Connect an agent
Give your agent one address and sign in one time. The agent can then search your team's drives.
ByteRover runs an MCP server, so any agent that speaks MCP can connect with a single address. You sign in once in your browser and allow the agent, and from then on it can search every drive you have access to.
Connect
Copy the address
In ByteRover, select Connect your AI tools in the sidebar, then Copy URL. The address is:
https://mcp.byterover.ai/mcpGive the address to your agent
Ask your agent to set up ByteRover's MCP server with this URL, or add it yourself wherever your agent keeps its MCP servers or connectors.
Sign in and allow
Your browser opens a ByteRover page asking whether the agent may use your team. Sign in first if you're asked to. Under It will be able to, the page lists the permissions the agent asked for, which can be one or both of the two permissions. If the account shown isn't yours, select Not you? to sign in as someone else. Select Allow, and the page changes to You're connected.
If you're in more than one team, choose one under Which team, then select Allow for that team. An agent works in one team at a time; to use another, revoke it under AI tools and connect again.
Ask in a new conversation
Back in your agent, start a new conversation so it loads the ByteRover tools. Then ask a question that depends on your organization's documents. You don't need to name ByteRover; compatible agents decide from the meaning and conversation context:
Which policy section covers EU refunds?Agents that can connect
Any agent that speaks MCP connects with the same address, and you don't need a plugin or a setup file. The AI tools page names a few of them: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, Dot and Muse.
Client notes
Each agent keeps its MCP servers in its own place. These are the steps for some of them.
| Agent | Steps |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Run the command below in your terminal. Then type /mcp in Claude Code, choose byterover and sign in. |
| Claude (desktop app and claude.ai) | Open Claude connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it ByteRover and paste the address. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner may need to add the connector first. |
| Codex CLI and Codex Desktop | Run the command below in a terminal. It adds ByteRover and opens the sign-in. Codex Desktop uses the same settings, so restart it if it's open. |
| Cursor | Paste the address in Cursor's MCP settings, then start the sign-in from there. |
| Grok | Open Grok connectors, choose New connector, then Custom. Paste the address and connect. Start a new chat to try it. Sign in again only if Grok's connector settings show an error. |

No plugin or skill
The MCP address is the complete integration. ByteRover does not distribute a plugin or skill. The server and its tool descriptions tell compatible agents when to search organizational documents, when to read a selected result, when an explicit save of text may use write, and when an explicit whole-file upload may use upload.
What the agent gets
| Tool | What the agent does with it | Permission |
|---|---|---|
search | Finds passages in every drive you can use. | Search and read documents |
list | Shows your drives, or the folders and files in one folder of a drive. | Search and read documents |
read | Reads more of one file: a page, slide, sheet, section or range, or the original text of a text file. | Search and read documents |
write | Saves a text file from text in the call, as a new file or a new revision. | Add and update documents |
upload | Saves one whole file to a drive, as a new file or a new revision. | Add and update documents |
For inputs and outputs, see MCP tools.
The agent acts for you
The agent can reach exactly what you can reach. It can only write in drives where you're an Editor or an Admin, and it stays connected until you revoke it under AI tools. Permissions and sessions has the full rules.
