Connect Contextick to Replit
Replit takes the fewest steps of the coding tools: you paste one URL into a settings pane and Replit handles the sign-in for you. No config file, and no API key to copy. It does need a paid Replit plan, though — MCP is part of Replit Agent.
What you'll need
- A Replit plan with Agent. MCP servers are a Replit Agent feature, so the free Starter plan can't connect one — you'll need a paid Replit plan.
- A Contextick account. Replit registers itself with Contextick automatically and walks you through Google sign-in, so no API key is needed.
- The Contextick MCP endpoint:
https://contextick.ai/mcp
Steps
- Open Replit's Integrations settings (replit.com/integrations) and find MCP Servers for Replit Agent.
- Click Add MCP server.
- Enter Contextick as the display name and paste
https://contextick.ai/mcpas the server URL. You can leave Advanced settings alone — that's for servers that need a custom header, and Contextick doesn't here. - Click Test & save. Replit connects, registers itself with Contextick, and sends you through Google sign-in to approve access.
- Contextick's tools are now available to Replit's AI. Replit scans the tools for safety and may ask you to approve a tool before it runs.
Check it worked
Test it in two parts, and make the second part a new conversation. If you ask in the same one, the AI can answer from what you just said without ever calling Contextick — so a broken connection would still look like it worked.
- Save something you'd actually want back. At the end of a session where you worked something out, say: "Save the API error format we just settled on to Contextick."
- Start a new conversation and ask: "What's our API error format?"
If it comes back in the new conversation, you're connected — and you've just seen the point of it: you didn't have to explain it again. That note is also available in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other AI you connect.
If it doesn't show up
- "Test & save" fails. Check the URL for a typo or a trailing slash — it should
be exactly
https://contextick.ai/mcp. - The sign-in window never appeared. Allow pop-ups for replit.com and click Test & save again.
- The AI doesn't offer to use Contextick. Ask it directly — "save this to Contextick" — rather than hoping it reaches for the tool on its own.
