# Connect Your AI (Claude, Cursor & more)

Three steps from zero to an AI assistant that works inside your chats - no coding required.

You need the mssgs **desktop app** (macOS, Windows or Linux) and an AI tool that speaks MCP - Claude Desktop and Cursor are the usual picks.

## Step 1 - Enable MCP access

## Step 2 - Create a token

Create a named token ("Claude laptop", for example). The token is the key your AI uses - you can see its activity and revoke it anytime.

## Step 3 - Hand the config to your AI tool

Click **Copy config** and paste the ready-made block into your AI tool's MCP settings (Claude Desktop or Cursor). Prefer the terminal?

```
claude mcp add --transport http mssgs http://127.0.0.1:7444/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
```

Full protocol details live in the [MCP section of the API docs](https://mss.gs/en/docs#mcp).

## Try it

Ask your assistant: *"What channels can you see?"* - then *"Summarize the last 50 messages in #general"*, or start a [game](https://mss.gs/en/help/games/playing-games) and invite it to play.
