How to Set Up and Use Graphlit MCP
The Graphlit MCP Server connects AI assistants to the Graphlit knowledge management platform, enabling ingestion of content from 20+ sources — including Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Notion, Jira, Discord, web pages, and podcast feeds — and then retrieval of relevant content via semantic search and RAG. Once content is ingested into a Graphlit project, the MCP server lets you query, summarize, and reason over that unified knowledge base directly in your AI conversations.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18.x or higher
- A Graphlit Platform account with an active project (sign up at app.graphlit.io)
- Graphlit API credentials: Organization ID, Environment ID, and JWT Secret from the platform's API settings
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code
- Optional: API tokens for data sources you want to ingest (Slack bot token, GitHub PAT, Notion API key, etc.)
Create a Graphlit account and project
Sign up at app.graphlit.io and create a new project. Navigate to API Settings to retrieve your Organization ID, Environment ID, and JWT Secret.
Note your three required credentials
You need exactly three values from the Graphlit dashboard: GRAPHLIT_ORGANIZATION_ID, GRAPHLIT_ENVIRONMENT_ID, and GRAPHLIT_JWT_SECRET. These authenticate all MCP tool calls.
Optionally gather connector credentials
If you want to ingest from specific sources, gather the relevant tokens now. For example, a Slack bot token for Slack ingestion, a GitHub personal access token for repository content, or a Notion API key.
# Example connector tokens (set only what you need)
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-..."
export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="ghp_..."
export NOTION_API_KEY="secret_..."
export LINEAR_API_KEY="lin_api_..."Add the Graphlit MCP server to your client configuration
Add the graphlit-mcp-server entry to your claude_desktop_config.json with all required environment variables.
Restart your MCP client and ingest content
Restart Claude Desktop. Then use the MCP tools to ingest your first content — for example, ask Claude to crawl a web page or ingest a Slack channel into your Graphlit project.
Query your knowledge base
After ingestion, use the retrieval tools to search and reason over your content. Ask questions that span multiple ingested sources.

Sample prompts for ingesting content and querying your Graphlit knowledge base.
- "Crawl https://docs.example.com and ingest all pages into my Graphlit project"
- "Ingest the last 30 days of messages from the #engineering Slack channel"
- "Search my Graphlit knowledge base for discussions about the API rate limiting issue"
- "Summarize the key decisions made in my ingested meeting transcripts this week"
- "Query my Graphlit project for all content related to the authentication redesign"
- "Ingest my Gmail inbox for emails from the last week and find action items"Troubleshooting Graphlit MCP
Authentication error: invalid JWT or organization not found
Double-check all three required credentials from the Graphlit dashboard: GRAPHLIT_ORGANIZATION_ID, GRAPHLIT_ENVIRONMENT_ID, and GRAPHLIT_JWT_SECRET. These are distinct values — do not swap the environment ID and organization ID.
Connector ingestion fails for Slack or GitHub
Verify the connector-specific token is correctly set (e.g. SLACK_BOT_TOKEN must start with xoxb-). For Slack, ensure the bot is installed in your workspace and has permission to read the target channels. For GitHub, confirm the PAT has repo read scope.
npx fails on Windows with a path or execution error
On Windows, prefix the command with the full cmd.exe path: set command to 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe' and args to ['/c', 'npx', '-y', 'graphlit-mcp-server']. This is a known Windows npx execution issue.
