MCP

Connect Spotka to your AI app

Spotka speaks MCP.

Add one line to Claude, Cursor, or any app that speaks MCP, and it can find things to do, make events, and answer invitations for you — in your name, with your own account.

The endpoint

https://spotka.co/api/v1/mcp

It speaks MCP over plain HTTP — one POST per message, which is what Claude, Cursor and Windsurf send. Your key travels in an X-API-Key header.

There is nothing to install and no server to run. Two protocol versions are supported, 2025-06-18 and 2025-03-26; your app picks one on its own.

First, get your key

Open Spotka on the web, Android or iPhone and go to Settings → API access → Create a key — or jump straight there:

Open Spotka settings

You get a short key like spk_4KAS22M1JQFQ. It is shown once. If you lose it, make a new one — it takes one tap, and you can revoke the old one on the same screen.

A key belongs to one person: yours. Whatever you connect can do only what you can do in the app yourself.

Add it to your app

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http spotka https://spotka.co/api/v1/mcp \
  --header "X-API-Key: spk_XXXXXXXXXXXX"

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and most others

These keep a small config file listing the MCP servers they use. Add Spotka to it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotka": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://spotka.co/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "spk_XXXXXXXXXXXX" }
    }
  }
}

Then restart the app. Spotka's tools show up in its tool list.

An app that only lets you paste a URL

Some apps have nowhere to put a header. Put the key in the URL instead — it works exactly the same:

https://spotka.co/api/v1/mcp?key=spk_XXXXXXXXXXXX

Treat that URL like a password, because it now contains one.

Check it worked: open https://spotka.co/api/v1/mcp in a browser. It answers with the server name and the list of tools — no key needed.

What your app can then do

ToolWhat it does
ideasThings to do in the city, picked for you
eventsEvents other members are hosting that suit you
my_eventsEvents you host, events you joined, invitations waiting for you
create_eventAdd an event
update_eventChange an event you host — partial, so anything you leave out stays as it is
inviteInvite people to an event — or make the event and invite in one go
eventOne event in full: status, guests, who is interested
joinTake a seat at someone else's event
leaveGive up a seat you took
respondAccept or decline an invitation — or, as the host, approve a guest's proposed time
archiveRetire an event you host
delete_eventDelete an unpublished draft
inboxWhat is waiting: unread conversations and invitations
conversationOne conversation, without marking it read
mark_readMark a conversation read, on purpose
send_messageSend a message as you — needs a key with messaging enabled
activity_historyWhat this API changed on your account
revoke_inviteTake back an invitation you sent
calendarWhat you have coming up, hosted and joined
profileYour own profile — public half and private context
update_profileChange your own profile; only the fields you name
capabilitiesWhat your key may do, what each tool changes in the world, and how much budget is left
Times and places are ordinary words. Your app should say next Friday at 7pm, not a date format. Spotka works it out, and tells it plainly when a time was not understood — so it can never report an event as Sunday when no time was saved.

A few more tools — actors, seed and reset — exist for writing test suites and work only with a test key. They are described in the full API guide.

Try it

Once it is connected, just ask in ordinary words:

  • "What's on in Warsaw this weekend?"
  • "Any Spotka events I could join on Saturday?"
  • "Make an event: board games, Sunday at 6pm, Kawiarnia Relaks."
  • "Do I have any invitations waiting?"

If you would rather not use MCP at all, the same things work with one curl line — see the full API guide.

Good to know

Invitations send real email

They go out in your name, so it is worth telling your assistant to check with you before it invites anyone.

Limits and speed

Same key, same limits as the rest of the API — a per-minute and per-day call budget, a tighter one for events and invites, and a daily cap on people invited. What you have left is in the X-RateLimit-Remaining header of every reply.

The numbers, and how long each call takes, are on the full API guide — kept in one place on purpose, so the two pages cannot quietly disagree about them. If you need more, write to support@spotka.co.

If your app cannot connect

  • The endpoint answers POST. There is no server-to-client stream, so a client that insists on one is told so plainly rather than left hanging.
  • A key that is missing or wrong shows up on the first real call, not at connect time — the tool list is public on purpose.
  • Still stuck? Write to support@spotka.co.
