Connect your assistant

connect0 exposes an MCP server at https://mcp.connect0.ai. Any MCP-capable assistant can register it and then act on your account, projects, and sandboxes through one governed, audited surface. This page has the setup snippet for the common clients.

Claude Code

Add the server over the HTTP transport:

claude mcp add --transport http connect0 https://mcp.connect0.ai

Then run /mcp in the client to trigger the sign-in (see the OAuth step below).

Claude Desktop and other JSON-config clients

Add connect0 to the client's mcpServers config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connect0": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.connect0.ai"
    }
  }
}

Clients that don't yet support a remote HTTP transport natively can bridge to it with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connect0": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.connect0.ai"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the client after editing the config.

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connect0": {
      "url": "https://mcp.connect0.ai"
    }
  }
}

Enable connect0 under Cursor's MCP settings, then trigger the sign-in.

VS Code

Add a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "connect0": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.connect0.ai"
    }
  }
}

Start the server from the MCP view and complete the handshake.

The one-time OAuth handshake

The first time the client connects, it opens a browser and runs an OAuth 2.1 flow against auth.connect0.ai. You sign in, approve the client, and the credentials are saved locally. The handshake happens once per machine; after that the assistant reconnects silently. Because every action rides your grant, each tool call the assistant makes is scoped to what you can access and is audited.

Ask the assistant about connect0 itself

The MCP server exposes a public documentation tool, connect0_search_docs, that any connected assistant can call — no account required. When you ask "how do I connect a Postgres source?" the assistant can search these docs and answer with links back to the relevant page, so you don't have to leave your editor to look things up.

Where to go next

• Quickstart — create your first account and project and run a command.
• Core objects — the object model your assistant will be acting on.
