Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes. It discovers them automatically.

How to install Moderation API in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moderation-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.moderationapi.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install Moderation API in CursorAI-first code editor

Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "moderation-api": {
      "url": "https://mcp.moderationapi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Enable it
Cursor Settings → MCP → toggle the server on. Tools become available to the Composer/Agent.

How to install Moderation API in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.moderation-api]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.moderationapi.com/mcp"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What tools does Moderation API expose?

This server requires credentials before it will list its tools, so we cannot enumerate them here. Connect it in your client to see what it offers.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Before you install

Signals gathered from the source repo and package registry — not a safety verdict.

What it can reach

Third-party hosted service — Your requests and any data in them are sent to mcp.moderationapi.com.
No local execution — Nothing is installed or run on your machine.

Last commit today — Actively maintained.

Documentation

Full README

Moderation API MCP Server

Let AI agents run your Moderation API account: work through review queues, investigate authors, tune policies and wordlists, respond to incidents and report on how moderation is going.

This is a hosted (remote) Model Context Protocol server. Connect Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client to:

text

https://mcp.moderationapi.com/mcp

There is nothing to install. The server has one tool for each endpoint of the REST API, and it calls the same API as your code, so rate limits, quotas and request logs work the same way.

What your agent can do

Triage the review queue. "Go through today's unresolved items, reject the obvious spam, and show me the 5 you're unsure about." The agent does the first pass; you make the judgment calls.
Investigate an author. "Is user 8812 a bad actor? Check their history and suspend them if it's a pattern."
Tune policies from real examples. "These 10 comments got flagged but are fine, and these 3 got through. Fix it." The agent tests the examples without storing them, finds the thresholds or wordlist entries that separate them, and updates the channel.
Respond to incidents. "There's a raid of crypto scam posts in the last hour. Find them, block the authors, and add the domains to the blocklist."
Set up moderation without the dashboard. "Set up moderation for our new marketplace: a channel for listings, one for messages, and a webhook to our endpoint." Then send test content to check it.
Report and audit. "How did moderation go this month?" Queue stats, actions and author trends turned into a summary.
Combine with your other tools. A daily queue digest in Slack, an issue when a policy keeps misfiring, a draft reply to the user whose post was removed.

The server also ships prompts (recipes) for these jobs: triage-queue, check-author, tune-policy, incident-response and moderation-report. More example prompts: What your agent can do.

Tools

Read-only tools are marked as read-only, so your agent can run them without asking. Tools that change or delete data are marked as such, and most agents ask you before they run them.

Setup

You need a Moderation API account with the Owner, Admin or Developer role. Sign up free.
