Getting started

You need a Tiny Command workspace and an MCP-compatible host (Claude Desktop or Cursor). The whole setup is three steps.

1
Generate a workspace API key

In the platform, open MCP keys and run the setup wizard. Pick a permission preset (the Standard preset lets your AI build, save, and operate everything), name the key, and generate it.

Your secret key is shown once, so copy it immediately. It looks like tcm_live_aB3xK9mPqRv7….

2
Add the config to your AI host

Paste this block into your host's MCP configuration, replacing the placeholder with your key.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinycommand": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tinycommand.com/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) uses the same shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinycommand": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tinycommand.com/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the host so it picks up the new server.

3
Run your first command

In your AI chat, try:

"Tell me about my Tiny Command workspace."

The host calls describe_my_workspace and returns your connected integrations, asset counts, and credit balance. From there, ask it to build something or operate your data.

Verify the connection

The wizard's Test connection button calls the server's health endpoint with your key. You can also check it directly:

curl https://mcp.tinycommand.com/v1/health

{ "status": "ok", "protocol_version": "2025-06-18", "build": "..." }
Tip

If your host shows the Tiny Command tools but calls fail with an auth error, regenerate the key; the secret is only shown once and a mistyped paste is the most common cause.
