What’s this week’s pulse?

If Whimbrel MedTech Analyst answers with sourced events from the free feed (pulse, signal of the day, NSF awards, federal contracts, or NIH when that window has news), the install worked. Quiet NIH weeks still count.

Claude Code

Try this first:

Run this, then finish OAuth with /mcp if prompted, then ask what's this week's pulse:
claude mcp add --transport http whimbrel https://data.whimbrelresearch.com

If the prompt doesn’t work

Same command in a normal terminal, then /mcp if prompted, then ask: What’s this week’s pulse?

claude mcp add --transport http whimbrel https://data.whimbrelresearch.com

ChatGPT / Codex

Try this first (ChatGPT desktop, Codex, or IDE):

Run this, then Authenticate / Continue free at Whimbrel sign-in, then ask what's this week's pulse:
codex mcp add whimbrel --url https://data.whimbrelresearch.com

If the prompt doesn’t work

1. Desktop / IDE: Settings → MCP servers → Add server → Streamable HTTP.
2. Paste https://data.whimbrelresearch.com, save/restart, then Authenticate / Continue free at Whimbrel sign-in.
3. Ask: What’s this week’s pulse?

CLI:

codex mcp add whimbrel --url https://data.whimbrelresearch.com

Or config.toml (~/.codex/config.toml or project .codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.whimbrel]
url = "https://data.whimbrelresearch.com"

ChatGPT web does not use Codex config. Use Developer mode → Apps → Create with the MCP URL (Business / Enterprise / Edu; Pro limited) or published Plugins. Desktop, CLI, and the IDE extension still work on every plan.

Cursor

Customize → MCPs, or save this Cursor config (not the VS Code servers shape) as .cursor/mcp.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{"mcpServers":{"whimbrel":{"url":"https://data.whimbrelresearch.com"}}}

Then ask: What’s this week’s pulse?

If the prompt doesn’t work

Confirm Customize → MCPs shows Whimbrel, or that the JSON above is in .cursor/mcp.json / ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Restart Cursor, then ask: What’s this week’s pulse?

VS Code (Copilot)

Command Palette / MCP UI → add server with the URL above. Or team file .vscode/mcp.json:

{"servers":{"whimbrel":{"type":"http","url":"https://data.whimbrelresearch.com"}}}

Then ask: What’s this week’s pulse?

Other MCP

Try this first:

Connect to https://data.whimbrelresearch.com over Streamable HTTP + OAuth, choose Continue free at Whimbrel sign-in, then ask: What's this week's pulse?
