​
What is the Lensmor MCP Server?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to external tools and data sources. The Lensmor MCP Server gives compatible AI clients live access to Lensmor event intelligence. Your assistant can search recorded trade shows, research exhibitors, discover relevant contacts, and help you complete data-access workflows using natural-language requests.
Lensmor MCP uses OAuth. A Lensmor Business API key is not a valid credential for the MCP endpoint.

​
Why use it?

Without an MCP connection, an AI assistant cannot query your current Lensmor data or use Lensmor actions. Once connected, it can work with the available data and operation schemas directly.

​
Setup

1

Open Settings

Open the profile menu in Codex and select Settings.
2

Add an MCP server

Under Integrations, select Plugins, then choose Add → Add MCP server.
3

Configure Lensmor

Enter Lensmor as the name, select Streamable HTTP, and enter https://platform.lensmor.com/mcp as the URL. Leave the bearer-token environment variable and headers empty.
4

Save and connect

Select Save, complete Lensmor OAuth in the browser, and choose a Workspace when prompted.
You can also add Lensmor from the Codex CLI:

​
Tool permissions

Your AI client may ask for approval before using a Lensmor tool for the first time. Use the client’s permission settings to allow, prompt for, or block individual tools. Lensmor separately confirms operations that can consume credits. Connecting your account or allowing a tool does not approve a paid action.

​
Example prompts

Once connected, describe the result you want as you would to a colleague.

​
Find relevant trade shows

“Find retail technology trade shows in Germany between March and June 2027.”

​
Research exhibitors

“At NRF 2027, find exhibitors offering computer-vision loss prevention and rank the best matches.”

​
Find contacts

“At CES 2027, find director-level procurement contacts at battery technology companies.”

​
Research a company

“Find marketing leaders at example.com and show the available contact summaries.”

​
Look up event history

“Which trade shows has Acme Robotics exhibited at since 2024? Show me the price before running the lookup.”

​
Request contact details

“Show me the price to unlock business emails for these five contacts.”

​
Credits and costs

Most discovery and research operations are free to run. Directory access, reverse event lookups, and contact-detail unlocks can consume Lensmor credits. A paid workflow follows this sequence:
  • Creating a quote does not consume credits.
  • The live quote shows the current price, chargeable items, available balance, and expiry.
  • Only the signed-in user can approve the confirmation.
  • Empty reverse-lookup results are not charged.
  • Existing access and previously unlocked fields are taken into account before charging.
Prices and eligibility can vary by account, existing access, and product policy. Always use the live Lensmor quote as the final price before confirming.

​
Troubleshooting

Verify that the server URL is exactly https://platform.lensmor.com/mcp, without a trailing slash or extra path. Restart the client after adding the server.
Complete Lensmor OAuth in the browser. Do not use a Business API key for this connection. If the authorization was revoked or the selected Workspace changed, disconnect Lensmor and authenticate again.
Reconnect the server and start a new conversation so the client refreshes its available tools. Availability can also depend on your account and Workspace permissions.
Choose the correct event, company, or person when the assistant asks. Lensmor does not automatically select an ambiguous result.
Read the reason returned with the quote or result. The account may have insufficient credits, lack the required access, or be ineligible for that operation.
