GPT Researcher MCP

Use GPT Researcher’s MCP retriever support to research with saved Memex sources alongside web search.

Set up credentials

In Memex, open Settings.
Go to MCP server.
Click Generate Key if you do not already have an API key.
Copy your Full Connection URL.
Make sure your GPT Researcher environment has the LLM and search provider keys it needs, such as OPENAI_API_KEY and TAVILY_API_KEY.

Add Memex as an MCP source

In your GPT Researcher app or script, enable the MCP retriever with your preferred web retriever:

import os

os.environ["RETRIEVER"] = "tavily,mcp"

Add Memex to mcp_configs with the full connection URL from Memex settings:

from gpt_researcher import GPTResearcher

researcher = GPTResearcher(
    query="What have I saved about MCP setup patterns?",
    mcp_configs=[
        {
            "name": "memex",
            "connection_url": "https://memex.garden/api/mcp?userId=YOUR_USER_ID&apiKey=YOUR_MEMEX_API_KEY",
        }
    ],
)

context = await researcher.conduct_research()
report = await researcher.write_report()

Run the research task from your GPT Researcher runtime.

Use Memex in research

Ask GPT Researcher to include your saved Memex library when it gathers context. Example:

Research current MCP onboarding patterns using my saved Memex sources and recent web results.
