FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the hosted MCP URL?
There is no mcp.seaotter.ai endpoint. That domain is OtterScore, not SEAOTTER. Install the official @ryanseaotter/mcp-server from seaotter.dev/connect, or follow the MCP reference at docs.seaotter.dev/mcp.
Do I need a sales call to get started?
No. The quickstart, API reference, and connection flow are all documented so you can test from chat or curl immediately.
Where should I start if I want the control-plane API docs?
Start here on /docs, then open the API reference and authentication docs for keys, scopes, and control-plane calls.
