Setup

Install once on your device, then point any MCP client at the launcher. Config matches standard mcpServers JSON.

Runs on your machine

Self-hosted MCP under ~/.umzobo/connect-plus (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.umzobo\connect-plus). Your IDE starts it over stdio. Jobs hit UmZobo’s API with your key.

Install once (Node.js 20+):

Terminal (macOS)

curl -fsSL https://ai.umzobo.studio/downloads/connect-plus/install.sh | bash

Create an API key below and copy it.

Add this to your MCP config (uses $HOME):

mcpServers JSON

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "umzobo-connect-plus": {
      "command": "bash",
      "args": ["-lc", "exec \"$HOME/.umzobo/connect-plus/run.sh\""],
      "env": {
        "UMZOBO_API_URL": "https://ai.umzobo.studio/api",
        "UMZOBO_CONNECT_API_KEY": "sk_conn_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP client, then run connect_whoami.
