Step 2: Add to Your MCP Client

Once you have your bearer token, add Pulsar to your MCP configuration:

For Claude Desktop / Windsurf

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulsar": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.askpulsar.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-token-here"
      },
      "description": "Crypto community intelligence"
    }
  }
}

For ElizaOS / SSE-Based Frameworks

{
  type: 'sse',
  url: 'https://mcp.askpulsar.com/mcp/sse',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token-here'
  },
  description: 'Crypto community intelligence across 25+ channels'
}

Transport Differences:

• HTTP (/mcp) - Stateless request/response, works with most MCP clients

• SSE (/mcp/sse) - Long-lived connection with event streaming, required for ElizaOS

⚠️ Replace your-token-here with your actual bearer token.

Step 3: Start Using Tools

Once configured, your MCP client will automatically discover all 7 Pulsar tools.

Just ask your agent:

• "List all channels Pulsar monitors"

• "Summarize Virtuals Protocol"

• "What's happening in Fetch.ai?"

• "Search for AI agent discussions"

The MCP client handles all the protocol communication automatically.
