Connect kitty to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client

kitty exposes a remote Model Context Protocol server, so an assistant can operate your ventures instead of you copying text between tabs.

Get an API key

Settings → Security → API keys (MCP) → name it (something like "Claude Desktop") → Create key.

The key starts kitty_sk_ and is shown once — copy it immediately. You can hold up to 10 live keys, and revoke any of them from the same card.

A key acts as you: same workspace, same venture access, same plan limits, same Treats. It cannot satisfy a two-factor challenge and cannot create more keys.

Point your client at it

Endpoint: https://kitty.build/api/mcp, authenticated with Authorization: Bearer kitty_sk_....

The transport is stateless Streamable HTTP and POST only — a client that opens with GET is told so rather than hanging.

Full per-client setup, including config snippets for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and the Claude API, is on the MCP setup guide. It is the authoritative version and is kept in step with the server.

What your assistant can do

Eleven tools:

Tool	What it does
list_ventures	Every venture the key can reach
get_venture	One venture in detail
create_venture	Add a new one
start_analysis	Convene the nine boards
get_analysis_status	Poll a running analysis
get_board_report	Read one board's research
get_portfolio	The cross-venture view
ask_advisor	Put a question to an advisor persona
manage_todos	List, add or complete todos
add_note	Write a note to a venture
get_credit_balance	Your Treats balance

Analyses take about twenty minutes, so the pattern is start_analysis then poll get_analysis_status — don't hold a single call open.

Costs and limits

Jobs cost exactly what they cost in the app: a deep analysis is 80 Treats whether started by you or by your assistant. The endpoint is rate limited to 60 requests per minute per key.

If it stops working

• 401 — the key is wrong, revoked, or the header isn't Authorization: Bearer kitty_sk_...
• 405 — your client is using GET; the server is POST-only
• 429 — over 60 requests a minute; back off
• 402 — out of Treats, see how Treats work
