  2. Create a new connector: name Knowledge Porridge, server URL https://knowledgeporridge.ai/mcp, authentication OAuth.

Menu names change between app versions; look for "connectors", "apps" or "MCP".

Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other clients

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http knowledge-porridge https://knowledgeporridge.ai/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code to sign in.

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "knowledge-porridge": { "url": "https://knowledgeporridge.ai/mcp" } } }

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

{ "servers": { "knowledge-porridge": { "type": "http", "url": "https://knowledgeporridge.ai/mcp" } } }

Any other client works if it supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in.

  • "Let's learn management with Knowledge Porridge."
  • "What are my biggest gaps?"
  • "Teach me the next thing on my plan."
  • "Quiz me on what's due."
  • "I ran a hiring loop this week, log it as evidence."

Questions about connecting

Do I need a paid AI plan?

That depends on your AI provider: some offer custom connectors (remote MCP servers) only on certain plans. Knowledge Porridge itself is free while in beta.

What does my AI send to Knowledge Porridge?

Only what its tool calls contain: your answers, the terms on your self-map, your whys and notes. Never your conversation.

How do I disconnect?

Remove the connector in your AI's settings, or revoke it under Account → AI connections in the web app. Deleting your account revokes every connection.

Can I use more than one AI?

Yes. Connect as many as you like with the same email; they all read and update the same map.
