Connect your agent

Contue is a remote MCP server. Add it once in your AI tool and sign in with an email code.

Add the server

In your AI tool's connector or MCP settings, add https://getcontue.com/mcp.

Sign in

The tool opens a sign-in page. Enter your email, type the code you get, then choose read and write, or read only.

Use it

Ask your agent to find, read, or update your issues.

For a CLI agent: claude mcp add --transport http contue https://getcontue.com/mcp. Pages for each tool are coming.

For AI agents: how to connect

If a user asked you to connect to Contue, follow this. You do not need anything from the user except one click to approve.

Your MCP client can open a browser on the user's device (desktop app, local CLI): just add https://getcontue.com/mcp. It signs in by itself.
You run in the cloud, in a sandbox, or as a background task (the sign-in cannot redirect back to you): use the device flow below.

Request a sign-in link:

curl -X POST https://getcontue.com/oauth/device_authorization -d "client_name=YOUR_AGENT_NAME"

Send the user the verification_uri_complete link from the reply. They open it on any device, sign in with their email code, and tap Allow. The link is valid for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, every interval seconds (5), ask for the token. authorization_pending means keep waiting; slow_down means wait longer.

curl -X POST https://getcontue.com/token \
  -d "grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code" \
  -d "device_code=DEVICE_CODE" -d "client_id=CLIENT_ID"

When you get access_token, connect to https://getcontue.com/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN. For example:
```
claude mcp add --transport http contue https://getcontue.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

Fallback: the user can also create a personal access token on their account page and give it to you. Tokens last one year and can be revoked there.
