# Setup

Connect the Fonciq AI connector in ChatGPT or Claude — directory, custom connector, OAuth at fonciq.ca, or API key for other MCP clients.

Use the **connector address** **`https://mcp.fonciq.ca/v1/`** (Streamable HTTP). The alias `https://mcp.fonciq.ca/v1/mcp` is equivalent.

**OAuth** is a secure sign-in at fonciq.ca — you authenticate once and authorize the assistant to use your wallet and Registre accounts.

## Prerequisites

- A **Fonciq Studio** account for your organization.
- At least one **Registre account** added under [Studio → Développeurs → Comptes Registre](https://fonciq.ca/studio/developpeurs#registre) before ordering an index, deed, or plan.
- Choose **Test mode** (`fq_test_…` key or OAuth connection in test) for training, or the **real wallet** for client matters.

## Claude

**Recommended:** open [Fonciq in the Claude directory](https://claude.ai/directory/fonciq) and add the connector. Sign in at **fonciq.ca** and consent to wallet and Registre account access.

Remote HTTP MCP server:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fonciq": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fonciq.ca/v1/"
    }
  }
}
```

Complete OAuth when offered, or add a test key in headers if your client supports it.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http fonciq https://mcp.fonciq.ca/v1/
```

</details>

## ChatGPT

**Available** via **custom connector** (public ChatGPT directory: coming soon).

1. Enable **developer mode** in ChatGPT.
2. Add a connector with URL `https://mcp.fonciq.ca/v1/`.
3. **Sign in to Fonciq via OAuth** at fonciq.ca when prompted and accept permissions (one secure sign-in step).

## Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients

Add a **remote HTTP** MCP server with the URL above.

- **OAuth** — when the client supports it (issuer `https://fonciq.ca`).
- **API key** — header `Authorization: Bearer fq_test_…` (test) or `fq_live_…` (real wallet) from the [developer dashboard](https://fonciq.ca/studio/developpeurs). Use only test keys in documentation and screenshots.

## After you connect

Ask a question in plain language (see [Sample questions](/en/examples)). In screenshots and shared threads, show only **test** keys or redact OAuth tokens. If an action is refused, see [Errors and authentication](/en/errors).
