idapt runs a hosted MCP server, so any MCP client can drive your workspace through a single tool. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent at it with an API key and it reads and writes your files, agents, and more 🔌
Your client sends JSON-RPC 2.0 requests over Streamable HTTP to https://idapt.app/api/mcp. It authenticates with an idapt
API key, passed as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY or x-api-key: YOUR_KEY. There is no OAuth handshake to set
up.
The server exposes one tool, idapt. You reach every
capability by giving it an action and its arguments:
{ "action": "<resource> <verb>", "args": { ... } }{ "action": "<resource> <verb>", "args": { ... } }Only action is required. The command string is the same <resource> <verb>grammar the idapt CLI and
the in-app agent speak, so MCP behaves exactly like the rest of idapt.
See what an MCP client can do for the call shape and the full surface.
The server fails closed. Each action maps to a scope on your API key,
and an action your key does not carry is denied. user:read is always required. Grant the narrowest set
that does the job: see MCP permissions.
Calls address a resource inside a workspace, so the first call to make
is { "action": "workspace list" }. It needs no
qualifier, confirms the connection, and shows which workspaces the key
can reach.
MCP works on every signed-in account, including the free tier. You can create up to 1000 API keys at Settings →Developer, so there is no paid-plan requirement to connect a client.
Work done through MCP draws on the same Credit balance, welcome credit included, as using idapt in the browser. See plans, credits, and the welcome credit.
