# Set someone up with Rippit

> How an AI agent connects to Rippit, gets a person an account and brings in their data.

Canonical: https://www.rippit.com/setup.md

## 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.

## Connect over MCP

- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http rippit https://mcp.rippit.com/mcp`
- Gemini CLI: `gemini mcp add --transport http rippit https://mcp.rippit.com/mcp`
- Codex, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT and others: https://docs.rippit.com/supported-clients.md
- Any other MCP client: https://docs.rippit.com/clients/other.md

Server card: https://www.rippit.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json

## Bring in data

- Over MCP: https://docs.rippit.com/mcp-server/connect-data.md
- CLI, a provider: `rippit integrations connect <provider>`, then `rippit integrations import <provider>`
- CLI, a CSV: `rippit data create-worksheet --from-file <file>`

`list_data_sources` and `list_worksheets` (MCP) or `rippit data list` (CLI) show what is there.
