MCP server
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client to Orbit's hosted MCP server — OAuth, no key to paste.
Orbit runs a hosted MCP server. Point any MCP client that supports remote servers at it and your agent gets tools to search Orbit, check a search, and read its results. You sign in with your Orbit account the first time — there is no API key to manage and nothing to install.

Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http orbit https://api.orbitpeople.ai/mcpThen run /mcp, select orbit and Authenticate — a browser window asks you to approve access to your workspace.
Any other MCP client — add a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with the URL above. The client discovers Orbit's OAuth 2.1 endpoints on its own and opens the consent screen.
ChatGPT — see ChatGPT app.
Tools
orbit_search
Submit a brief. Waits briefly and returns the people found; if the search is still running when the wait is up, it returns a projectId to follow up with the other two tools.
| Argument | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
brief | string | Who to find, in plain language. Include a count: "find 30 …" |
waitMs | number? | How long to wait inline, in ms. Default 25 000, max 55 000 |
orbit_status
orbit_status({ projectId })How many people have been found and verified, whether the search is still running, and any clarification it needs.
orbit_results
orbit_results({ projectId, limit?, offset? })A page of the people found, with their contact details and a yes/no per criterion from your brief.
orbit_feedback
Lets the agent send Orbit a bug report, a feature request, or a request for a new integration on your behalf.
Limits and billing
Searches started through MCP bill your workspace exactly like searches started from Slack or the REST API, and share the same limit of 20 new searches an hour per workspace. Each connected client can make up to 120 requests a minute.
