The AI SDK Assistant MCP server is compatible with Claude (web, mobile, desktop, and CLI), and ChatGPT (web). These platforms use what are colloquially termed “connectors” to access MCP servers directly from the existing UI.
You’ll need the official MCP server URL to use AI SDK Assistant with your LLM provider. Since the tool is still in Private Beta, please do not share this URL with others.

​
Requirements

  • Claude Pro, Max, or Enterprise account (starting at $20/month)
  • MCP Server URL: https://sdk-rag-agent-production.up.railway.app/mcp

​
Configuration Steps

  1. Add the Connector
    • Go to Settings → Connectors
    • Click Add custom connector
    • Name it (e.g. AI SDK Assistant)
    • Paste the MCP Server URL into the “Remote MCP server URL” field
    • Click Add
    • Refresh if needed — you should now see your new connector
  2. Configure Tools The AI SDK Assistant enables Claude to access SDK information through “Tools.” These are specialized search methods and filters that influence what type of content is retrieved when you ask a question. There are currently 14 tools supported for Claude; you can view more details about each tool in the Tools page.
    Claude will automatically determine the best tool to answer the query, though you can always specify a tool if you already know what type of content you are looking for.
    To configure AI SDK Assistant’s tools:
    • Navigate to Settings → Connectors
    • Next to the AI SDK Assistant connector, click the Configure button
    • You’ll now be able to see all available tools AI SDK Assistant offers
    By default, all tools will be enabled.
    Disable the search and fetch tools before prompting with AI SDK Assistant. These tools are intended for use only with ChatGPT.
  3. Set Tool Permissions The default tool permission setting is always ask for permission. In this configuration, Claude will ask for permission every time it wants to use a tool. To allow automatic tool usage, set the permission to allow unsupervised.
    When using AI SDK Assistant for the first time, we recommend you set all tool permissions to allow unsupervised. Based on your observations, you can disable tools and change permissions to help Claude’s searches align better with your preferences.
  4. Configure System Prompt (Optional but Recommended) A system prompt significantly improves Claude’s SDK Assistant performance. See the System Prompt Configuration section below for setup instructions.
    For the best experience with AI SDK Assistant, add the system prompt after initial testing. It ensures Claude uses MCP tools correctly and generates production-ready code.

​
Using the AI SDK Assistant

To start using the AI SDK Assistant’s tools:
  1. Open a new chat window
  2. Click the search and tools icon button in the chat box
  3. You should see the AI SDK Assistant connector at the top of the list
  4. Toggle the connector on to enable it
  5. You can also toggle individual tools directly in the chat window

​
Removing the AI SDK Assistant

If you decide you no longer want to keep AI SDK Assistant as a connector:
  • Go to Settings → Connectors
  • Click the More icon button next to the AI SDK Assistant connector
  • Click Remove to permanently remove the connector (you’ll need to repeat the setup process to add AI SDK Assistant again)
  • Click Disconnect to temporarily disable the connector

​
System Prompt Configuration

Adding a system prompt to your AI assistant significantly improves response quality when working with the Camera Remote SDK. The system prompt is a comprehensive set of instructions (~450 lines) that teaches the LLM how to effectively use AI SDK Assistant tools and generate accurate, production-ready code.
