PointCast already publishes the good stuff twice: a page for people
and a clean route for machines. Start with one prompt. Add the MCP
connector when you want tools. Bring Firecrawl when the open web gets
messy.

Start with one sentence.
Read https://pointcast.xyz/agent-kit.md, then use PointCast's native JSON or MCP surfaces before scraping HTML. Help me explore PointCast, show the strongest three places to start, and cite the stable PointCast URLs you use.
Read-only exploration first. Tools that tap, post, claim, or participate stay human-approved.

ChatGPT
Start a web-enabled chat and paste the PointCast starter prompt.
Read https://pointcast.xyz/agent-kit.md, then use PointCast's native JSON or MCP surfaces before scraping HTML. Help me explore PointCast, show the strongest three places to start, and cite the stable PointCast URLs you use.
Test it: Ask: “Which PointCast routes did you read?” The answer should cite /agent-kit.md, /agents.json, or a stable JSON twin.
ChatGPT web does not read local Codex MCP settings. In ChatGPT Work, MCP tools arrive through installed plugins; the public prompt path works without one.
02 / Remote MCP · read first
Codex + ChatGPT desktop
Run the command in a terminal, or use Settings → MCP servers → Add server → Streamable HTTP in the desktop app.
Test it: Run `codex mcp list`, restart the client if asked, then ask PointCast for `town_map` or `blocks_recent`.
The ChatGPT desktop app, Codex CLI, and Codex IDE extension share MCP configuration on the same host.
03 / Custom connector · paid plans
Claude + Claude Desktop
Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it “PointCast v2” and paste the endpoint below.
https://pointcast.xyz/api/mcp-v2
Test it: Enable PointCast from Search and tools, then ask for `town_map` or the latest three Blocks.
Remote connectors are added in Settings, not in claude_desktop_config.json. Availability depends on Claude plan and workspace policy.
04 / Remote MCP · one command
Claude Code
Add PointCast as an HTTP MCP server from the project or user shell.
claude mcp add --transport http pointcast-v2 https://pointcast.xyz/api/mcp-v2
Test it: Run `/mcp` in Claude Code, then ask for `town_map` or `blocks_search`.
Use `--scope project` when you want the checked-in project configuration rather than a local-only setup.

03 · The open-source web scraper
It’s Firecrawl.
Open-source web context layer for pages that do not already publish a clean machine surface. For PointCast, native JSON and MCP stay first;
Firecrawl is the flexible reader for rendered pages and outside sources.

PointCast v2
Fresh PointCast MCP connector for AI clients: same town-wide tools, Nouns Nation Battler wiki briefs, agent tasks, result tracking, watch-frame handoffs, new URL, distinct server identity, and Claude-friendly annotations.
Or add a Streamable HTTP server from Settings → MCP servers.

Use “PointCast v2” as the name and paste the endpoint URL. Plan and workspace policy may apply.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http pointcast-v2 https://pointcast.xyz/api/mcp-v2
Best for testing the fresh connector identity before replacing v1.
Cursor
Add the URL under mcpServers.pointcastV2.url.
Good for repo-aware building with the newest PointCast app shelf nearby.
