Recon for any MCP client

Generic setup notes for clients that aren't covered by a per-tool guide. URL, transport, and authentication.

Recon exposes a standard MCP server. Any client that speaks the protocol can connect. This guide is the generic reference for clients without a dedicated setup page (Hermes, OpenClaw, Continue, Cline, Goose, Raycast, custom integrations).

Server details

  • Endpoint: https://askrecon.com/api/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (the 2025-03-26 MCP revision). SSE is not supported; the spec dropped it and Recon followed.
  • Authentication: OAuth 2.0. Resource discovery at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and authorization server metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.

Generic connection steps

  1. Configure your client to use https://askrecon.com/api/mcp as an HTTP MCP server.
  2. On first connection, your client will fetch /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and follow the OAuth flow.
  3. Sign in with your Recon account. The grant is workspace-scoped and read-only.

What you get

Six read-only tools:

ToolWhat it does
get_accountFull memory profile for ONE customer (claims, observations, risk score)
list_accountsRanked list of customers by risk (or recency / claim count)
searchFull-text search across observations and claims
impactCustomers affected by a feature, ticket, or code path
themesCross-account claim clusters
theme_evidenceSource claims behind a theme

See the MCP tools reference for the input schema of each tool.

Already supports MCP?

If your client passed our compatibility check, it appears in the harness section on the landing page by name. If you're using a client that doesn't appear there, it likely still works as long as it speaks Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth. Contact us and we'll add it to the list.
