Connect your AI to Thingy

Jamie Thingelstad’s archive — The Weekly Thing, the blog, and Another Thing — is available to Claude, Codex, and any MCP client. Weekly Thing subscribers sign in with their email, no passwords.

Claude (claude.ai or the apps)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste:

https://librarian.thingelstad.com/mcp

Claude walks you through sign-in: enter your Weekly Thing email, type the six-digit code from the email (your Mac or iPhone will offer it automatically), and approve access.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http librarian https://librarian.thingelstad.com/mcp

Then /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate.

Any other MCP client

The endpoint speaks MCP streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 discovery — point your client at the URL above and it finds the sign-in flow on its own.

What your AI can do

Search the whole archive semantically and by exact phrase, and pull full sources.
Trace how a topic evolved across years with the archive lens, or follow a named person, product, or idea.
Explore link neighborhoods, surface forgotten gems, check freshness, and verify claims against the archive.

Fair use

Every reader gets a daily pool of tool calls (double for Supporting Members), separate from the Thingy chat budget. The archive is Jamie’s public writing; personal data stays out by construction.
