The telli MCP server lets AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex talk to Charlie, telli’s AI assistant, over the Model Context Protocol. Once connected, you can ask questions and trigger work in telli from the tools you already use.
This is a personal connection. It authorizes the AI tool as you, works across every telli account you can access, and applies your role in each account. Teammates manage their own connections.
Before you start
You need:
- Access to the telli app.
- An AI tool that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP.
Add the telli MCP server to your tool, then authorize it when the tool sends you to telli. The server URL is:
Claude
ChatGPT
Cursor
Codex CLI
Claude Code
Open Claude’s connector settings, add a custom connector, and paste the server URL.
Enable developer mode under Apps & Connectors, then create a connector with the server URL.
Use the Add to Cursor button on the MCP integration page in telli. It opens Cursor and asks to add the telli MCP server.
Run the command below, then authenticate with codex mcp login telli. Run this command in your terminal: How the connection works
You add the telli MCP server to your AI tool. The tool then sends you to telli to authorize the connection via OAuth, and receives its own access credentials once you approve.
Each authorized tool shows up as a connection on the MCP integration page, where you can remove it at any time. Removing a connection stops the tool’s access, though it may keep working for a few minutes until its current token expires.
Once connected, your AI tool can use these tools:
Manage your connections
From the MCP integration page in telli, you can see every AI tool you have authorized, when it was authorized, and remove any connection you no longer need. Removing a connection requires the tool to be authorized again before it can reconnect.
