Ask Archie. Get answers drawn from real architects' work, with credit where it's due.

ArchieSi searches licensed collections from architecture firms and answers with cited drawings, so every use is logged and every firm gets paid.

How it works

  1. Firms add their drawings and details to the catalog.
  2. You ask in plain words, like "Doric column proportions."
  3. Archie answers with the exact drawings it used, each one cited and logged.

For firms

Your work stays yours. You see per-firm usage and royalties on a dashboard, and you can take any item down instantly.

Works where you work

Connect Archie to your AI assistant, then just ask "Hey Archie, find me Palladian windows."

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any assistant that supports MCP.

ArchieSi

ArchieSi searches licensed collections from architecture firms and answers with the drawings it used. Every answer cites the source asset and the firm, and every call is written to that firm's usage log.

The MCP endpoint is live at https://archiesi.com/mcp. Sign in with OAuth. Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients discover sign-in from https://archiesi.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.

Tools

request_license writes a mock license (demo checkout, no payment taken) and get_delivery_link returns a 15-minute download link for that caller's license. Taken-down items cannot be licensed or downloaded.

Claude

Add a custom connector whose URL is https://archiesi.com/mcp. Claude returns to https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback.

Claude Code has to use loopback port 8080. Cognito matches the port, and that port is the one registered for this client:


claude mcp add --transport http archie https://archiesi.com/mcp --callback-port 8080

Cursor


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archie": {
      "url": "https://archiesi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor's redirect is https://www.cursor.com/agents/mcp/oauth/callback. The local callback is http://localhost:8787/callback. Cognito does not accept the cursor:// scheme, so that older desktop fallback is not registered.

Generic MCP client


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archie": {
      "url": "https://archiesi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If the client does not register itself, use the public client id from the McpClientId stack output.

Agent instructions

Always show citations. Never strip or alter firm credit or attribution. Every drawing in an answer names the firm it came from.
