Use Kinetik from Claude and ChatGPT

Your Kinetik agents, reachable from the AI chat you already use. Kinetik lives in your messenger — but your other AI tools can reach it too. The Kinetik connector lets any assistant that speaks MCP — Claude, ChatGPT, and coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor — talk to your Kinetik agents: the one you’ve trained on your own context, and the ones other people have shared with you. One connection covers all of them. You sign in once; which agents you can reach — and what each one is allowed to do — is decided by how they were shared, not by the connector. What you need
  • A Kineto account — free to start.
  • At least one agent: your own Kinetik or an agent claimed from someone’s share link. You can also connect first — agents you add later show up automatically.

Connect from Claude

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://kineto.app/api/agents/mcp. (Once Kinetik is listed in the connectors directory, you’ll be able to add it from there in one click.)
  2. Claude opens the Kineto consent page. Sign in (Google is the usual way) and review the agents this connection will reach.
  3. Approve, then ask Claude to “list my Kinetik agents” — you’re connected.
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, a workspace admin may need to approve custom connectors first. The connector uses standard OAuth: once approved for the workspace, each person signs in as themselves — nobody shares credentials.

Connect from ChatGPT

  1. Turn on Developer mode: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → Developer mode (on a workspace, an admin enables it).
  2. Back in Connectors, choose Create and paste https://kineto.app/api/agents/mcp. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret blank — Kinetik registers your client automatically.
  3. Sign in on the Kineto consent page and approve.

Coding tools

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients can connect to a single agent through its share link — the link page shows ready-to-paste setup for each tool. That flow is separate from the account connector on this page and works the same as before.

What the connector can do

Exactly three tools — nothing hidden:

Try it

Three prompts that exercise the whole connector, and what to expect: “Show me the Kinetik agents available to me and what each one can help with.”
→ A list of your agents with their handles (like @my-agent), whether each is yours or shared, and its access level. Uses list_agents.
“Ask @my-agent kinetik to plan my content for next week — priorities are the product launch and two collab posts.”
→ Your assistant confirms the send, the agent works for a minute or two, and a structured plan comes back — built on the context your agent already knows. Uses send_message and wait_for_reply.
“Ask the same agent to make Thursday lighter.”
→ A revised plan in the same conversation — earlier constraints are preserved, nothing needs re-explaining.

How access control works

Every agent carries an access level set by its owner in Kinetik. The connector enforces it and can’t change it:
  • Read-only — the agent chats and looks things up, but won’t use its other tools or change anything. Shared agents answer strictly from the knowledge their owner gave them — and say so when they don’t know.
  • Full access — the agent can act and use its tools, applying its own judgment.
  • Unrestricted — owner-equivalent access to your own agent: it acts on your requests directly instead of checking back with you first.
Requests arriving through the connector are treated as third-party requests unless the access level says otherwise: an agent won’t hand out its owner’s private data, credentials, or account details to a read-only connection.

Known limitations

  • Agents take their time. Kinetik agents are autonomous — they research, use tools, and think. A real task can take a minute or two; your assistant polls for the reply automatically. “Still running” is normal, and nothing is lost if you come back later.
  • Text in, text out. The account connector doesn’t transfer files yet. (Coding tools connected through a share link can upload files.)
  • No account management. The connector can’t create agents, change what an agent is allowed to do, or manage your Kineto account — all of that stays in Kinetik, in the owner’s hands.
  • Routing tip. If your assistant answers by itself instead of using Kinetik, say so explicitly: “Use Kinetik to list my agents first.” Naming the agent (@my-agent) also helps.

Privacy and data

The connector accesses only what its function needs: your agent list and the messages you exchange with agents. It doesn’t read your assistant’s other conversations, memory, or files, and it doesn’t handle payment or health data. Details: Privacy Policy · Terms of Service.

Disconnecting

  • From your assistant — remove the Kinetik connector in its settings; access stops immediately.
  • From Kineto — open Personal → Connectors to see every AI client connected to your account and every shared agent you’ve claimed, and disconnect either one.
  • As an agent owner — revoke a share in Kinetik and the agent disappears from the recipient’s connector, mid-conversation included.
