1.Quickest: Auten adds itself to Claude Code.

2.Or add it yourself with the Claude Code CLI, then type /mcp in Claude Code to check that auten is listed:

1.Add Auten with the Codex CLI. The Codex app and IDE extension read the same config:

2.Or put this in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.auten]
command = "auten"
args = ["mcp-bridge"]

1.Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project), then check Settings, MCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.Add Auten for your user with the Gemini CLI:

2.Or add the same mcpServers entry to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh the MCP servers in Cascade:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.For GitHub Copilot agent mode, add Auten to your VS Code user profile:

2.Or run MCP: Open User Configuration and add it under servers:

{
  "servers": {
    "auten": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.Open Settings, Developer, Edit Config (on macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

2.Restart Claude Desktop. Auten shows up in the tools menu.

1.Run zed: open settings file (~/.config/zed/settings.json) and add:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.In Cline open MCP Servers, Configure, which opens cline_mcp_settings.json, and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "auten": {
      "command": "auten",
      "args": ["mcp-bridge"]
    }
  }
}

1.No agent? Give the auten CLI your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek or any OpenAI-compatible provider:

2.Then just say what you need:
