Get started with Dcipher MCP Server

Dcipher MCP Server is a cloud-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives your AI client secure, real-time access to your Dcipher workspace in one conversation.

Written by Zafer Çavdar

Connect it once, and your AI client can create knowledge bases, configure Insight Booster workbenches, run reports, and ask the Research Bot questions using natural language, without switching tabs.

Supported clients

Dcipher MCP Server works with any client that supports the MCP Streamable HTTP transport and OAuth 2.1 authorization with PKCE, including:

How it works

With Dcipher MCP Server, you can:

  • Search and summarize documents across your knowledge bases

  • Stand up a new knowledge base from news, social media, uploaded files, or a research-agent task

  • Configure and update Insight Booster workbenches (Landscape, Radar, Growth, Bump, Matrix, Scenario)

  • Ask the Research Bot questions about a project's data

  • Generate report sections and run scenario analyses

Connect once, then describe what you want:
​

  • "List the knowledge bases in my organization."

  • "Create a Landscape workbench for the 'Battery Materials' project."

  • "Ask the research bot what changed for Project X in the last quarter."

  • "Search the 'Q2 News' knowledge base for mentions of solid-state batteries."

No tab switching. No copy-pasting. Your AI client selects and runs the right tools.

Get started

Step 1: Connect your client

Claude Code

Run the following command:

claude mcp add --transport http dcipher https://mcp.dcipheranalytics.com/mcp

Run /mcp once you've opened a Claude Code session to authenticate.

Add this to your config file:
​

{
  "mcpServers": {
     "dcipher": {
        "url": "https://mcp.dcipheranalytics.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP-compatible clients

Use this server URL:

https://mcp.dcipheranalytics.com/mcp

Step 2: Authenticate

After setup, sign in when your client starts the Dcipher authentication flow - you'll be redirected to your usual Dcipher login, then asked to approve access for your client on a consent screen. See Authentication and authorization for details.
​

Dcipher MCP Server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, so it never sees or stores your password, and every action is scoped to your existing Dcipher permissions.

Disclaimer: MCP clients can perform actions on your Dcipher organization's data using your existing permissions. Use least privilege, review high-impact changes before confirming, and monitor activity for anything unexpected.
