# Connect over MCP

> The hosted connector: one URL, OAuth, done.

AskEditor's MCP connector is hosted at **`https://mcp.askeditor.com`**
(Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1). It is the only supported MCP route: there is
no npm package to install.

**You don't need an API key.** An unauthenticated request to the server
returns `401` with an RFC 9728 `WWW-Authenticate` challenge, so a compliant
MCP client discovers the OAuth flow and runs it automatically: you authorize
in a browser window, approve the scopes, and the agent acts as you, on your
credits. Clients register themselves via Dynamic Client Registration; PKCE
(S256) and refresh tokens are supported.

Once authorized, the agent can list templates, estimate, upload material,
run jobs, and fetch results: see [Tools](/docs/mcp/tools).

**Troubleshooting**: if the connector won't connect, re-authorize from your
client's connector settings; tool lists are cached by some clients, so
reconnect after we announce new tools.
