# Use hiy from AI apps

Rolling out to workspaces in turn; your Developers page shows when it is on for yours.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps to hiy, then ask them about your agents in a chat. Each app needs one address and a sign-in.

## Copy the address

Open **Workspace › Developers › AI apps** and press **Copy** next to **Server address**. The address is `https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp`. Apps that sign in need only this address.

*Workspace › Developers › AI apps*

## Connect your app

Pick your app below. When it asks, sign in to hiy as an Owner or Admin, tick the workspaces, choose **Read only** or **Read and change**, and press **Allow**.

### Claude

1. **Open Customize › Connectors** — Press **Add custom connector**. On the Free plan you can add one custom connector.

2. **Paste the address** — Name it hiy, paste `https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp` and press **Add**.

3. **Sign in to hiy** — Sign in when Claude asks.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds hiy first in **Organization settings › Connectors**, and each member then presses **Connect**.

### ChatGPT

1. **Add a custom MCP server** — In ChatGPT on the web, open **Plugins** at chatgpt.com/plugins, press **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. **Paste the address** — Name it hiy, paste `https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp` as the **Server URL**, and choose **OAuth**.

3. **Create it and sign in** — Press **Create as a plugin**, install it, and sign in to hiy. In a chat, type `@` and pick hiy.

### Claude Code

Run this in your terminal, then run `/mcp` in Claude Code and sign in to hiy. Add `--scope user` to use hiy in every project.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http hiy https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp
```

### Claude Desktop

1. **Open Customize › Connectors** — Select **Customize** in the sidebar, then **Connectors**.

2. **Add the address** — Press **Add custom connector**, name it hiy, paste `https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp` and press **Add**.

3. **Sign in to hiy** — Sign in in the browser that opens.

A connector you added on claude.ai is already in Claude Desktop.

### Cursor

Add this to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or to `.cursor/mcp.json` for one project. Save, restart Cursor, and sign in to hiy when Cursor asks.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "hiy": { "url": "https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp" } } }
```

### VS Code

Run this in your terminal, then ask for hiy in chat and sign in when your browser opens. You can also run **MCP: Add Server** from the Command Palette and choose **HTTP**.

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"hiy","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp"}'
```

### Other apps

Add a remote MCP server with the address, choose Streamable HTTP if asked, and sign in to hiy.

## Use an API key instead

For scripts and CI, an app can send an [API key](/docs/api-keys) instead of signing in. On the AI apps page, press **Create a key for it** under your app: **Create key** opens with **Read only** chosen.

- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http hiy https://mcp.hiy.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <key>"`
- Cursor: add `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:HIY_API_KEY}" }` next to `url`, put your key in `HIY_API_KEY`, and restart Cursor.
- Other apps: send `Authorization: Bearer <key>`.

## Disconnect an app

Under **Connected apps** on the AI apps page, press **Disconnect** next to the app. It stops at its next call.

**Good to know:**

- An app acts as the person who connected it, never beyond that person's role.
- An app reaches only the workspaces you ticked.
- API keys and AI apps share one count per workspace: 5 on Growth.
- AI app access is on Growth and Scale.
