# Connect an AI assistant

Link Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible assistant to your Jimo project. The whole flow takes about two minutes.

## Step 1: Copy the MCP Endpoint URL

From your Jimo dashboard, go to [Settings → Integrations → Model Context Protocol](https://i.usejimo.com/settings/integrations/mcp). The **MCP Endpoint** card shows the URL to use. Click **Copy**.

```
https://mcp.usejimo.com/mcp
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The URL must include **/mcp** at the end. The bare domain does not answer.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Add the Connector in Your Assistant

### Claude (web or desktop)

1. Open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**.

   <figure><img src="https://2794860263-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKzAcDWQbK1gKbpra7bkb%2Fuploads%2FnS2MHhwFQGbRj4hd6Ovz%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c4652997-86ed-40ae-9f98-5b874d75a2e1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
2. Paste the URL and confirm. Do not use the manual configuration option.

### Claude Code

Run:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http jimo https://mcp.usejimo.com/mcp
```

Then run `/mcp`, select **jimo**, and choose **Authenticate**.

### Cursor and other clients

Add a **remote MCP server** with the URL in the client's MCP settings.

## Step 3: Sign In to Jimo

Your browser opens on a Jimo sign-in page. If you are already signed in, you go straight to the approval page.

## Step 4: Choose the Project

The approval page says which assistant is asking and lets you pick **one project**.

<figure><img src="https://2794860263-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKzAcDWQbK1gKbpra7bkb%2Fuploads%2FDS2Bfrhspt8YJe9VZEIs%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=bef2ecfc-0b9b-48f3-b557-bce542b1ce13" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Step 5: Choose What the Assistant Can Access

Four permissions are offered: **Read project data and analytics**, **Manage Experiences**, **Teach my Jimo Agent**, and **Build and run my Jimo Agent**. Untick the ones you do not need, you can add them later by connecting again.

<figure><img src="https://2794860263-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKzAcDWQbK1gKbpra7bkb%2Fuploads%2FdYdE6dEMier3yrsd5K9u%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=34325ea7-1737-45cd-9c90-eca11610a2a7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[Permissions & Safety](/docs/integrations/mcp/permissions-and-safety.md) details what each permission unlocks.

## Step 6: Approve

The browser hands control back to the assistant, and the Jimo tools appear in it. Ask your first question, for example: "How is the project doing this month?"

<figure><img src="https://2794860263-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKzAcDWQbK1gKbpra7bkb%2Fuploads%2FWNnJUkVqSPrvmDodjjNW%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=9f4cebcd-1eb8-4307-a756-c1ebf1f69295" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Connecting Again, or Connecting Another Project

Connecting the same assistant a second time never removes access. If you already granted some permissions, the page says so and lists what approving would add. If nothing new is requested, approving simply reconnects.

<figure><img src="https://2794860263-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKzAcDWQbK1gKbpra7bkb%2Fuploads%2FO2Ye8PhCBWsl5S4UdcJL%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=03d579fc-068f-4023-99b3-3ab043edc551" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To work with a second project, add the same URL again and pick the other project on the approval page. Each connection works with one project at a time.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is also how an assistant connected before October 7, 2026 gets **Build and run my Jimo Agent**: connect again, and approve the new permission.
