ChatGPT
Kyew works with ChatGPT through the OpenAI Apps SDK.

Alternative: Claude Code CLI
If you prefer the command line, you can add Kyew with a single command:
claude mcp add kyew --transport http --scope user https://mcp.kyew.ai/mcp
When prompted, click the authentication link to sign in with Google.
Verify Connection

Authentication
Kyew uses Google OAuth for authentication. When you first connect:
- A browser window opens with the Google sign-in page
- Sign in with your Google account
- Grant access to Kyew
- You're redirected back to your client with access granted
User-Scoped Data
All your data is private to your Google account:
Your Google Account
Memories: Private, encrypted
Skills: Private, encrypted
Tools: Private, encrypted
Connections: Private, encrypted
Other users cannot access your data. Each Google account gets completely isolated storage.
Cross-Device and Cross-Client Sync
Same Google account = same data everywhere:
Claude Desktop: Sign in with [email protected] -> All data available
Claude Code: Sign in with [email protected] -> Same data synced
ChatGPT: Sign in with [email protected] -> Same data synced
