Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Your coding agent
meets your founder OS

19 tools across tasks, docs, compass, changelog, and more — accessible from any MCP-compatible client. Your IDE can read and write to your entire workspace.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of building separate plugins for each IDE, Einar exposes one MCP server that works everywhere — VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and beyond.

Get started in 2 minutes

Add the Einar MCP server to your client config. That's it.

1

Get your API key

Log in to Einar and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

2

Add to your MCP config

Paste this into your client's MCP configuration file (e.g. .vscode/mcp.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or claude_desktop_config.json).

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "einar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@einar/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "EINAR_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start building

Your coding agent now has access to your entire founder workspace. Ask it to check your backlog, update a doc, or log a feature — all without leaving your IDE.

What your agent can do

Real workflows, not toy demos.

"Check my backlog and find related tasks"

Your agent queries the backlog, cross-references with the code you're writing, and surfaces related tasks you should be aware of.

"Log what I just shipped"

After finishing a feature, your agent calls document_feature to create a changelog entry, link the related tasks, and organize it by date.

"Update the spec"

Your agent reads the current doc, proposes changes based on the code you just wrote, and upserts the updated version — fully versioned.

"Post my daily status"

At the end of the day, your agent reviews your recent activities and writes a status update for your team — no tab-switching required.

Open protocol, zero lock-in

Built for founders who code

Your founder OS shouldn't live in a browser tab you forget about. Bring it into the place where you actually build.
