# Connect any other client

> The three facts any MCP client needs to reach your Goosy Bear account, plus a prompt that wires it up for you.

Any client that speaks MCP over HTTP can reach your account. Give it these
three facts in whatever shape it uses.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a key">
    On **Settings → API & MCP**, create a key and copy it — it is shown once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Put the key in your environment">
    ```bash theme={null}
    export GOOSY_API_KEY="<paste the key you copied when you minted it>"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give your client the three facts">
    ```text theme={null}
    Server URL:       https://app.goosybear.ai/api/mcp/mcp
    Transport:        Streamable HTTP
    Authorization:    Bearer ${GOOSY_API_KEY}   (reference the variable — never paste the key)
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or let the client configure itself">
    Paste this into your client's agent:

    ```text theme={null}
    Add an MCP server using the Streamable HTTP transport. The server URL is https://app.goosybear.ai/api/mcp/mcp. It authenticates with a bearer token in the Authorization header. Reference the token through the GOOSY_API_KEY environment variable using this client's own syntax — do NOT hard-code it into a config file that gets committed. Use the correct config shape for this client, then confirm the connection works.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check it">
    Ask the client to list its tools and confirm the Goosy ones appear.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Whatever the client's syntax, reference the variable rather than pasting the
  key — a config file with a key in it is a credential in your version history.
</Note>

## Prefer plain HTTP?

Every action is also a normal `POST` endpoint with the same key. See the
[Quickstart](/quickstart) and the [API reference](/api-reference/overview).
