MCP for agents - Keystroke

The Keystroke MCP server lets you build agents, workflows, triggers, and integrations from any MCP-capable agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more. Connect once, and your agent can create projects, edit code in a hosted workspace, run it, and deploy it, without leaving the chat. It’s a single hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://api.keystroke.ai/v1/mcp

This page is about building Keystroke with an MCP client. It’s the reverse of giving your Keystroke agents tools from an external MCP server — for that, see MCP tools.

When to use MCP

Keystroke gives you two ways to build with AI:

	MCP server (this page)	Local CLI
Where you work	A chat-first agent (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor)	Your own editor (Cursor, Claude Code)
Where code lives	A hosted Keystroke workspace	Your machine
Setup	Connect a URL, sign in once	`npm i -g @keystrokehq/cli`, scaffold a project
Best for	Building from chat with no local setup	Full control of files, git, and your editor

Both build the same projects and deploy to the same platform — pick whichever fits how you like to work, or move between them.

Connect a client

Add the Keystroke MCP server to your client, then sign in. Authentication uses OAuth — there’s no API key to paste. The first time your client calls the server, it registers itself and opens a Keystroke login in your browser.

Cursor
Claude
ChatGPT
Other clients

Add Keystroke to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keystroke": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.keystroke.ai/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open Cursor Settings → MCP, then click Login next to the Keystroke server to complete the OAuth flow.

In Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector with the URL:

https://api.keystroke.ai/v1/mcp

Claude opens the Keystroke sign-in to authorize the connection.

In a Developer mode / connector-capable workspace, add a connector pointing at:

https://api.keystroke.ai/v1/mcp

Authorize it when prompted to complete sign-in.

Any MCP client that supports remote (Streamable HTTP) servers with OAuth can connect. Point it at:

https://api.keystroke.ai/v1/mcp

The server advertises its OAuth endpoints automatically, so most clients can self-register with no extra configuration.

Once connected, your agent receives Keystroke’s authoring guidance automatically and can start building.

The build loop

Building over MCP follows the same deploy-first loop as the CLI: create or open a project, edit code in its workspace, run it to check the output, then deploy. Your agent drives this with MCP tools — you just describe what you want.

Pick a project

The agent calls list_organizations and list_projects, or create_project to start fresh. A new project comes with a hosted workspace and the Keystroke CLI ready to go.

Build in the workspace

The agent reads and edits TypeScript under src/ with read_file, write_file, edit_file, list_files, and delete_file — authoring agents, workflows, triggers, and actions just like a local project.

Run and inspect

exec_command runs shell commands in the workspace — including the keystroke CLI, which is authenticated automatically. The agent runs workflows and agents and reads the real output before wiring up dependent steps.

Connect integrations

A workspace can’t open a browser, so when a build needs a connected app, the agent calls connect_app to get a link. You open it to authorize the integration in the web app. See connect and manage apps.

Deploy

deploy_project builds and ships the workspace to the platform, activating it in the cloud runtime — the same result as keystroke deploy. See deploy a project.

Tools

The server exposes two groups of tools.

Docs

Always available. These let your agent search and read the Keystroke documentation on demand — the same docs access the CLI exposes, served straight from the MCP server.

Tool	Description
`search_docs`	Broad or conceptual lookups; returns matching pages and their paths.
`query_docs`	Exact keyword/regex search and reading pages by path against the docs filesystem.

See docs for agents for how these work.

Projects and workspaces

Tools for building in a hosted workspace. Every tool is scoped to your account and the projects you can access.

Tool	Description
`list_organizations`	List organizations you belong to.
`list_projects`	List projects you can access in an organization.
`create_project`	Create a project, provision its workspace, and bootstrap the CLI.
`delete_project_workspace`	Tear down a project’s workspace (keeps the project record).
`read_file`	Read a file from the workspace.
`write_file`	Write a file in the workspace.
`edit_file`	Apply exact text replacements to a file.
`list_files`	List files in a workspace directory.
`delete_file`	Delete a file or directory.
`exec_command`	Run a shell command (the `keystroke` CLI is pre-authenticated).
`deploy_project`	Build and deploy the workspace to the platform.
`connect_app`	Get a web link to connect an integration to the project.
