Quickstart

import { Steps, Tabs, TabItem } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’;

This guide gets you from zero to a connected agent in about five minutes. You’ll sign up, install the extension, save your first document, and wire Kiomon into your AI coding assistant.

1. Create your account

Section titled “1. Create your account”

Open the Kiomon dashboard and sign up with Google or GitHub.

Every new account starts with a 14-day Pro trial — no card required. You get full Pro features (auto-linking, unlimited connectors) and fall back to Free automatically when the trial ends.

1. Go to **app.kiomon.com** and sign in. 2. Kiomon creates a default workspace for you (you can rename or add more later — Free accounts get 2, Pro gets 20). 3. That's it. Your library is empty and ready.

2. Install the browser extension

Section titled “2. Install the browser extension”

The extension is how you save pages and highlights while you browse.

1. Open **Cursor Settings** (⌘+, on Mac / Ctrl+, on Windows) → **Features** tab.
2. Scroll to **MCP** and click **+ Add New MCP Server**.
3. Set:
  - **Name:** `kiomon`
  - **Type:** `url`
  - **URL:** `https://mcp.kiomon.com/mcp`
  - **Headers:** `Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>`
4. Restart Cursor (or toggle the server) and check that the Kiomon tools appear.


</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Claude Code">


```bash
claude mcp add kiomon --transport http https://mcp.kiomon.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"
```


</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Claude Desktop">


Claude Desktop uses a **custom connector** rather than a config file, so there is no key to
paste. Open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector** and set the URL to:


```
https://mcp.kiomon.com/mcp
```


Approve the Kiomon consent screen, choose your workspaces, and allow. The same connector
covers claude.ai and the Claude mobile apps. See the
[Claude Desktop guide](/integrations/claude).

Any other remote-capable MCP client takes the same two inputs — the endpoint and your key:

{
  "url": "https://mcp.kiomon.com/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>" }
}

6. Ask your agent

Section titled “6. Ask your agent”

With the MCP server connected, your agent can query your library. Try:

“Search my Kiomon library for what I saved about Cloudflare Workers and summarize the key points.”

Or after a focused reading session:

“Based on the Stripe docs I just saved, how would I create a checkout session?”

Anything your agent decides is worth remembering can be drafted as a memory — through Kiomon’s autonomous write gate, high-confidence reflections (confidence >= 0.75) auto-activate immediately, while lower-confidence items land in your dashboard Review Inbox for approval (or switch your workspace to review mode to require manual approval for everything).
