Go to Customize > Connectors, then click the + button to add a new connector.

2. Choose "Add custom connector"

Select "Add custom connector" from the dropdown menu.

3. Enter the Kyew URL

In the dialog, enter:

• Name: Kyew
• URL: https://mcp.kyew.ai/mcp

Then click Add.

4. Connected!

Kyew is now connected. Your AI has persistent memory, custom tools, and access to your services.

Verify

Start a new conversation and ask:

What Kyew tools are available?

You should see all available tools listed. You're connected.

ChatGPT

Kyew works with ChatGPT through the OpenAI Apps SDK.

Setup

1. Go to ChatGPT and open your app/GPT configuration
2. Add an MCP server with URL: https://mcp.kyew.ai/mcp
3. When prompted, sign in with Google

Verify

Ask ChatGPT:

What Kyew tools are available?

Alternative: Claude Code CLI

If you prefer the command line, you can add Kyew with a single command:

claude mcp add kyew --transport http --scope user https://mcp.kyew.ai/mcp

When prompted, click the authentication link to sign in with Google.

Authentication

Kyew uses Google OAuth for authentication. When you first connect:

1. A browser window opens with the Google sign-in page
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Grant access to Kyew
4. You're redirected back to your client with access granted

User-Scoped Data

All your data is private to your Google account:

Your Google Account
  Memories: Private, encrypted
  Skills: Private, encrypted
  Tools: Private, encrypted
  Connections: Private, encrypted

Other users cannot access your data. Each Google account gets completely isolated storage.

Cross-Device and Cross-Client Sync

Same Google account = same data everywhere:

Claude Desktop:  Sign in with you@gmail.com -> All data available
Claude Code:     Sign in with you@gmail.com -> Same data synced
ChatGPT:         Sign in with you@gmail.com -> Same data synced
