Connect with MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI apps use outside tools. Frames runs an MCP server, so any app that supports MCP can use it. Add Frames once, sign in with your Frames account, and your AI can use it whenever it needs data.

This is the server address you'll paste into your app:

https://api.frames.ag/mcp

How signing in works#

• Most apps: after you add Frames, the app opens a Frames sign-in page. Sign in and click Approve; there's no key to copy. The connection uses your account's plan and credits, and a plan upgrade applies on the next request without reconnecting.
• Scripts and agents without a browser: send your Frames API key as a header instead, Authorization: Bearer <your key>, read from an environment variable.
• Apps that only run local MCP servers: bridge with npx mcp-remote https://api.frames.ag/mcp.

Set up your app#

Pick your app below. Each setup was checked against the app's own docs on the date shown. Apps move their menus now and then, so if a step doesn't match what you see, the app's help pages have the current path.
