MCP Setup

For most users, start from Atlas itself:

  • Atlas Settings > MCP
  • Atlas desktop first-run setup wizard
Atlas Connect MCP Tools screen showing Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cursor

This screen is the app-first MCP path: shipped tools that Atlas can connect now are surfaced as enabled toggles, while manual-only tools remain available as snippet-based setup.

  • Claude Code
  • Claude Desktop
  • Codex
  • VS Code

Cursor remains snippet-only until its automatic write path is fully verified.

The same setup contract is exposed through:

  • Atlas Settings > MCP
  • Atlas Desktop first-run setup wizard
  1. Open Atlas Settings > MCP or continue from the first-run setup wizard.
  2. Leave enabled the tools Atlas already detects and can connect now.
  3. Review any manual-only tools shown in the UI and use the provided snippets only if you need them.
  4. Restart the connected agent tool when Atlas tells you the setup is complete.
