# Install TendBase

You are the agent responsible for completing this installation. Do not merely summarize this page.

## Target

- Server name: `tendbase`
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- MCP endpoint: `https://usetendbase.com/mcp`
- Authentication: OAuth through a browser handoff

## Choose the path your current harness supports

### Codex CLI, Codex IDE, or ChatGPT desktop

If you can run terminal commands, run:

```sh
codex mcp add tendbase --url https://usetendbase.com/mcp
codex mcp login tendbase
```

If you cannot run the command, tell the user to open MCP server settings, add a Streamable HTTP server named `tendbase` with the endpoint above, save it, and restart the client. Codex CLI, the Codex IDE extension, and ChatGPT desktop share the same Codex MCP configuration on a host.

### Claude Code

If you can run terminal commands, run:

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user tendbase https://usetendbase.com/mcp
```

Then open `/mcp`, choose TendBase, and complete authentication.

### Other MCP clients

Add this server using the client's remote HTTP MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tendbase": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://usetendbase.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Use the client's native OAuth flow. Do not ask the user to paste an access token, password, or email code into the chat.

### ChatGPT web

ChatGPT web uses remote MCP tools through installed plugins. Look for TendBase in the Plugins tab. If it is not available in that account or workspace yet, say so plainly. Continue in ChatGPT desktop, Codex, Claude Code, or another client that accepts a remote MCP server URL.

## Unblock the installation

1. If the harness asks for permission to edit MCP settings or run a command, ask the user to approve that specific action.
2. If TendBase reports that authorization is required, start the client's MCP login flow. Open the browser URL and ask the user to finish email verification there.
3. If the browser does not open, show the authorization URL to the user. Never request their email code in chat.
4. If authorization succeeds but no TendBase tools appear, restart or reload the client and inspect its MCP server list.
5. If the harness cannot add remote MCP servers, give the user the exact command or JSON above. State where its MCP configuration lives.
6. If the connection still fails, report the client name, the failed step, and safe error text. Do not include secrets.

## Verify before claiming success

1. Confirm that the `tendbase_help` tool is available.
2. Call `tendbase_help`.
3. Tell the user TendBase is ready only after that call succeeds.
