Getting started
From a fresh account to an agent making its first call takes about five minutes.
1. Create your account
Register with an email address and a password of at least 12 characters, then confirm your email from the link we send. Once you are in, you can add a passkey or an authenticator app under your account settings for stronger sign-in.
2. Create a workspace
Everything in ToolGlue lives inside a workspace: connections, tools, API keys, run history, and the money balance. Your first workspace is created during sign-up, and new workspaces start with a $1.00 welcome balance so you can try things without entering a card. You can invite teammates later from Settings; roles are Owner, Admin, and Member.
3. Connect your agent over MCP
Your workspace has one MCP URL. On this deployment it is:
https://toolglue.dev/mcpThere are two ways to let an agent in:
- OAuth sign-in. Paste the MCP URL into a client such as claude.ai or Claude Desktop. The client registers itself, sends you to a sign-in and consent page, and you pick which workspace it may use. No key handling at all.
- API key. Mint a key on the Keys page and give it to the agent as a bearer header. Best for Claude Code, Cursor, scripts, and CI. See API keys.
4. Mint an API key
Open Keys in the app, choose a name, tick the scopes the agent needs, and
optionally set an expiry. The full key is shown exactly once, together with
copy-paste snippets for the claude CLI and an mcp.json block. Store it
somewhere safe; ToolGlue keeps only a hash.
5. Let the agent explore
A connected agent should start with the overview tool, which describes
the workspace, then list_connectors and connect to wire up
apps (the connect tool hands you a link to finish authentication in the browser),
and act to make calls. Your dashboard shows balance, recent runs, and
active builds as they happen.
