# Install MCP

> Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to your live ELI workspace.

<Note>
  Without MCP, your AI has no idea what tools your company runs or what they
  cost. Connect ELI and it already knows — no copy-pasting context every time.
</Note>

## Step 1 — Get your credentials

Go to your workspace → **Settings → MCP Settings** and generate your **Client ID**
and **Client Secret**. Keep the secret private. You'll use these in the next step
for whichever AI tool you choose.

## Step 2 — Install

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Add the ELI server">
        Run this in your terminal. Replace `YOUR_CLIENT_ID` with your Client ID —
        you'll be prompted for the secret.

        ```bash theme={null}
        claude mcp add --transport http eli \
          https://mcp.techbible.ai/mcp \
          --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
          --client-secret
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter your Client Secret">
        When prompted, paste your Client Secret. Claude Code stores the
        credentials and exchanges them for tokens automatically — nothing else to
        configure.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Start a session">
        ELI's tools are now available in every `claude` session. Ask it anything
        about your workspace.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Claude Desktop">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open Connectors in Claude Desktop">
        In Claude Desktop, go to **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter the server details">
        Set the name to **TechBible** and the URL to:

        ```
        https://mcp.techbible.ai/mcp
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Paste your credentials">
        Click Advanced settings and paste your **Client ID** and **Client
        Secret**. Save the connector.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Start a conversation">
        ELI's tools are now active in every Claude Desktop chat.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="ChatGPT">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open Connectors">
        In ChatGPT, go to **Settings → Connectors → Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select MCP">
        Choose **Model Context Protocol** from the connector type dropdown.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Paste the server URL">
        ```
        https://mcp.techbible.ai/mcp
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authorize with TechBible">
        Click **Connect** and complete the TechBible sign-in. ELI's tools are now
        active.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Cursor">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Generate an access token">
        In ELI, go to **Settings → MCP Servers**, click **Generate access token**,
        and copy it — it's shown once.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Open your Cursor MCP config">
        In Cursor, go to **Settings → Tools & MCPs → Add custom MCP**. This opens
        `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Add the ELI server block">
        Paste this and replace `YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN` with the token from step 1,
        then save.

        ```json ~/.cursor/mcp.json theme={null}
        {
          "mcpServers": {
            "eli": {
              "url": "https://mcp.techbible.ai/mcp",
              "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
              }
            }
          }
        }
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Start a conversation">
        ELI's tools are now active in every Cursor chat.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## What you can ask
