:::note
These steps follow the client's own MCP documentation, linked in Sources below. looot has not tested them in this client yet. If a step fails, tell us on the [support page](/support).

Bolt (bolt.new) is a browser app builder. Its Connectors page takes a custom MCP server, and Bolt discovers new tools when the server adds them.

Before you start you need a looot account. The runs you make spend the organization's balance, so
top up before your first paid run. See [Before your first run](/money#before-your-first-run).

## Steps

1. Open the **Connectors (MCP)** page and click **Custom MCP server**.
2. Set **Name** to `looot` and **URL** to `https://api.looot.ai/mcp`.
3. Leave **Transport type** on **HTTP**. Use SSE only if a server's docs say so; looot does not need it.
4. Set **Authentication** to **MCP OAuth**.
5. Click **Connect** and finish the sign-in.

The server URL is `https://api.looot.ai/mcp`.

## Sign-in

Browser sign-in works. The client opens looot.ai, you pick the organization to bill and click **Connect**. No token to copy. The other choice, **API key**, takes an agent token from [Settings](https://looot.ai/settings); prefer OAuth.

## Check it works

Ask Bolt to call [`balance`](/mcp-tools/balance) or [`catalog_overview`](/mcp-tools/catalog-overview). Both are free. A working connection answers
with your available balance, or the catalog's categories and job counts.

## A first prompt to try

```text
Ask looot for my balance, then search its catalog for a tool that finds a work email from a name and company domain, and show me the price before running anything.
```

## Troubleshooting

- Pick **MCP OAuth**, not **API key**, or the sign-in never starts.
- Check the URL ends in `/mcp`.
- If tools do not show up, disconnect and connect again.
- Still stuck: see [Troubleshooting](/connect/troubleshooting).

## What you see when you connect

If the client uses browser sign-in, it opens looot.ai and shows the consent page: which organization to bill,
which scopes to grant and how long to stay connected. See [The consent page](/connect#the-consent-page).
