Connect an AI agent
Add TileSet to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or ChatGPT with one URL and a browser sign-in. No key to copy.
TileSet runs an MCP server at one URL:
https://app.tileset.com/mcp
The first time an agent calls it, a browser tab opens. Sign in with Google or by email, and approve. That is the whole setup; there is no key to create or paste.
The approval screen says where the access goes: “an app on this computer” for Claude Code, Cursor and other desktop or command-line agents, or the website’s address for an agent that runs on the web. Allow it only when you started the connection from your own agent.
Per client
| Client | How |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude mcp add tileset --scope user --transport http https://app.tileset.com/mcp (once per machine). Guide: Claude Code |
| Claude (web and desktop) | Settings, Connectors, add a custom connector with that URL. Guide: Claude |
| Cursor | Add { "mcpServers": { "tileset": { "url": "https://app.tileset.com/mcp" } } } to ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json. Guide: Cursor |
| Lovable | Chat connectors, add a custom MCP server with that URL and choose OAuth. Guide: Lovable |
| ChatGPT | Settings, Connectors (turn on developer mode first if your plan needs it), a new connector with that URL and OAuth. Guide: ChatGPT |
Then ask: “Add my YouTube channel @yourchannel to my homepage with TileSet”. It then creates the widget and returns the snippet, and can check the live page afterwards.
What the agent can and cannot see
It gets a TileSet key for your widgets and sources. It never gets your platform passwords or tokens. It is also never handed your content, from any source: it sees which sources and widgets you have, their settings and counts such as how many reviews a source holds, and a preview of the widget as visitors see it. Each connected agent appears under Agents & API named after the app; revoke it there and it loses access at once. An agent you have not used for 90 days is disconnected on its own; the next time you use it, it asks you to approve it again.
