Documentation

Setu is a hosted MCP server. There is nothing to install and no config file to edit — you add one URL to your assistant and sign in with Google.

Install

Everything starts from one URL. The /mcp on the end matters — without it the client won't find the server.

Connector URL

https://api.mimanasa.online/mcp

ChatGPT

Custom connectors require Developer mode and a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise). They aren't available on the free tier.

1Settings → Connectors → Advanced → enable Developer mode
2Settings → Connectors → Create
3Name it Setu, paste the URL, set auth to OAuth
4Click Create → sign in with Google

Claude Code

bash

claude mcp add --transport http setu https://api.mimanasa.online/mcp

VS Code

VS Code (Copilot agent mode) supports remote MCP servers with OAuth natively. Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project, or to your user-level mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "setu": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.mimanasa.online/mcp" }
  }
}

On first use, a browser opens for Google sign-in — the same flow as Claude.

Windsurf

Windsurf supports remote MCP servers with OAuth. Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setu": { "serverUrl": "https://api.mimanasa.online/mcp" }
  }
}

Antigravity

Antigravity's native OAuth for remote MCP servers is currently broken (it sends the initialize request without the bearer token). Until that's fixed, connect through the mcp-remote bridge, which handles the Google sign-in locally. Settings → Customizations → Open MCP Config:

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "setu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.mimanasa.online/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The mcp-remote bridge works in any MCP client whose built-in OAuth misbehaves — Cursor and Cline included. Requires Node.js installed.

Google will call this app unverified

You'll see “Google hasn't verified this app”. Click Advanced → Go to Setu (unsafe).

“Unsafe” is Google's wording for “hasn't finished our review”, not a finding about Setu. The screen after it is the one that actually matters — it lists exactly one permission: Send email on your behalf. That is the whole of what Setu can do to your account.

Save your resume

Setu appends your resume link to every application, so save it once before sending. Ask your assistant:

prompt

Save my resume link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/…/view

Share the file as “Anyone with the link” first. Setu fetches the URL to check, and rejects a private link — otherwise HR clicks it, sees “Request access”, and you never learn the application went nowhere.

Using it

Setu doesn't write anything — your assistant does. Give it the context a good application needs and it will do the research itself.

prompt

Find fintech startups in Bangalore hiring backend engineers.
For each one, find their careers email and draft an
application using my resume. Show me the list and one full
draft before you send anything.

Asking to see a draft first is worth the extra turn. The assistant is writing as you, to someone who may decide whether to interview you.

Limits

These are enforced by the server, not suggested to the model.

Limit	Value	Why
Per day	80	Gmail's ceiling is higher, but staying under it protects your sending reputation
Per batch	25	Small enough that you review as you go
Delay	5s	A burst is a pattern Gmail reads as automation
Resume	required	An application with no resume wastes the contact
Duplicates	blocked	Every send is recorded, across sessions

Troubleshooting

The client can't connect: Check the URL ends in /mcp. That's the usual one.
“Google hasn't verified this app”: Expected. Advanced → Go to Setu. See the note above.
My resume link was rejected: It isn't public. Drive → Share → “Anyone with the link” → Viewer.
It refuses to send: Either no resume link is saved, or today's 80 are spent. Ask your assistant to check your profile.
I want to revoke access: myaccount.google.com/permissions → find Setu → remove. Immediate, and you don't need to ask us.
