Security scores are indicators to help you make informed decisions, not guarantees. Always review permissions before connecting any MCP server.

Permissions Found in Source Code

Found by scanning the linked source code. This listing connects to a hosted endpoint, so none of this runs on your machine: it describes what the server software does where it is hosted.

HTTP Network Access

Connects to external APIs or services over the internet.

How to Connect

Remote Plugin

No local installation needed. Your AI client connects to the remote endpoint directly.

Add this to your MCP configuration to connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-heycactus-cactus": {
      "url": "https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp"
    }

Cactus MCP server

Cactus (heycactus.ai) learns a product from its codebase, answers its customers live, and keeps its help site and changelog current with every release. Its MCP server lets your team reach that knowledge from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client.

This repository holds no server code. It lists Cactus's hosted MCP server: how to connect, the tools it offers, and the manifests MCP directories read.

Connect

  • Server: https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Sign-in: OAuth 2.0 with your Cactus account (Google or GitHub). Dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents are supported, with PKCE (S256).

Step-by-step setup for each AI client: https://heycactus.ai/docs/connect-an-ai-client

In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http cactus https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp

In Cursor, add this to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cactus": {
      "url": "https://mcp.heycactus.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

You need a Cactus team with a product built from a GitHub repository. Cactus is in open beta: anyone can start at https://app.heycactus.ai, with 14 days of Pro free and no card.

askAsk Cactus a question. It answers from the published pages, the product map, the product knowledge and past conversations, and cites its sources
start_investigation, get_investigationInvestigate a question in the product's code and knowledge, and read the finding

Every tool carries MCP annotations. No tool edits or deletes anything. Only ask and start_investigation aren't read-only, because each runs a new answer or investigation.

Public help-center servers

Every product's public help center has its own server, with no sign-in: https://mcp.heycactus.ai/p/<name>/mcp. Cactus's own help center is https://mcp.heycactus.ai/p/cactus/mcp. It offers search_help, read_page, list_topics, read_timeline, ask_help, contact_team, search and fetch.

ask_help answers the way the help center answers a visitor. It starts from the published help pages and reads the product map, the code index and the code when those fall short. contact_team sends the team a message they can reply to.
