Connect Vibecode to Your AI Tool (MCP)

Vibecode has an MCP server, so you can use it from the AI tools you already use. Connect it once, sign in to your Vibecode account, and ask your AI for an app. Vibecode’s agent builds the app, tests it, and saves it to your account. You can keep working on it in Vibecode on the web or in the Vibecode iPhone app. The server URL is:

https://api.vibecodeapp.com/mcp

What You Need

An AI app that supports MCP servers with sign-in. ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI all do.
A Vibecode account. You can create one on the sign-in page when you connect. New accounts that sign up with Google or Apple get their first app build free. After that, builds and changes use credits.

Connect Vibecode

ChatGPT and Claude

ChatGPT: open Vibecode in ChatGPT and connect it, then sign in to Vibecode.
Claude: open Customize, then Connectors, and add Vibecode. If it isn’t in the directory for you yet, add it as a custom connector with the server URL. Use Vibecode in Claude has every step.

Coding Tools and Other Apps

Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http -s user vibecode https://api.vibecodeapp.com/mcp

-s user makes Vibecode available in every folder, not just the current one.

In Claude Code, run /mcp, select vibecode, then select Authenticate. Your browser opens the Vibecode sign-in page. Sign in and select Allow.

Add the server

codex mcp add vibecode --url https://api.vibecodeapp.com/mcp

Codex opens the Vibecode sign-in page. Sign in and select Allow. To sign in again later, run codex mcp login vibecode.

Add the server

Open Add Vibecode to Cursor. Cursor opens and asks Install MCP server? Leave the client ID and secret empty, and select Install.

Vibecode shows Needs authentication. Select Authenticate, then sign in to Vibecode and select Allow. Vibecode then shows its tools as enabled.

To add it by hand instead, put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibecode": { "url": "https://api.vibecodeapp.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Add the server

gemini mcp add -s user --transport http vibecode https://api.vibecodeapp.com/mcp

-s user makes Vibecode available in every folder, not just the current one.

Gemini CLI doesn’t ask you to sign in on its own. Start it, run /mcp auth vibecode, and select Yes. Sign in to Vibecode and select Allow. /mcp list then shows Vibecode as Ready.

What Your AI Can Do

Ask in plain English, for example:

“Using Vibecode, build me an iPhone app to track my workouts, with a weekly summary.”
“Build me a web app to plan my meals for the week.”
“Show me my Vibecode apps.”
“Make the buttons in my workout app blue and add a rest timer.”
“Why did the last build of my habit tracker fail?”

A build usually takes about 10 minutes. Your AI can wait for it and tell you when the app is ready, with links to open it in Vibecode, see it on your phone in the Vibecode iPhone app, or publish it to the App Store. What Vibecode offers depends on the app. Other apps means Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and any other MCP app. They show no app card, so your AI gives you links instead.

	ChatGPT	Claude	Other apps
Build and change apps, follow builds	Yes	Yes	Yes
A live app card in the chat	Yes	Yes	No
See what the agent did, read the code and logs, restore an earlier version	Yes	No	Yes
Rename, copy or delete apps	Yes	No	Yes
Run commands in the app’s workspace	No	No	Yes

run_command runs a shell command in the app’s workspace, a Linux sandbox in the app’s folder, and returns the output. Use it to run tests, check versions or install a package. A command stops after 45 seconds.

Your Account and Your Data

Your AI only gets access after you sign in and select Allow. The sign-in page names the app asking for access.
It can see your Vibecode apps and their code. Your app’s keys stay hidden in files, logs and command output.
Builds and changes use your Vibecode credits, the same as building in Vibecode.
To learn what Vibecode receives and sends back, see Vibecode in ChatGPT and Claude in our Privacy Policy.

Disconnect

Remove the server in your app’s MCP or connector settings. In the command-line tools:

claude mcp remove vibecode -s user
codex mcp remove vibecode
gemini mcp remove -s user vibecode

Your apps stay in your Vibecode account.

Troubleshooting

The sign-in page doesn’t open. In Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth vibecode. In VS Code, select Allow, then Open. In Cursor, select Authenticate next to Vibecode. In Codex, run codex mcp login vibecode.
Claude Code shows two Vibecode servers. Connectors you add in Claude also appear in Claude Code, as claude.ai Vibecode, with Claude’s tools. The one you add with claude mcp add has all the tools in the table above.
A build doesn’t start. Your account may be out of credits. Your AI tells you why, and you can add credits or choose a plan in Vibecode.

Vibecode MCP or Vibecode CLI?

With the MCP, Vibecode’s agent writes the app and your AI directs it. With the Vibecode CLI, your own agent writes the code and uses Vibecode’s sandboxes, databases, sign-in and hosting to run and publish it. For help, visit Support.
