Obra MCP server

Obra is the official remote MCP server from tryobra.com. It answers at https://tryobra.com/mcp over streamable HTTP and asks you to sign in with your tryobra.com account before it lists its tools, so your client opens a login the first time it connects. Our probes reached it 4 of 4 times since 23 September 2026; the last check, on 6 November 2026, got the sign-in challenge, so it is up.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

What Obra 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 tryobra.com account, and the tools appear once you have approved it.

Questions about Obra

Is there an official Obra MCP server?

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

How do I sign in to Obra?

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

Is Obra down?

It answered our last check on 6 November 2026 in 220 ms. Over 4 checks since 23 September 2026 it answered 4.

How do I add Obra to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://tryobra.com/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 Obra 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.tryobra. Endpoint host: tryobra.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:com.tryobra:mcp:obra. First indexed 19 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.
