# Opedd — Licensed Content for AI This MCP server helps AI agents find licensable material, retrieve rights-cleared passages, and verify licenses. It fits RAG and grounded search workflows. - MCP server · `type=mcp` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI · ★ 1 - Author: Opedd - License: MIT · policy=link-only · description only; the file stays with the author - Source: https://github.com/Opedd/opedd-mcp - Updated: 2026-10-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/opedd-licensed-content-for-ai ## What it does Opedd connects Claude Code to a catalog of content available for licensing. Its tools can search publications, inspect publisher details, retrieve answer-focused passages with citations, buy a licence, and validate a licence key. The server also exposes a publisher directory, a public licence registry, and platform detection for publication URLs. You can use the hosted MCP endpoint at `https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp` or run the package locally with `npx -y opedd-mcp`. Discovery tools work without authentication. Passage search needs a buyer key with the `search` scope, while purchasing and content retrieval use Opedd credentials. Paid actions can require environment variables such as `OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN` and `OPEDD_BUYER_JWT`, depending on the tool. Without a buyer key, you can discover licensable material, but paid passage retrieval will not run. ## Requirements - Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx) - Remote server: `https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp` - Environment variables: `OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL`, `OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID`, `OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN`, `OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY`, `OPEDD_BUYER_JWT`, `OPEDD_PUB_BEARER` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash claude mcp add --transport http opedd-mcp https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash claude mcp add --env OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL= --env OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID= --env OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN= --env OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY= --env OPEDD_BUYER_JWT= --transport stdio opedd-licensed-content-for-ai -- npx -y opedd-mcp ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 1 more environment variable is in the server README ### Codex 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash codex mcp add opedd-licensed-content-for-ai --url https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash codex mcp add opedd-licensed-content-for-ai --env OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL= --env OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID= --env OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN= --env OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY= --env OPEDD_BUYER_JWT= -- npx -y opedd-mcp ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 1 more environment variable is in the server README ### Cursor **Config file** File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "opedd-licensed-content-for-ai": { "url": "https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp" } } } ``` File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "opedd-licensed-content-for-ai": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "opedd-mcp" ], "env": { "OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL": "", "OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID": "", "OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN": "", "OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY": "", "OPEDD_BUYER_JWT": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 1 more environment variable is in the server README ### GitHub Copilot **Config file** File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "opedd-licensed-content-for-ai": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp" } } } ``` File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "opedd-licensed-content-for-ai": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "opedd-mcp" ], "env": { "OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL": "", "OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID": "", "OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN": "", "OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY": "", "OPEDD_BUYER_JWT": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 1 more environment variable is in the server README ### Gemini CLI 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash gemini mcp add -t http opedd-licensed-content-for-ai https://mcp.opedd.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini mcp add -e OPEDD_BUYER_EMAIL= -e OPEDD_PAYMENT_METHOD_ID= -e OPEDD_BUYER_TOKEN= -e OPEDD_ACCESS_KEY= -e OPEDD_BUYER_JWT= opedd-licensed-content-for-ai npx -y opedd-mcp ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 1 more environment variable is in the server README ## When to use it - find publications available for licensing - retrieve cited passages for an answer - buy a licence for an article - validate an issued licence key - browse publishers, prices, and sample content ## Example prompts - Search for licensable material related to this task and show the available publisher prices. - Retrieve licensed passages that answer this question, with citations for each passage. - Check the licence key `OP-XXXX-XXXX` and tell me which article it covers. ## Similar - [REA](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/rea.md) — MCP server · ★ 392262 - [GitHub](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/github.md) — MCP server · ★ 33989 - [World Monitor](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/world-monitor.md) — MCP server · ★ 89609 - [Netdata](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/netdata.md) — MCP server · ★ 81163 - [Front-End Checklist](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/front-end-checklist.md) — MCP server · ★ 74569 - [Scrapling MCP Server](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/scrapling-mcp-server.md) — MCP server · ★ 89899 --- NeVibeCode on affpapa.org.
