Getting started

Create an account, add your first connector and connect Claude, Codex or Cursor.

Last updated 2026-11-14

1. Create an account

Sign up with your email: we send a 6-digit code and a sign-in link, no password needed. You can add a passkey later in Settings → Account. Every account starts with a personal workspace.

2. Add a connector

Open Connectors and pick a server from the Directory (curated, with verified annotations) or add the URL of any remote MCP server (marked unverified). Then authenticate: OAuth opens the provider’s consent page; token-based servers ask you to paste an API key, ideally a read-only one.

Toolkien reads the server’s tools and generates TypeScript declarations for them.

3. Connect your MCP client

Add one remote MCP server to your client, with the URL of your Toolkien instance:

https://<your-toolkien-host>/mcp

The client opens a browser window: sign in to Toolkien, review the client asking for access and choose the workspace it starts in.

  • Claude (desktop and web): add a custom connector with the URL above.
  • Codex, VS Code and other clients: add a remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server with the URL above.
  • Cursor: add it to your MCP configuration:
{
	"mcpServers": {
		"toolkien": { "url": "https://<your-toolkien-host>/mcp" }
	}
}

Clients that support Client ID Metadata Documents register automatically; older clients use dynamic client registration.

4. Ask your agent

Ask for something that needs your tools, for example “list my open GitHub issues labelled p0 and post a summary in #triage”. The agent searches, describes and executes. When it reaches a tool set to ask, you approve the call in your client (if it supports elicitation) or on the Toolkien approval page it links to.
