# Other apps

> Connect Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client to Githome with the server URL and a browser sign-in, or with a token where sign-in isn't supported.

Source: https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/connect/other-apps

Any app that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP can connect to Githome. Apps that support MCP's OAuth sign-in need only the URL; the rest send a token.

```text
https://git.pkgforge.dev/mcp
```

## Cursor

Add Githome to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or to `.cursor/mcp.json` in a project to share it with everyone who opens the project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "githome": { "url": "https://git.pkgforge.dev/mcp" }
  }
}
```

Cursor lists the server in its MCP settings with a way to sign in; Githome's consent page opens in your browser.

To clone Githome repositories in Cursor, use the plain HTTPS clone URL of the repository. Githome ships no editor extension.

## VS Code

Add Githome to `.vscode/mcp.json` in a workspace (or run **MCP: Add Server** from the Command Palette and choose **HTTP**):

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "githome": { "type": "http", "url": "https://git.pkgforge.dev/mcp" }
  }
}
```

Start the server from the file or the MCP view, and sign in when VS Code asks.

To clone Githome repositories in VS Code, use **Git: Clone** with the repository's plain HTTPS clone URL, and run `githome auth setup-git` once so git pushes with your Githome sign-in. Githome ships no editor extension.

## Any other app

Look for "remote MCP server", "HTTP" or "Streamable HTTP" in the app's settings, and give it `https://git.pkgforge.dev/mcp`. If the app supports OAuth for MCP, it finds everything else on its own: Githome answers its first request with a `401` that points at the sign-in details, the app registers itself, and you approve it on the consent page. See [How sign-in works](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/connect/how-sign-in-works).

## Apps without OAuth sign-in

Send a Githome token in the `Authorization` header instead. Use an [agent](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/agents/overview)'s token (created under **Settings → Agents**) and keep it in an environment variable, never in a file you commit:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "githome": {
      "url": "https://git.pkgforge.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHOME_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}
```

`githome mcp-config` prints this snippet. Apps that can only start local (stdio) servers, such as those set up through Claude Desktop's configuration file, can reach Githome through a small bridge; [MCP server](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/agents/mcp#claude-desktop-and-other-clients-that-start-local-servers) has the setup for those and for many more clients.

## Check that it works

Ask the app "Who am I on Githome?". It calls the `whoami` tool and answers with the account it acts as. Apps that signed in also show under **Settings → Access tokens → Connected apps** on Githome.
