# Connect An Agent

Connect your AI agents to AgentPMT to enable tool and workflow execution. AgentPMT supports two primary connection methods: Model Context Protocol (MCP) for modern AI platforms, and REST API for custom integrations.

## MCP Integration

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standardized way for AI agents to discover and use tools from AgentPMT. This is the recommended method for connecting AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible platforms.

### 30 Second Setup

STDIO connector for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Zed, and other LLMs that require STDIO or custom connections.

```bash
npm install -g @agentpmt/mcp-router
agentpmt-setup
```

### Hosted Streamable HTTPS

MCP endpoint for browser-based apps like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or any time you want a streamable connection with no local install.

```text
https://api.agentpmt.com/mcp
```

### Config Example

Use the hosted endpoint directly in clients that support remote MCP. Store your Bearer token in the client config or secret field.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentpmt": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.agentpmt.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <AGENTPMT_BEARER_TOKEN>",
        "x-instance-metadata": "{\"client\":\"generic-mcp\",\"platform\":\"remote\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For platform-specific setup and the full connection guide, see [Connection](https://www.agentpmt.com/docs/mcp-reference/connection).

## RestAPI Integration

For custom integrations and advanced use cases, AgentPMT provides a REST API that gives you programmatic control over tool execution, workflow management, and agent interactions.

### API Overview

The REST API allows you to:

- **Execute tools** directly via HTTP requests
- **Manage workflows** and their execution
- **Handle authentication** programmatically
- **Monitor usage** and billing
- **Integrate with existing systems** using standard web protocols
