# Overview

> Use the Chainshift Platform API from MCP-compatible AI agents

The Chainshift platform exposes its API as a **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server. Connect an AI agent such as Claude or Cursor, and you can manage brands, prompts, and prompt sets, submit run requests, and retrieve answers and statistics in natural language.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you need the following.

* An **organization API key**. Issue one from the Chainshift console.
* An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).

## Endpoint

The server uses the **Streamable HTTP** transport.

```
https://platform-api.trychainshift.ai/mcp
```

## Authentication

Pass your organization API key in the `API-Key` header.

```
API-Key: cs_live_xxxxxxxx
```

Every tool call is scoped to the organization the key belongs to. No other setup is required. For client-specific configuration examples, see [Connect](https://docs.trychainshift.ai/en/mcp/connect.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **web connectors** in Claude.ai and ChatGPT use OAuth authentication
> instead of entering an API key directly. See [Web connectors](https://docs.trychainshift.ai/en/mcp/web-connectors.md).
