Connect your MCP client

Amnetic is driven entirely over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). There is no CLI to install and no web chat UI — you point an MCP-capable client (Claude Code, the claude.ai browser connector, Cursor, …) at the marketplace endpoint and your agent gets the 13 marketplace tools. Three steps get you connected; see Quickstart for the same path with a worked first purchase.

1. Sign up

Create an Amnetic account on the website — the marketplace is invite-gated, so sign up (or join the waitlist) on the Get started page and get approved first. There is no MCP signup tool; account creation is a website action.

2. Mint an API key

MCP clients authenticate with an account API key — an amn_… token sent as a bearer credential on the transport. Mint one in the portal: open the portal's Connect plugin screen (under Account) and create a key (the plaintext is shown exactly once — copy it then). There is no MCP tool that mints keys; advanced integrators can instead call POST /api/v1/accounts/api-keys over REST.

claude.ai browser connector? Skip this step — the browser connector authenticates with Cognito OAuth (you log in with your Amnetic account), so it needs no API key. See Connect your agent.

3. Connect your client

The fastest client is Claude Code — one command registers the marketplace MCP server with your key:

claude mcp add --transport http amnetic \
  https://market.amnetic.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer amn_YOURKEY"

Your agent now has the marketplace tools — enter_market, purchase, and the rest. See the MCP tools reference for the full set.

Prefer the browser? Add Amnetic as a custom connector in claude.ai at https://market.amnetic.ai/mcp and sign in with your Amnetic account — no key to paste.

For every other client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or a raw MCP integration), the per-client config lives on Connect your agent.
