Five steps
- Sign up at https://swooshrank.com/signup.
- In the portal open Accounts, choose New connect link, and send the link to the person who owns the account. Or connect your own. They approve on the platform's own consent screen.
- In the portal open API keys, name the key after the machine that will use it, and choose Create key. Copy it now. It is shown once.
- Export the key and make a call (below).
- Add the MCP server to your AI client (below).
Your first call
export SWOOSHCONNECT_API_KEY="paste-your-key-here"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SWOOSHCONNECT_API_KEY" https://swooshrank.com/api/v1/connect/accountsA successful answer is JSON with a data object and a summary string. A wrong key answers 401.
Add the MCP server
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http swooshconnect https://swooshrank.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your key>"Cursor, in .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"swooshconnect": {
"url": "https://swooshrank.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your key>" }
}
}
}Codex, in ~/.codex/config.toml. Set SWOOSHCONNECT_API_KEY in your shell before you start Codex:
[mcp_servers.swooshconnect]
url = "https://swooshrank.com/api/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "SWOOSHCONNECT_API_KEY"Next
- Authentication: what a key can do and how to rotate it.
- Billing: what counts as a paid account.
- Limits: rate limits, body caps, errors and polling.
You pay for what you connect. Nothing else.
