## Getting started from an AI agent

There are two ways to connect. Either works.

- MCP server: `https://mcp.rippit.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, OAuth). The person signs in or signs up in the browser that opens. No client ID, secret or API key is needed.
- CLI: install with `curl -fsSL https://rippit.sh | sh`, then get an account one of two ways:
  - `rippit login`: the person signs in or signs up in a browser.
  - `rippit start`: creates a temporary account with no email or browser, for a person with no Rippit account. `rippit claim --wait` lets them keep it; an unclaimed account is deleted after 14 days.

Then bring in data: connect a provider such as Zendesk, Intercom, Gong or Salesforce, or upload a CSV.
