# Quickstart

> Connect your Botdog account to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor in 60 seconds.

## 1. Paste the server URL into your client

The server URL is the same for everyone:

```
https://api.botdog.co/mcp
```

### Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and mobile)

Custom connectors are added once on your Claude account and show up in claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and the mobile apps.

#### Pro and Max plans

1. Sign in at [claude.ai](https://claude.ai).
2. Go to **Customize → Connectors**.
3. Click **+** → **Add custom connector**.
4. Enter `https://api.botdog.co/mcp` as the remote MCP server URL and click **Add**.
5. Click **Connect** on the Botdog connector. Claude opens `app.botdog.co/oauth/consent` to finish authorizing.
6. In a chat, click **+** → **Connectors** and toggle **Botdog** on.

#### Team and Enterprise plans

An owner adds the connector first: **Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web**, enter `https://api.botdog.co/mcp`, then click **Add**. Members then go to **Customize → Connectors**, click **Connect** on Botdog, and enable it in a chat from **+** → **Connectors**.

<Note>
  `claude_desktop_config.json` only supports local servers. Add Botdog as a custom connector as shown above instead.
</Note>

### ChatGPT (developer mode)

Custom MCP servers need **Developer mode** (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans, on the web). On Business and Enterprise workspaces, an admin may need to allow it first.

1. Open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.
2. Open **Settings → Plugins** and click **+** (it only appears once Developer mode is on).
3. Fill in:
   * **Name:** `Botdog`
   * **Description:** `Manage my Botdog campaigns`
   * **Connection:** MCP server URL `https://api.botdog.co/mcp`
   * **Authentication:** OAuth
4. Create the connection. ChatGPT opens `app.botdog.co/oauth/consent` to finish authorizing.
5. In a new chat, add **Botdog** from the tools menu.

### Cursor

Add Botdog to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (one project):

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "botdog": { "url": "https://api.botdog.co/mcp" }
  }
}
```

Open **Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP** and click **Needs login** next to **botdog** to authorize.

### Claude Code

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http botdog https://api.botdog.co/mcp
```

Then run `/mcp` inside Claude Code (or `claude mcp login botdog` from your terminal) to sign in. Add `--scope user` to the first command to use Botdog in every project.

## 2. Authorize Botdog

When your client starts the sign-in, your browser opens `app.botdog.co/oauth/consent`. Sign in if you aren't already. If you belong to more than one team, pick the team to connect. Both scopes start checked: uncheck `mcp.write` if you want read-only access — see [Scopes](/mcp/scopes). Then click **Allow**.

You're done. Try asking:

> "Show me my Botdog campaigns."

See [Example Prompts](/mcp/examples) for more you can try.

## 3. Disconnecting

Remove the Botdog connector from your AI client's settings. Clients that support OAuth token revocation revoke access immediately. Connections your client hasn't refreshed in 14 days are revoked automatically, and a connection that is never refreshed expires 30 days after you authorize it. To have a connection revoked right away, email `support@botdog.co`.
