Ask Archie. Get answers drawn from real architects' work, with credit where it's due.

ArchieSi searches licensed collections from architecture firms and answers with cited drawings, so every use is logged and every firm gets paid.

Try Archie For firms

How it works

Firms add their drawings and details to the catalog.
You ask in plain words, like "fireplaces in the style of Asher Benjamin."
Archie answers with the exact drawings it used, each one cited and logged.

For firms

Your work stays yours. You see per-firm usage and royalties on a dashboard, and you can take any item down instantly.

Works where you work

Connect Archie to your AI assistant, then just ask "Hey Zoe, find me Palladian windows."

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any assistant that supports MCP.

Ask Archie

ArchieSi

ArchieSi searches licensed collections from architecture firms and answers with the drawings it used. Every answer cites the source asset and the firm, and every call is written to that firm's usage log.

The MCP endpoint is live at https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/mcp. Sign in with OAuth. Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients discover sign-in from https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.

Tools

search_catalog(query, image?, filters) returns ranked asset cards plus a ranked firm list.
get_asset_card(asset_id) returns card data, preview link, license terms, and price.
compare_assets(ids) returns a side-by-side comparison.
explore(question, image?, max_firms) runs cross-firm discovery and returns a cited synthesis.
ask_firm(firm, question) runs RAG scoped to one firm and returns an answer with cited asset IDs. It replaces v3's ask_firm_assistant.
request_license(asset_id, terms, project) returns a checkout link or a license record.
get_delivery_link(license_id) returns an expiring link for the Revit plugin or download.

License checkout and delivery links are not enabled on this deploy. Those two tools answer that plainly.

Claude

Add a custom connector whose URL is https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/mcp. Claude returns to https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback.

Claude Code has to use loopback port 8080. Cognito matches the port, and that port is the one registered for this client:


claude mcp add --transport http archie https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/mcp --callback-port 8080

Cursor


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archie": {
      "url": "https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor's redirect is https://www.cursor.com/agents/mcp/oauth/callback. The local callback is http://localhost:8787/callback. Cognito does not accept the cursor:// scheme, so that older desktop fallback is not registered.

Generic MCP client


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archie": {
      "url": "https://archie.sinqlabs.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If the client does not register itself, use the public client id from the McpClientId stack output.

Agent instructions

Always show citations. Never strip or alter firm credit or attribution. Every drawing in an answer names the firm it came from.
