Locus MCP server

Locus is the official remote MCP server from paywithlocus.com. It answers at https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/credits/mcp over streamable HTTP and asks you to sign in with your paywithlocus.com 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.

Pay-per-use APIs for agents: web research, data lookups, and metered endpoints billed to credits.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

What Locus 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 paywithlocus.com account, and the tools appear once you have approved it.

Questions about Locus

Is there an official Locus MCP server?

Yes. It is published by paywithlocus.com and served from api.paywithlocus.com, the vendor's own domain: https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/credits/mcp.

How do I sign in to Locus?

Add the server with a setup above. The first time your client connects it opens the sign-in page for paywithlocus.com; approve it and the tools load.

Is Locus down?

It answered our last check on 17 October 2026 in 772 ms. Over 10 checks since 4 September 2026 it answered 10.

How do I add Locus to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/credits/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does Locus 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.

Where this comes from

Publisher: com.paywithlocus. Endpoint host: api.paywithlocus.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:com.paywithlocus:mcp:locus. First indexed 1 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
