Remote Connector (One-Click)

Connect to Dobby from Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code without installing anything locally. Uses OAuth 2.1 — just enter the server URL and log in.

Server URL

https://mcp.dobby-ai.com

How it works: Enter the URL above in your IDE's MCP connector settings. A browser window opens for OAuth login. Select your workspace, click "Allow", and 22+ tools are available instantly. No API keys needed.

Authentication

All MCP requests are authenticated via your Gateway API key. Three key tiers are available:

Prefix	Type	Rate Limit	Best For
gk_user_*	User	100 RPM	IDE / personal use
gk_svc_*	Service	500 RPM	Automated agents / CI
gk_tmp_*	Temporary	50 RPM	Testing / demos (auto-expire)

MCP tools require mcp:read and mcp:execute scopes. These are included by default when creating a key.

Security

Authenticated access — every MCP request validates your Gateway key with scope-level permissions

Full audit trail — every tool invocation is logged with actor, timestamp, and result

Regional data residency — your data stays in your selected region (Israel, EU, or US)

Kill-switch — organization admins can instantly block all MCP access via the kill-switch
