Apender

Getting started

Configure MCP once. Only Apender API calls leave the network boundary.

Prerequisites

  • API key and API base URL from Dashboard → API keys.
  • MCP host with stdio server support (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.).
  • APD_* env vars in the host config; APD_WORKSPACE_ROOT set to the git repo root.

  1. Account & API key

    Sign up and open API keys. Create a key and copy the API base URL and apd_live_… secret once. Put both in MCP env vars, not in application source.

  2. Register MCP in the host

    Follow the guide for the MCP host. Use the server block from MCP → Configure (command, args, and APD_* env).

  3. Set workspace root

    APD_WORKSPACE_ROOT must match the git repo root — the same folder opened in the editor.

  4. Verify & build

    Restart the MCP host, confirm Apender tools appear, then describe a task in chat. Answer any clarifying questions in the same thread; let the agent implement from the plan.
