Quikturn Is Now an MCP Server — Here's What That Means for Your AI Workflow

AI agents can now search, browse, and retrieve company logos from Quikturn's database — no API wrapper code needed. Just add a config and go.

Quikturn has always been about making company logos easy to access — whether through our web platform, PowerPoint add-in, or REST API. Today, we're expanding that access to a new surface: AI agents.

Quikturn is now available as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which means any MCP-compatible AI tool — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, VS Code Copilot — can search for, browse, and retrieve company logos directly in their workflows.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI tools connect to external data sources and services. Think of it as a universal plug that lets AI agents talk to tools like databases, APIs, and file systems without custom integration code.

Instead of writing API wrapper code for each tool, MCP clients discover available tools through a structured protocol. The AI agent knows what tools exist, what they do, and how to use them — all described in natural language.

For a deeper dive into the protocol, visit modelcontextprotocol.io.

How Quikturn's MCP Server Works

Our MCP server exposes three tools that follow a natural search to browse to fetch pattern:

search_logos — Search by company name, domain, or ticker symbol

get_company_logos — Browse all logo variants for a company

get_logo — Retrieve a specific logo as base64 data or signed URL

It's the same 17M+ logo database that powers the PowerPoint add-in and REST API. And it uses the same sk_ server keys — no new authentication system.

Setup Walkthrough

Here's how to set it up with Claude Desktop. The process is nearly identical for Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.

1. Get your server key

Sign up at getquikturn.io/signup and create a server API key from your dashboard. You'll need a Launch plan or above for MCP access.

2. Add the config

Open your Claude Desktop config file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quikturn-logos": {
      "url": "https://logos.getquikturn.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start using it

Restart Claude Desktop, and you can start asking for logos naturally:

You:

"Find the Notion logo and insert it into my document"

Claude:

Searches Quikturn → finds 3 variants → selects the full logo → fetches as base64 → inserts into the document

For Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline, the config JSON is identical — just place it in the respective MCP config file for that tool.

Use Cases

AI-Assisted Presentations

Ask Claude Desktop to find and insert company logos into slides, pitch decks, and reports.

Automated Report Generation

Let AI agents build branded PDF reports with real company logos — no manual sourcing needed.

Developer Workflows

Use Cursor or Windsurf to fetch logos for README files, mockups, and app assets while you code.

Data Enrichment

Agents can add company logos to CRM records, dashboards, and business intelligence tools.

Pricing & Access

MCP access is included with all paid API plans. It uses your existing server key and counts toward the same usage metering — no separate billing.
