Ideation MCP server

Ideation is the official remote MCP server from actwise.ai. It answers at https://actwise.ai/ideation/mcp/v1 over streamable HTTP and asks you to sign in with your actwise.ai account before it lists its tools, so your client opens a login the first time it connects. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 4 September 2026; the last check, on 17 October 2026, got the sign-in challenge, so it is up.

Actwise Ideation helps founders benchmark startup and product ideas before they build.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

What Ideation needs before it works

A sign-in. The server refused to list its tools to an anonymous client and answered with an authentication challenge, which is how an MCP server protected by OAuth behaves. Add it with one of the setups below; the first connection opens a login for your actwise.ai account, and the tools appear once you have approved it.

Questions about Ideation

How do I add Ideation to Cursor?

Does Ideation need an API key?

It needs a sign-in rather than a key you paste: the server answered with an authentication challenge, so your client runs the login when it first connects.
