Use AskReformation in your AI assistant

AskReformation is also a free MCP connector. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants, and they can search these books, read them in order and check quotations before they quote.

Connector addresshttps://askreformation.com/mcp

Claude

Apps

For Claude on the web (claude.ai), in the Claude desktop app and in the Claude mobile apps.

Works on the Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans. The Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds it for the organization first, then each member connects to it.

Steps

On claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app, go to "Customize" › "Connectors".
Click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
Enter the name "AskReformation".
AskReformation
Paste the server URL and click "Continue".
https://askreformation.com/mcp
Review the settings Claude detects and click "Continue".
Under "Authentication", choose "No sign in", then click "Add".
In a chat, click "+" at the lower left, choose "Connectors" and turn on AskReformation.

Then try

Using AskReformation, verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Team and Enterprise: an Owner goes to "Organization settings" › "Connectors", clicks "Add", hovers over "Custom" and selects "Web", then enters the name and URL as above. Each member then finds AskReformation under "Customize" › "Connectors" and clicks "Connect".
Add it on the web or in the desktop app; the mobile apps can then use it. Anthropic's guide gives no steps for adding a connector from a phone.
To switch off single tools, use the "Search and tools" menu in a chat.

ChatGPT

Apps

For ChatGPT in a web browser at chatgpt.com.

Set it up in ChatGPT on the web. OpenAI lists custom MCP servers for Pro (read-only tools, which is all AskReformation has) and for Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces. In a Business workspace only admins and owners can add one; in Enterprise and Edu, admins can let chosen members add them.

Steps

Open the ChatGPT Plugins page in your web browser.
https://chatgpt.com/plugins
Click the "+" button, then "Add custom MCP server".
Enter the name "AskReformation" and, if you like, a short description.
AskReformation
Under "Connection", paste the server URL.
https://askreformation.com/mcp
For authentication, choose "No authentication".
Read the warning and click "I understand and want to continue".
Click "Create as a plugin", then review the tools ChatGPT found.
Install the plugin.
Start a new chat, type "@" and choose AskReformation, then ask your question.

Then try

Verify this quotation with AskReformation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

We couldn't confirm whether Plus, Go or Free plans can add custom MCP servers. If "Add custom MCP server" doesn't appear after you click "+", your plan or workspace doesn't offer it.
Workspace settings, including Lockdown, can block custom servers. If the option is missing at work or school, ask your workspace admin.
If AskReformation adds new tools later, open it on the Plugins page and select "Refresh", then start a new chat.

Claude Code

Command line

For Claude Code, Anthropic's coding assistant for the terminal and code editors.

Steps

In a terminal, run this command to add AskReformation for all your projects:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user askreformation https://askreformation.com/mcp
Start Claude Code and type /mcp to check that askreformation is connected.
/mcp

Command for the current project only

1claude mcp add --transport http askreformation https://askreformation.com/mcp

.mcp.json in a project (shared with everyone on it)

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "type": "http",5      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"6    }7  }8}

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Without "--scope user", the server is added for the current project only (the default "local" scope). "--scope project" saves it in the project's .mcp.json so everyone working on the project gets it.
You can also run claude mcp list in a terminal to see whether it's connected.
Claude Code asks you to approve servers from a project's .mcp.json before it uses them.
If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.

Try the prompt below in chat. Cursor asks before it uses a tool; approve it.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"5    }6  }7}

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.

VS Code

Code editors

For Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot chat.

Needs VS Code with its AI features (GitHub Copilot chat) turned on.

Install in VS Code

Steps

Click "Install in VS Code" on this page and confirm in VS Code. Or set it up by hand with the steps below.
In the Chat view, choose "Copilot" in the "Session Target" menu.
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Linux), run "Chat: Open Customizations" and select "MCP Servers".
Chat: Open Customizations
Select "Add Server" (+) in the "User" group.
Choose "HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events)" and paste the server URL.
https://askreformation.com/mcp
Enter askreformation as the server ID.
askreformation
Choose "Global", then "Copilot Global", so it works in every project.
Accept any trust prompt, then try the prompt below in chat. Approve the tool call when asked.

~/.copilot/mcp-config.json (Copilot Global)

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "type": "http",5      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"6    }7  }8}

.vscode/mcp.json (one project)

1{2  "servers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "type": "http",5      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"6    }7  }8}

Command line (macOS or Linux)

1code --add-mcp '{"name":"askreformation","type":"http","url":"https://askreformation.com/mcp"}'

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Running "MCP: Add Server" from the Command Palette starts the same guided setup.
The code --add-mcp command saves the server in your VS Code user profile. VS Code's guided setup marks that location and .vscode/mcp.json as deprecated, but both are still supported.
Using VS Code Insiders? Follow the steps by hand, or change "vscode:" to "vscode-insiders:" at the start of the install link.
If you use Copilot through work or school, your administrator's list of allowed MCP servers may block new ones.
If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.

Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)

Code editors

For Devin Desktop, the code editor formerly called Windsurf.

Steps

Open the "Customize" page from the Agents window and click "MCPs".
Under "Install MCPs for", choose "This computer" to see the servers on your computer.
Open your user config file, ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (on Windows, %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json). Create it if it doesn't exist.
Add the entry below and save the file.
Refresh the "This computer" list and check that askreformation is turned on.
Try the prompt below. The agent asks before it uses a tool; approve it.

~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp",5      "transport": "http"6    }7  }8}

Devin CLI (optional, adds the same entry)

1devin mcp add -s user askreformation https://askreformation.com/mcp

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, its agent is Devin Local, and its documentation has moved to docs.devin.ai.
If you use the Devin CLI command, keep "-s user". Without it, the server is saved for the current project only.
On Enterprise teams, admins can limit which MCP servers are allowed.
If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.

Gemini CLI / Antigravity CLI

Command line

For Google's Gemini CLI, and for Antigravity CLI, which replaced it for free and Google AI Pro or Ultra accounts.

Since June 18, 2026, free personal accounts and Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers use Antigravity CLI instead of Gemini CLI. Gemini CLI remains for Gemini Code Assist Standard or Enterprise, Code Assist for GitHub on Google Cloud, and legacy paid API or Vertex AI keys.

Steps

Gemini CLI: in a terminal, run this command to add AskReformation for all your projects:
gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user askreformation https://askreformation.com/mcp
Start Gemini CLI and type /mcp to check that askreformation is connected.
/mcp
Antigravity CLI: open ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json (create it if needed), add the Antigravity entry below and save the file.
Start Antigravity CLI with agy and type /mcp to check that askreformation is connected.
/mcp

Gemini CLI: ~/.gemini/settings.json

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "httpUrl": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"5    }6  }7}

Antigravity CLI: ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "serverUrl": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"5    }6  }7}

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Without "--scope user", gemini mcp add saves the server in the current project's .gemini/settings.json.
Antigravity CLI reads MCP servers from mcp_config.json, not from Gemini CLI's settings.json. Use serverUrl there (url also works); httpUrl isn't supported.
Antigravity (the editor) uses the same file: click "…" at the top of the agent panel, then "MCP Servers" › "Manage MCP Servers" › "View raw config".
Antigravity's MCP guide: https://antigravity.google/docs/mcp
If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.

Codex

Command line

For OpenAI Codex in the terminal, in the ChatGPT desktop app and in the Codex IDE extension.

Steps

In a terminal, run this command:
codex mcp add askreformation --url https://askreformation.com/mcp
Or, in the ChatGPT desktop app, open "Settings" › "MCP servers" › "Add server". Name it askreformation, choose "Streamable HTTP", paste the URL, save, then select "Restart".
https://askreformation.com/mcp
Or, in the Codex IDE extension, open the gear menu › "MCP servers" › "Add server", enter the same details, save, then select "Restart extension".
https://askreformation.com/mcp
Check that it's connected: run codex mcp list, or type /mcp in Codex.
codex mcp list

~/.codex/config.toml

1[mcp_servers.askreformation]2url = "https://askreformation.com/mcp"

Then try

Use the askreformation MCP server to verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

The Codex CLI, the IDE extension and Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app share ~/.codex/config.toml, so adding it once is enough.
Codex became part of the ChatGPT desktop app on July 9, 2026. These steps connect Codex; for ordinary ChatGPT chats, follow the ChatGPT instructions.
To add it to one project only, put the entry in .codex/config.toml inside that project. Codex reads that file only in projects you trust.
If config.toml already has other settings, add these lines at the end. Don't replace the file.

Other MCP apps

Anything else

For any other app or tool that can connect to a remote MCP server.

Steps

Open your app's MCP, connector or tools settings and add a remote (URL) server.
Paste the server URL.
https://askreformation.com/mcp
If asked for a transport, choose "Streamable HTTP" (some apps just say "HTTP").
Choose no authentication. AskReformation needs no sign-in or API key.
If your app is set up with a JSON file, add one of the entries below.
If your app can only start local (stdio) servers, use the mcp-remote bridge below. It needs Node.js.

Typical JSON config

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"5    }6  }7}

JSON config for apps that need a type

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "type": "http",5      "url": "https://askreformation.com/mcp"6    }7  }8}

Bridge for apps that only run local servers (mcp-remote)

1{2  "mcpServers": {3    "askreformation": {4      "command": "npx",5      "args": [6        "mcp-remote",7        "https://askreformation.com/mcp"8      ]9    }10  }11}

Bridge as a single command

1npx mcp-remote https://askreformation.com/mcp

Then try

Using AskReformation, verify this quotation and cite the page: 'be killing sin or it will be killing you'.

Notes

Apps name the URL field differently (url, serverUrl or httpUrl). Use the one your app's documentation gives for a Streamable HTTP server.
mcp-remote runs on your computer with Node.js and passes requests on to AskReformation. Its authors call it a temporary bridge: once your app supports remote servers, connect directly instead.
If the file already lists other servers, add only the askreformation entry inside the existing block. Don't replace the whole file.
