# Connect

> Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI clients to your Oviond account over MCP.

Every supported AI connector reaches Oviond at the same hosted server URL over OAuth:

```
https://api.oviond.com/mcp
```

## Supported connectors

All use the standard **streamable HTTP** transport with **OAuth 2.1 + PKCE** — setup differs only in where you paste the URL.

| Connector             | What it is                                                              |

## Claude (web & desktop)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Claude settings">
    On the web or in the desktop app, open **Settings → Connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Oviond">
    Click **+ Add custom connector** and enter the URL `https://api.oviond.com/mcp`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    Claude opens a browser window to Oviond's sign-in page. Sign in and authorize the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    You should see Oviond in your connector list. Start a chat and ask Claude to *"list my Oviond clients"* to confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Claude Code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the server">
    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add --transport http oviond https://api.oviond.com/mcp
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Run `/mcp` inside Claude Code and choose to authenticate — it opens a browser to complete the Oviond OAuth flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Ask Claude Code to *"list my Oviond clients"* to confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Cursor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Cursor settings">
    **Settings → MCP** (or edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` directly).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the server">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "oviond": {
          "url": "https://api.oviond.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Restart Cursor. On first tool call, Cursor opens a browser to complete OAuth.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## ChatGPT, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Openclaw & other clients

The flow is the same everywhere: add a **custom / remote MCP connector** pointing at `https://api.oviond.com/mcp`, then complete the OAuth sign-in when the client prompts you.

* **ChatGPT** — add Oviond as a custom connector in settings.
* **VS Code** — add it as an MCP server for Copilot agent mode.
* **Codex**, **Windsurf**, **Openclaw**, and any other MCP client — register a remote streamable-HTTP MCP server at the URL above.

Then verify by asking the agent to *"list my Oviond clients."*

<Note>
  Only **streamable HTTP** transport is supported. Stdio servers don't apply here — Oviond's MCP server is hosted by us, not run locally.
</Note>

<Note>
  MCP access requires an eligible plan. Subscription plans include API/MCP access; lifetime plans need the API add-on. If your plan isn't entitled, the connection is rejected during sign-in.
</Note>

## First prompts to try

* *"List all my Oviond clients."*
* *"Create a new client called 'Acme Corp' with website acme.example."*
* *"Build a dashboard called 'Paid Social Overview' for Acme."*
* *"Schedule the Acme monthly report to send on the 1st of every month."*

## Teach your agent the workflows

Tool descriptions say what each tool does; they can't say what order to do things
in. If your client supports the `skills` ecosystem, install the Oviond skill so
your agent has the full workflow guide:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add oviond/skills --skill oviond
```

See [Skills](/mcp/skills) for what it covers.
