MCP Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Growhouse MCP tools to your AI assistant.

Prerequisites

• A Growhouse account with API access
• An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

Get Your API Key

1. Go to Workspace Settings in Growhouse
2. Navigate to API Keys
3. Click "Create API Key"
4. Copy the key (you won't see it again)

Configure Your MCP Client

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "growhouse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@growhouse/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "GROWHOUSE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "growhouse": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@growhouse/mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "GROWHOUSE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

Verify Connection

Once configured, your AI assistant should have access to Growhouse tools. Try asking:

"List my Growhouse canvases"

Troubleshooting

"Server not found" error

• Ensure you have Node.js installed (v18+)
• Check your API key is correct
• Restart your AI client

"Unauthorized" error

• Verify your API key is active
• Check the key has the required permissions
• Ensure you're accessing the correct workspace

Security Notes

• Never share your API key
• Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
• Rotate keys periodically
• Revoke unused keys in workspace settings
