# Exist — how to use (mcp.ai)

Exist is a personal analytics app that combines data from various services to help users understand and improve their lives.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_exist?ms=1781541720000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `exist_exist_get_user_profile`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/exist`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/exist/_endpoints`
