Connect your assistant
Pick the connection path for your assistant, then finish at your first read-only account check.
Read this page if you want an assistant or app to use Envoy. It helps you pick one connection path. Connecting lets this assistant read your Envoy account and ask to buy. It does not approve a purchase. You approve card-backed purchases in the Envoy app. If Envoy offers a gift-card payment link, you pay it yourself.

Before you start, read before you start. Every path ends at first success, a read-only account check. To remove a connection, follow disconnect. For what has been checked on each host, see host compatibility evidence.
Choose your path
| I have... | Go to |
|---|---|
| An MCP host such as Claude, ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, Cursor or Grok | The host page below |
| An agent that drives a browser | The browser agent guide |
| Instinct or Meta Muse | The host notes below |
| My own app | The quickstarts |
Skills are separate from the connection. A skill teaches the assistant how to use Envoy and grants nothing. Read skills to install one.
The complete installation guide covers these MCP hosts. Each host page uses those same instructions.
Grok
Read Envoy in Grok, or use the agent Markdown.
Claude
Read Envoy in Claude, or use the agent Markdown.
These instructions cover claude.ai web, Desktop and Cowork connectors. Envoy completes their checkout and releases no card details or checkout codes. Claude Code and API clients with localhost callbacks use the default profile instead. For an application you configure yourself, follow the MCP quickstart.
ChatGPT
Read Envoy in ChatGPT, or use the agent Markdown.
ChatGPT Work
Read Envoy in ChatGPT Work, or use the agent Markdown.
Cursor
Read Envoy in Cursor, or use the agent Markdown.
Browser agents
An agent that can drive a browser uses the browser agent guide.
Instinct
Read the Instinct host notes.
Consumer Meta Muse
Read the Meta Muse host notes.
Custom applications
Start with the MCP quickstart or the HTTP quickstart. Then use the tool reference.
Recognize success
The assistant reads your account and the result shows no purchase was started. If it does not, see troubleshooting.
