MCP overview

The Kudosky MCP connector brings KAIA into AI assistants that support MCP, the Model Context Protocol: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and others. Ask about your company and get admin work done right where you already work with AI.

“How did the sales team feel this month?” · “Who hasn’t received kudos in a while?” · “Send Jana kudos for the launch.”

The connector is part of KAIA Agent and is for company admins. It runs the same tools as the KAIA chat in Kudosky, under the same rules.

How it works

1. You add Kudosky to your AI tool with one address: https://kudosky.app/mcp.
2. You sign in to Kudosky, pick your company and choose what the AI tool may do: read only, or read + actions.
3. The AI tool sees Kudosky’s tools and calls them when you ask.
4. Every call runs as you, so it sees exactly what you see in Kudosky, and no more.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT

1. In Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop) or ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2. Paste the address:

   https://kudosky.app/mcp

3. Choose Connect. A Kudosky page opens: sign in, pick your company, and decide whether to allow actions.

4. Choose Allow. You are back in your AI tool, connected. No key to copy.

The connection shows up on Kudosky’s Integrations page under the name of your AI tool, where you can disconnect it at any time.

Connect Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Developer tools connect with a key instead:

1. In Kudosky, open Integrations → KAIA in your AI tools → Or use a key and choose Create key. Name it after the tool, for example Cursor.

2. Turn on Allow actions if the tool should be able to change things. Without it the key only reads.

3. Copy the key now. It starts with kdy_ and is shown only once.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http kudosky https://kudosky.app/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer kdy_…"

Cursor, VS Code and other clients: add an HTTP MCP server with an Authorization header, for example in Cursor’s mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kudosky": {
      "url": "https://kudosky.app/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer kdy_…" }
    }
  }
}

Read or act

Access	What the AI tool gets
Read only	Every read tool.
Read + actions	Read tools plus every action tool.

Caution

In the Kudosky chat every action waits for a confirmation card. Through MCP an action runs as soon as the AI tool calls it, so the AI tool asks you first. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor ask before running a tool unless you turned that off. Choose read only when you don’t need actions.

Who can connect

• Only company admins.
• Only companies with KAIA Agent. Without it the consent page and the Integrations card tell you so. Get in touch to add it.
