Connect your coding agent

A coding agent connects to Exepad’s MCP server at https://mcp.exepad.com/mcp in one of two ways. Signed in to your account, it builds apps. With a developer key, it reads your account and builds nothing. To build in a chat with ChatGPT or Claude instead, connect it as an AI assistant plugin, on every plan.

Sign in to build apps (Pro)

On Pro, a coding agent signed in to your account is developer access: it creates and changes apps, builds a private preview and prepares a publish that you approve in Studio.

1. Add the server with no key.

   • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http exepad https://mcp.exepad.com/mcp

   • Cursor, in mcp.json:

     { "mcpServers": { "exepad": { "url": "https://mcp.exepad.com/mcp" } } }

   • Any other client: add an HTTP MCP server at https://mcp.exepad.com/mcp.

2. The client opens Exepad sign-in. Sign in and choose which apps it may use; apps it creates through the connection are added automatically.
3. Ask for an app. The agent uses create_app, apply_changes, build_preview and prepare_publish, and you approve each publish in Studio.

The connection ends 30 days after you approve it. See or revoke it on Connected assistants in Studio.

Read your account with a key

A developer key reaches three read-only tools: key metadata, the wallet and plan limits. Configure your client with:

Setting	Value
URL	https://mcp.exepad.com/mcp
Transport	HTTP JSON-RPC POST
Authorization	Bearer followed by your developer key
First scopes	billing:read; add keys:read only for key inventory

Keep the secret in the client’s credential or environment settings. Client configuration syntax varies; use its supported HTTP MCP configuration rather than pasting a key into a prompt.

Have the client initialize and call tools/list. It receives only tools permitted by the key. A first useful request is “Read my current plan limits and explain the available app allowances.” See MCP for the three exact tools and a request example.

An agent running inside the finished app is a separate experience with its own context and actions.
