Ergora Specialists

Ergora Specialists MCP

17 business-vertical knowledge specialists (Sales, Marketing, Paid Ads, Content, Ecommerce, Entrepreneurship, Business Strategy, Community, Creator, Design & UX, Developer, Finance, HR, Leadership, Legal, Local Marketing, PR) as tools for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client.

Each tool returns summarised, cited insights from a curated knowledge base of leading practitioners, best-selling books and academic/regulatory sources. Free tier: 5 queries/day anonymous, 30/day with an email.

Ergora runs all 17 of these as full AI specialist agents with unlimited use: https://ergora.app

Install: remote server (nothing to download)

Server URL: https://ergora-specialists-gateway.contact-c9e.workers.dev/mcp (MCP Streamable HTTP, no auth)

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ergora-specialists https://ergora-specialists-gateway.contact-c9e.workers.dev/mcp --header "X-Ergora-Email: [email protected]"

Claude Desktop / claude.ai: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste the server URL. There is no login step; when Claude asks, give it your email to unlock 30 queries/day (it passes it in the tool's email argument).

Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "ergora-specialists": {      "url": "https://ergora-specialists-gateway.contact-c9e.workers.dev/mcp",      "headers": { "X-Ergora-Email": "[email protected]" }    }  }}

Any other MCP client: point it at the URL with the Streamable HTTP transport. The server is stateless (POST-only, JSON responses). The optional X-Ergora-Email header identifies you for the 30/day free tier.

Install: local stdio server (npm)

Package: ergora-specialists-mcp (Node 18+).

Claude Code

claude mcp add ergora-specialists -e [email protected] -- npx -y ergora-specialists-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor: claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "ergora-specialists": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "ergora-specialists-mcp"],      "env": { "ERGORA_EMAIL": "[email protected]" }    }  }}

From source instead: git clone https://github.com/ergoracloud/ergora-specialists && cd ergora-specialists/mcp && npm install, then point command at node /absolute/path/to/mcp/index.js.

Free tier

Your email is the access key: 30 queries/day. Supply it as the X-Ergora-Email header (remote), ERGORA_EMAIL (local), or the email tool argument. Without one, requests are limited to 5/day per IP. Fair use: about 30 requests per minute per network; bursts beyond that get a 429. MCP batches are limited to 5 messages.

To keep the free tier fair, one mailbox counts once (letter case, +tags and Gmail dots are ignored), a network can use up to 3 different unconfirmed emails a day, and unconfirmed traffic from one network has a shared daily ceiling. Confirmed emails are not affected by those network ceilings. Inside hosted clients that share egress addresses (for example Claude), anonymous use is small and unconfirmed emails get 10 queries a day.

The whole service also has a shared daily limit (2,500 queries a day), part of which is kept for confirmed emails and hosted clients. When it is reached every caller gets a clear "try again tomorrow (00:00 UTC) or use Ergora" message until the next UTC day.

Confirming an email is optional. After you have used an email on a few queries over more than one day (or straight away if you pass subscribe: true), we may send one message asking you to confirm it. Only confirmed addresses are added to Ergora's mailing list (for an occasional update, unsubscribe any time). Unconfirmed emails are used for your quota only and are deleted after 60 days. No third-party sharing.

The gateway sends no CORS headers: call it from a server, an MCP client or the stdio package, not from browser JavaScript.

How it works

Queries go to a Cloudflare Worker gateway which embeds the question with Workers AI (bge-small-en-v1.5) and searches an isolated vector store of the Ergora knowledge base (never Ergora's production customer database). Only approved entries whose source is on a reviewed allowlist are returned. Results are summaries with links to the original sources, with no verbatim reproduction. If vector search is unavailable or over budget the gateway answers from a keyword index of the same entries and says so.

Architecture (this repo)

• worker/: Cloudflare Worker (TypeScript), built to run on the Workers Free plan.
  • /mcp remote MCP endpoint, POST /query JSON API, /health and /health/deep, /confirm email confirmation.
  • Vectorize ergora-kb-v2 (384d) for semantic search, D1 ergora-kb-fts (FTS5) for the keyword fallback, Workers AI for query embeddings.
  • A SQLite Durable Object (Gate) holds the quotas, the 24 h response cache, alert flags and pending email confirmations.
  • PUBLIC_BASE_URL sets the public origin used in confirmation links (empty means the request origin), so a custom domain needs only a var change.
  • npm run check runs typecheck, lint, tests and a dry-run bundle. Deploy with npm run deploy (preflight first), following docs/RUNBOOK_v2.md.
• sync/: weekly KB sync (kb_v2_sync.py, runs on Ergora's background server): reads approved rows, applies the shared source policy, embeds with the same model as the Worker and removes entries that are no longer eligible. eval_models.py compares embedding models on the real KB.
• shared/source_policy.json: the source allowlist used by both the Worker and the sync.
• mcp/: the local stdio MCP server (thin client of /query). node e2e-test.mjs (stdio) and node e2e-remote-test.mjs (remote) are end-to-end checks against the live gateway.
• docs/COSTS.md: free-plan limit math and the Free vs Paid comparison.
