Installation

TypingMind
{
  "mcpServers": {

Use TextArtTools MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once TextArtTools is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP connects through a hosted MCP server URL in TypingMind.

Add an MCP server URL

Use this when TextArtTools is already hosted remotely or your team wants one shared connector that multiple users can access.

1

Open MCP connectors

In TypingMind, go to Plugins, open MCP connectors, then choose Add URL.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Go to Plugins.
  3. Open MCP connectors.
  4. Click Add URL.
TypingMind Add Custom MCP Server URL form
2

Paste the server URL

Enter https://mcp.textarttools.com/sse in the Server URL field. Add a connection name, description, icon, custom HTTP headers, or OAuth client settings if the server requires them.

  1. Paste https://mcp.textarttools.com/sse into the Server URL field.
  2. Enter a connection name for TextArtTools.
  3. Add a description and icon if you want it to be easier to identify.
  4. Add custom HTTP headers or OAuth client details if the server requires authentication.
3

Create the connection

Click Create connection, then return to the Plugins list and confirm the new MCP connection is active.

  1. Click Create connection.
  2. Return to the MCP connectors list.
  3. Confirm the TextArtTools connection appears as active.
  4. Refresh the plugin list if the connection does not appear immediately.
4

Switch models without reconnecting

Start a chat with your preferred model, enable the TextArtTools tools from Plugins, and switch to another model whenever needed. The MCP connection stays available to the TypingMind workspace.

  1. Start a new chat in TypingMind.
  2. Select the AI model you want to use.
  3. Enable the TextArtTools tools from Plugins.
  4. Ask the model to use the tool when needed.
  5. Switch to another AI model and reuse the same MCP connection.
