IDE Setup

Each AI client has its own configuration file format. The MCP server URL is the same — https://app.vygl.io/mcp.

With an API key (editor clients)

Section titled “With an API key (editor clients)”

  1. Generate an API key in Settings → API Keys. Copy it (the prefix is vgl_).

  2. Add the MCP config to your client (pick your tool below).

  3. Start asking questions: “What are my top three risks?”, “Verify finding f-abc123”, “Show me unfixed criticals on the auth-service project.”

Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json at your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vygl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.vygl.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via the CLI:

Terminal window
claude mcp add-json vygl '{"type":"http","url":"https://app.vygl.io/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}}'

With OAuth (Claude Web & Claude Desktop)

Section titled “With OAuth (Claude Web & Claude Desktop)”

For browser-based Claude clients there’s no API key — sign in with your Vygl credentials (email/password or any SSO provider).

Claude Web

  1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Integrations.

  2. Click Add custom integration.

  3. Enter the URL:

    https://app.vygl.io/mcp

  4. Complete the Vygl sign-in popup when prompted.

Once connected, Vygl tools are available in every Claude conversation. The sign-in session lasts seven days; renew when prompted.
