Connect your agent

Think of Nirvai as a pair of hands your favourite AI assistant doesn't have yet. You already chat with a coding or writing assistant — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini — and it's great at thinking. What it can't do is remember across chats, keep your data in one place, run your real tools, or build something that outlives the conversation. Connect your agent gives it all of that: one connection, and your assistant can use everything in your Nirvai account.

How it works

Your assistant keeps doing the thinking. Nirvai does the doing and the remembering — every action runs safely in your Nirvai account, never on your assistant's side. The two talk over a common standard (MCP, the "Model Context Protocol" — a shared plug every modern AI assistant understands), so the same connection works no matter which assistant you use.

Shared memory

Your assistant remembers people, decisions and facts across every chat — not just the current one.

Your real tools & data

Databases, hundreds of pre-built connections, and your own tools — reused, never re-pasted.

Agents & live apps

Build, run and edit Nirvai agents and interactive dashboards straight from your assistant.

Step 1 — Mint a connection token

A connection token is like a key card for a trusted colleague: a private code that lets your assistant act in your Nirvai account (within the permissions you choose), and nothing else. You create it once in Settings → Connections:

Create token

Pick a name so you recognise it later, the provider (your assistant — this tags every action in the feed), and the scopes — what it may do. Full access is recommended; read + run never need confirmation, while write + create let the agent change and build things. Copy the token now — it's shown once.

Treat it like a password

Anyone with the token can act in your account within the scopes you gave it. Don't paste it into a public chat or commit it to a repo. Lost or shared it? Revoke it on the same page and mint a new one.

Step 2 — Add Nirvai to your assistant

Run one command with your token. The exact command per client — Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client — is on the next page.

What happens next: it proposes, you approve

Your assistant never changes anything behind your back. It works in its own chat, and when it's ready it hands you a bookmark into Nirvai — a review page with the details and a single Create button. You get a preview of what it built before you save a thing. It's the same flow whether it's a live app, an agent, a tool or a login:

Secrets are always typed by you, on Nirvai's secure page — never through the assistant. Nothing is saved until you click Create.
