 9 tool calls, every § right).

By hand: Settings → Plugins → the Add button → Add MCP Server from its dropdown: name minutark. The transport defaults to STDIO — pick Streamable HTTP; only then does the URL field appear:

https://mcp.minutark.ee/

Authentication: none.

ChatGPT may not use the tool on its own — in our measurements the model only reached for it once the question asked for a citation to the law. Add one sentence under Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions:

For questions about Estonian law, use minutark and cite the sections.

If the answer carries no citation, look for a visible tool call in the chat (ChatGPT and Claude both show it) and a riigiteataja.ee link in the answer. If neither is there, the tool was not used. See also common issues.

• Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
• Internet access

Add the MCP server with the claude mcp add command:

claude mcp add --transport http minutark https://mcp.minutark.ee/

If tools do not appear after adding the server, check that you included --transport http. If you already added it without the flag, remove it and re-add:

claude mcp remove minutark
claude mcp add --transport http minutark https://mcp.minutark.ee/

Then restart Claude Code — config is read at launch.

• VS Code with the GitHub Copilot Chat extension (v0.22+)
• Internet access

Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "minutark": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.minutark.ee/"
    }
  }
}

If tools do not appear, restart VS Code — MCP configuration is read at launch. See common issues.

• Codex CLI, signed in with ChatGPT Plus or higher (or an OpenAI API key)
• A terminal

Tell Codex "Install minutark.ee MCP" — it does this itself. By hand:

codex mcp add minutark --url https://mcp.minutark.ee/

The same entry in ~/.codex/config.toml: [mcp_servers.minutark] with url = "https://mcp.minutark.ee/". Start a new Codex session — the configuration is read at launch.

Codex reads ~/.codex/AGENTS.md at the start of every session (Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions writes the same file). Add one sentence so the tool is used without a reminder:

For questions about Estonian law, use minutark and cite the sections.

If the tools do not appear, check the output of codex mcp list and start a new session. See common issues.

• Cursor editor (v0.45+)
• Internet access

In Cursor settings, add an MCP server with type HTTP and URL:

https://mcp.minutark.ee/

If tools do not appear, restart Cursor — MCP configuration is read at launch. See common issues.

• Any MCP-compatible client supporting Streamable HTTP transport
• Internet access

Configure your client with these three lines:

endpoint: https://mcp.minutark.ee/
transport: streamable-http
auth: none

See common issues below.
