# RedCircle API — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your RedCircle API account and use 32 tools for developer tools straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. RedCircle API is the real-time Target product data API for accessing Target product catalog, reviews, and category data.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_redcircle_api?ms=1787295720000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `redcircle_api_add_zipcodes`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/redcircle_api`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/redcircle_api/_endpoints`
