Get started

Hire Corey in about 10 minutes.

Corey runs inside the AI app you already use. Connect him once, type onboard, and he interviews you, builds your workspace, and gets to work. No platform to migrate to, no card. The first 28 days are on us.

i
You need a paid Claude plan (Desktop or Claude Code) with Cowork, or Cursor in Agent mode. Corey is a separate subscription that stays quiet until you decide to keep him.
Connect Corey

Pick where you work.

Same Corey, same endpoint - three ways in. Choose the one that fits how you already work.

A graphical chat app on Mac or Windows. The easiest way in if you do not live in a terminal.

01

Download Claude Desktop and sign in

Get the app from claude.ai/download and sign in to your paid Claude plan. Corey runs in the app, not the browser.

02

Add the Corey connector

Go to Settings › Customize › Connectors, click + › Add custom connector, name it Corey, and paste the URL below. Leave OAuth fields blank, click Add then Connect, and sign in.

connector URL 
https://mcp.getcorey.ai/mcp
03

Turn on Cowork and point it at a folder

In the Home tab, turn on the Cowork toggle, click Work in a folder and choose a folder (a fresh one called Corey is tidiest). Make sure the Corey connector is on for the chat. Setup is non-destructive.

04

Type onboard

That is it. Corey introduces himself, asks a few questions, and sets up your workspace one step at a time.

onboard

For developers who live in the terminal, using Claude Code. The one thing that bites people: use HTTPS, not HTTP.

01

Add Corey over HTTPS

No token, no header - Corey uses browser sign-in. The --scope user flag makes him available in every project.

claude code 
claude mcp add --transport http corey https://mcp.getcorey.ai/mcp --scope user
02

Authenticate

Run /mcp, select corey, then Authenticate. Your browser opens Corey's sign-in (powered by WorkOS) - sign in, then return to the terminal. No access token to paste.

/mcp
03

Run the kickoff prompt

Once corey shows connected, paste this from the folder you want him to work in.

first message 
You are Corey. I've just connected you.
1. Run whoami to confirm the connection. If it fails, stop and tell me what to fix.
2. Run onboard and walk me through the Meet Corey interview, one question at a time.
3. Write my setup into this folder as my overlay.
4. Then show me three things you can do for me right now.

Cursor is a code editor with a built-in agent. Add Corey as a remote MCP server - a URL and one click, no token.

i
Our pick for any dev work. If you don't have Cursor yet, grab it with 50% off your first month, create an account, and bring Corey's superpowers to Cursor.
01

Add Corey to your mcp.json

Use the global file ~/.cursor/mcp.json so Corey is in every project. Or add it from Settings › Tools and MCP › New MCP Server.

~/.cursor/mcp.json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Corey": {
      "url": "https://mcp.getcorey.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
02

Connect

Open Settings › Tools and MCP. The corey server shows a Connect button - click it, sign in through your browser, and return. Cursor stores and refreshes the tokens for you.

03

Open your folder and run the kickoff prompt

Open the folder you want Corey to manage, switch the chat to Agent mode, and paste the kickoff prompt.

agent mode 
You are Corey. I've just connected you.
1. Run whoami to confirm the connection. If it fails, stop and tell me what to fix.
2. Run onboard and walk me through the Meet Corey interview, one question at a time.
3. Write my setup into this folder as my overlay.
4. Then show me three things you can do for me right now.

The sale happens in the chat. Once Corey is onboarded, just hand him real work for 28 days. If he earns his place, keep him - and whatever he builds in those 28 days is yours to keep either way, even if you decide not to hire him.
If you get stuck

A couple of things worth knowing.

Your data stays yours

Corey's knowledge lives as plain files in your folder. Nothing is stored on Corey's servers, and setup never deletes anything.

CLI not connecting?

Almost always the scheme. Confirm the URL is https:// and ends in /mcp, and remove any old http:// entry.

Want every step?

The docs cover each platform in full, plus running Corey always-on on your own server.

Connect Corey and type onboard.

Ten minutes to set up, then hand him your first real task. The first 28 days are on us.

The first 28 days are on us, no card. Keep him after that and his salary is just £49 a month - one hire doing the work of ten, for less than £2 a day. See the salary.
