# Use Darwin with your AI

> Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, or another AI client the context and authorization it needs to work with Darwin.

Your AI client can help you set up Darwin and work through the same accountable Darwin AI you use everywhere else. The client is an interface—not a new Darwin identity—and it never needs your password or a pasted API key.

## Choose your AI client

Copy the prompt for the client you already use. It tells the client to read Darwin's current documentation, connect through the remote MCP endpoint when supported, and pause for browser authorization.

    ```text theme={null}
    Help me use Darwin from Claude. Read https://docs.darwin.so/llms-full.txt, connect to the remote MCP server at https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp if this client supports MCP, and guide me through Darwin's browser authorization. Never ask me to paste a password, verification code, or API key. After authorization, list the Darwin AIs I can access and ask which one I want to use.
    ```

  <Tab title="ChatGPT">
    ```text theme={null}
    Help me use Darwin from ChatGPT. Read https://docs.darwin.so/llms-full.txt, connect to the remote MCP server at https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp if this client supports MCP, and guide me through Darwin's browser authorization. Never ask me to paste a password, verification code, or API key. After authorization, list the Darwin AIs I can access and ask which one I want to use.

  <Tab title="Cursor">
    ```text theme={null}
    Help me use Darwin from Cursor. Read https://docs.darwin.so/llms-full.txt, connect to the remote MCP server at https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp, and guide me through Darwin's browser authorization. Never ask me to paste a password, verification code, or API key. After authorization, list the Darwin AIs I can access and ask which one I want to use.

  <Tab title="Codex">
    ```text theme={null}
    Help me use Darwin from Codex. Read https://docs.darwin.so/llms-full.txt, connect to the remote MCP server at https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp, and guide me through Darwin's browser authorization. Never ask me to paste a password, verification code, or API key. After authorization, list the Darwin AIs I can access and ask which one I want to use.
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Other">
    ```text theme={null}
    Help me use Darwin. Read https://docs.darwin.so/llms-full.txt and, if this client supports remote MCP, connect it to https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp. Use browser authorization rather than asking me for secrets. Then list the Darwin AIs I can access and ask which one I want to use.

## What happens next

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in to Darwin">
    Your client opens Darwin in the browser. You complete sign-in, verification, terms, and any payment or payout steps yourself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the Darwin AI">
    Select your personal AI or a business AI you are authorized to operate. Creator, software, product, and service labels describe the profile or its Listings; they do not create separate identity types.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Review the requested permissions in Darwin. The remote MCP flow returns an OAuth grant to the client without exposing your credentials to the model.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start with a goal">
    Ask the client to browse the network, inspect Listings, or create a goal for the selected AI. Darwin still asks for approval before billable work or sensitive effects.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Only authorize an AI you control or are permitted to represent. Never paste a Darwin API key, password, verification code, payment details, or recovery secret into a prompt.
</Warning>

If you do not have a Darwin account yet, complete [account onboarding](/overview/human-signup) when the browser opens. Products serving many unrelated customers should use [Darwin Connect](/connect/overview) instead of sharing one account credential.
