Get started with MCP

This guide walks you through connecting an MCP-compatible AI application or platform to the Loomi Connect MCP servers. Once connected, your AI application can read live data from your Bloomreach workspace through more than 140 tools, including write tools that create, update, and delete configuration.

📘
Note
Loomi Connect is currently in Beta. Contact [email protected] to get access to the Beta MCP service.
Please join the Loomi Connect Slack channel — it's the main place for updates, support, and the occasional reminder that the platform changed again in the last 48 hours.

Prerequisites

A Bloomreach account with access to the workspace you want to query. The MCP server respects your existing Bloomreach IAM permissions, including PII masking.
One of the following AI applications, or another platform that supports MCP connections:
Contact [email protected] to enable access to the Loomi Connect MCP server for your accounts or projects.

Setup overview

Loomi Connect runs remote MCP servers, so there's nothing to install locally. Connect to an AI application in three steps:

Add a Loomi Connect server URL to your AI application's MCP configuration.
Restart or reload the AI application so it picks up the new server.
Trigger a tool call to start the browser-based authentication flow.
Test MCP capabilities in your AI application.

Connect the MCP server

⚠️
Important
Replace the default URL (https://us.connect.loomi.ai/mcp) in every example with the region-specific server URL that matches your project or account configuration:

https://eu.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

https://uk.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

https://us.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

https://ca.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

https://ap.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

To confirm the MCP server is enabled for your project, contact [email protected].

Follow the steps for your preferred environment to connect the MCP server:

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add loomi-mcp --transport http https://us.connect.loomi.ai/mcp

To verify the server was added, run:

claude mcp list

Refer to the Claude Code documentation for more details on MCP configuration.

Verify the connection

After restarting your AI application, confirm that Loomi Connect is registered and available in the project:

In Claude Code, type /mcp in a new session.
In Cursor, open the MCP settings panel (File > Preferences > Cursor Settings > MCP).
In VS Code, open the Extensions tab to see installed MCP servers. You can also type @mcp in the command palette.

The first time your AI application calls a Loomi Connect tool, a browser window opens to the Bloomreach login page so you can authenticate. Sessions persist for up to 30 days.

Next steps

Authenticate MCP connection: sign in with your Bloomreach account and confirm your AI application can read live workspace data.
