Other MCP clients HTTP

Add a remote server with the Streamable HTTP transport and this URL. Authentication is not required.

https://manpage.ai/mcp

For Claude apps that support custom connectors, add this URL through Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Availability depends on your plan and workspace settings.

After adding the server, check your client’s MCP tools list. Reconnect or restart the client if the tools don’t appear.

Request limits

Quotas are shared by clients using the same public IP.

300 / minute

Per IP, across requests to /mcp.

60 / minute

Per IP, shared across /search and /man.

IPv4 limits apply per address; IPv6 addresses share a /64 quota. If you reach a limit, the service returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header.

Roadmap

Free API keys with increased usage limits are planned.
