Connecting your client

Available onevery plan

Cabin's MCP server lives at https://withcabin.com/mcp and authenticates with OAuth: your client opens a browser window where you sign in to Cabin and approve access.

Let your agent set itself up

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent that can fetch a URL, and it will read the official instructions and configure itself.

Or set it up by hand. Find your client below.

Claude (claude.ai)

1. Open claude.ai, click your profile icon, then select Settings
2. In the sidebar, click Connectors
3. Scroll down and click Add custom connector
4. Enter the URL: https://withcabin.com/mcp
5. Click Add, and you'll be redirected through the OAuth flow to grant Cabin access

Once connected, enable the Cabin connector in any conversation via the + button in the chat input, then Connectors.

Claude Code

Run the following command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http cabin https://withcabin.com/mcp

Claude Code will open your browser to complete the OAuth flow. Verify the server was added with claude mcp list.

Cursor

Add the following to your MCP config file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor, then open Settings → MCP. The Cabin server will appear. Click it to complete the OAuth authentication flow.

ChatGPT

1. Open chatgpt.com and go to Settings → Apps & Connectors
2. Click Advanced settings and enable Developer Mode
3. Go back to the Connectors tab and click Create
4. Enter a name (e.g. "Cabin Analytics") and the URL: https://withcabin.com/mcp
5. Set Authentication to OAuth
6. Click Save, and you'll be redirected through the OAuth flow to grant Cabin access

Codex

Run the following command in your terminal:

codex mcp add cabin --url https://withcabin.com/mcp

Then authenticate with codex mcp login cabin to complete the OAuth flow. Verify the server was added with codex mcp list.

Prefer editing config directly? Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.cabin]
url = "https://withcabin.com/mcp"

Streamable HTTP MCP servers require Codex CLI 0.121.0 or newer.

VS Code (Copilot)

Add the following to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "cabin": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and click the tools icon and the Cabin server will appear. On first use, VS Code opens your browser to complete the OAuth flow.

Windsurf

Windsurf uses the mcp-remote proxy to handle OAuth. Add the following to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://withcabin.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js. On first connection, mcp-remote opens your browser to complete the OAuth flow.

Gemini CLI

Add the following to your Gemini CLI settings file at ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then run /mcp auth cabin in the Gemini CLI to complete the OAuth flow. The Gemini web app doesn't currently support custom MCP servers, so use the Gemini CLI or Gemini Enterprise.

Zed

Add the following to your Zed settings (cmd+,):

{
  "context_servers": {
    "cabin": {
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed automatically triggers the OAuth flow when you first use the server.

JetBrains (IntelliJ, WebStorm, etc.)

1. Open Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)
2. Click Add and choose the HTTP connection type
3. Enter the following config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

4. Click OK, then Apply. The server will show "Authorization required". Click Authorize to complete the OAuth flow. Requires AI Assistant plugin 2025.2+.

Cline

1. Open Cline in VS Code and click the MCP icon (plug icon) in the top bar
2. Click Configure MCP Servers to open cline_mcp_settings.json
3. Add the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp",
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": [],
      "timeout": 60
    }
  }
}

4. Save the file. Cline will prompt with an Authenticate button. Click it to complete the OAuth flow.

Le Chat (Mistral)

1. Open chat.mistral.ai, expand Intelligence in the left sidebar, then select Connectors
2. Click + Add Connector and select the Custom MCP Connector tab
3. Enter a connector name (e.g. cabin) and the URL: https://withcabin.com/mcp
4. Click Connect, and you'll be redirected through the OAuth flow to grant Cabin access

OpenCode

Add the following to your OpenCode config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cabin": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://withcabin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OpenCode handles OAuth automatically. On first connection it opens your browser to authenticate. You can also trigger it manually with opencode mcp auth cabin.

Managing connected agents

Every agent you authorise appears in your dashboard under Settings → MCP, with the date it connected. Revoke one there and it loses access immediately, without affecting the others.

MCP doesn't use API keys. The REST API keys are a separate thing, for querying analytics over HTTP.
