Get started

Quickstart

Describe the tool you want, paste in any credentials, watch the build stream, copy a snippet into your AI client. Five minutes from first prompt to a live OAuth-protected MCP server.

Prerequisites

An AI client that speaks MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Custom Connectors, VS Code Copilot, or Continue.dev.
API credentials for whatever you want your server to access (Notion, your DB, etc.). Or pick the echo example to skip this.

1. Sign in

Hit the dashboard and enter your email. We send a magic link — no password.

dev mode

The link is printed to the API console output.
Check the terminal where you ran `pnpm dev`.

2. Describe your tool

Click + New server and write what you want in plain language. The clearer you are about which APIs and which tool names, the better the spec.

prompt.txt

Search and read pages from our Notion workspace via the Notion API.
Tools: search_pages(query), get_page_content(page_id).
Auth: NOTION_API_KEY.

3. Confirm the plan

Step 2 of the wizard shows you exactly which tools Claude parsed from your prompt, the input schemas, and which credentials we need from you. Fill them in. Skip the step entirely for self-contained demo servers like the echo template.

4. Watch the build stream

The build goes through five states live over WebSocket:

queued → spec validated, job in BullMQ
generating → Claude returns spec (or cached preview is reused)
building → TypeScript rendered, static checks, Docker image built
deploying → container booted on an allocated host port
live → endpoint responds, OAuth gate is active

5. Install in your client

The Done screen shows three tabs — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT — each with a copy-ready snippet. Paste the JSON into your client's MCP config and restart. The OAuth handshake runs automatically on first tool call.

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notion-reader": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4103/mcp",
      "auth": "oauth2"
    }
  }
}
