Quickstart

Codemind connects to the AI coding tool you already use over MCP. Here's the fastest path to your first verified component.

1. Get an API key

Contact us to provision a paid account, or have your AI agent call the create_free_account MCP tool directly for a free sandbox key (100 verified issues/mo, no signup form).

2. Add Codemind to your MCP config

Point your client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) at the remote endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codemind": {
      "url": "https://api.codemindhq.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

3. Generate your first component

Mid-session, ask your AI coding tool to delegate a feature to Codemind. It calls build_feature with a story title, acceptance criteria, and a stack type (worker, python, go, swift-ios, or kotlin-android), then streams progress until the result clears Codemind's QA verification ladder.

Building an autonomous agent instead?

If you're integrating an AI agent that should self-onboard and drive Codemind without a human configuring API keys, use the Codemind Agent Skill instead of this guide — it documents the full tool contract for that case.
