# Set up and connect

> What you need before you start, and the three steps from nothing to a working connection.

Connecting takes about five minutes. With Claude there is no file to edit — you create a token in
Notifylyst, paste one URL into Claude, and paste the token once in the browser.

## Before you start

| You need | Why |
| - | - |
| Notifylyst installed on your store | The connector reads from your app; there is nothing to connect to without it. |
| A plan that includes **AI MCP Integration** | On a plan without it you can still authorize, but every call is refused with `MCP_PLAN_DISABLED`. See [Error codes](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/reference/errors.md). |
| An AI client that supports remote MCP servers | Claude (web, desktop and mobile) is the one-click path. Clients that take a config file work too — see [Other AI clients](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/other-clients.md). |

## The three steps

> [card] [1. Create an access token](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/access-tokens.md)
>
> In Notifylyst → Settings → Developers → AI connectors (MCP). Choose what it can do and an optional expiry.

> [card] [2. Connect to Claude](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/connect-claude.md)
>
> Paste the connector URL, paste the token once in the browser, authorize.

> [card] [3. Other AI clients](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/other-clients.md)
>
> Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and anything that reads a config file.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Everything you need is printed for you inside the app: **Settings → Developers → AI connectors
> (MCP)** shows your store's **Connector URL**, and each token's **Copy config** action gives you a
> ready-to-paste config. Copy from there rather than typing from this guide.
