lens — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Creates a hosted public page that answers user questions solely using your uploaded notes and links with citations. Useful when generic chatbots fabricate facts.
claude mcp add --transport http lens https://app.mindola.ai/mcp/lensWhat lens does
The server is entirely remote and requires no local scripts. Adding the HTTP endpoint gives your assistant access to create_digital_twin_lens. The agent drafts a biography and boundary rules, waits for your explicit approval, and generates an accessible public URL.
Knowledge feeds into the assistant via add_lens_knowledge using URLs or raw text. Whenever a visitor asks something outside your notes, the assistant admits the topic is missing and routes the inquiry to an owner inbox. Live voice calls allow real-time interruptions, and owners can optionally accept payments via Stripe Connect.
Unclaimed pages stay active for 30 days before expiring unless tied to an account via claimUrl. Once claimed, updates move to the web interface or the authenticated developer API.
What it helps with
- Publish an interactive knowledge page based on your own articles
- Prevent hallucinations by citing source material directly
- Collect visitor leads from questions outside the knowledge base
- Provide voice interactions with mid-sentence interruptions
Example prompts for the agent
- Draft a lens profile for my endurance coaching notes, and wait for my review before publishing.
- Add https://example.com/docs to my lens knowledge base and check ingestion status.
