Get started in three steps

  1. Get API_KEY > 2. Connect MCP > 3. Use Tool

​
Step 1: Create your API Key

title
  1. Go to https://asimov.mov/settings/api
  2. Click “Generate” button
  3. Copy the Generated API Key

​
Step 2: Connect MCP Server

Choose your preferred AI coding assistant and follow the configuration steps:
  • Claude Code
  • Cursor
  • Windsurf
  • Codex
Add the following configuration to your ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asimov": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "asimov-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "API_URL": "https://asimov.mov" 
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace your-api-key-here with the API key you generated in Step 1.
After adding the configuration, restart your AI coding assistant to load the MCP server.

​
Step 3: Use Asimov MCP Tools

Once you’ve configured the MCP server and restarted your AI coding assistant, you can start using Asimov’s tools:
  1. Access the tools: The Asimov MCP tools will be automatically available in your assistant’s interface
  2. Available tools: You’ll have access to tools for:
    • Context Retrieval
    • Repository Map
    • Web Search
    • And more…
  3. Example usage: Simply ask your assistant to use Asimov tools: 
    "Use Asimov to give the file strcture of socketio github repo"
"Save the above conversation in your context."
The assistant will automatically detect and use the appropriate Asimov MCP tools based on your requests.
