# Setup

> Connect your AI assistant to Orion's remote MCP server

## Prerequisites

* An Orion account with login credentials

That's it. No installation required — Orion runs a remote MCP server that your AI assistant connects to directly.

## Server URL

```
https://g.runorion.com/mcp
```

## Connecting to Claude Code

Run the following command in your terminal:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add orion --transport http https://g.runorion.com/mcp
```

Then open Claude Code and authenticate:

1. Type `/mcp` in Claude Code
2. Select the **orion** server
3. Choose **Authenticate**
4. Sign in with your Orion credentials in the browser window that opens

## Connecting to Claude Desktop

1. Go to **Settings > Customize > Connectors**
2. Search for **Orion** in the Connectors search bar
3. Click to add the Orion connector
4. Authenticate with your Orion credentials when prompted

## Connecting to Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Go to **MCP Servers**
3. Click **Add Server**
4. Set **Type** to `http`
5. Set **URL** to `https://g.runorion.com/mcp`
6. Authenticate with your Orion credentials when prompted

## Verifying the Connection

Once connected, ask your AI assistant to list your Orion projects:

> "List my Orion projects"

If the connection is working, you should see a list of projects you have access to.

<Tip>
  The `ask_orion` tool is the primary way to run analyses. Orion's analyses take 1-2 minutes to complete, so your AI assistant will poll for results automatically.
