Getting started
Connect your Knack app to your AI in four steps: create an account, verify your app, add the connector, and ask your first question.
1 · Create your account
Sign up with your email address, then open the verification email we send you and click the link.
Every account gets 100 free credits each month.
2 · Register and verify your Knack app
Register the app by its App ID, then prove ownership by adding a token line to its custom JavaScript - or its App Description.
- Find your App ID in the Knack Builder under Settings → API & Code - it is a 24-character code.
- Sign in, open your Apps page, paste the App ID, and click Register.
- Your app appears with its verification token - a single line like:
// knav-verify-0123456789abcdef
Example only - your real token is shown on your Apps page. - Open your app in the Knack Builder → Settings → API & Code.
- Paste the token line into your JavaScript and save (recommended) - or paste it into your App Description under Settings.
- Back on your Apps page, click Verify.
Leave the token in place after verifying - it re-proves your ownership on an ongoing basis.
Knavigator MCP reads your app's structure (fields, views, objects, tasks). It never reads or stores your records.
3 · Connect your AI client
Knavigator MCP speaks MCP, an open standard, so it works with any MCP-capable client: claude.ai, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and more. This is your MCP endpoint - paste it wherever a client asks for a remote MCP or connector URL:
https://knav.avvera.ca/api/mcp
For example, in claude.ai:
- In claude.ai, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste your MCP endpoint URL and click Add.
- Click Connect on the connector's row - sign in to Knavigator MCP and approve access.
Authentication is OAuth - there are no keys to paste. Available on all Claude plans (the Free plan allows one custom connector).
Using Claude Code, Cursor, another MCP client, or an API key instead? Sign in and open Connect for client-specific steps.
Using ChatGPT? Custom MCP connectors need developer mode and a paid plan (Plus or higher) - see Connect for the steps.
4 · Ask your first question
Start a chat and ask about your verified app, using your own field and page names. Starting with "Use Knav" steers your AI straight to the connector. Three good first questions:
- "Use Knav and tell me where the Customer Email field is used in my app."
- "Use Knav and tell me which views let someone edit the Order Status field."
- "Use Knav and tell me which emails reference the Invoice Total field."
Answers reflect Builder changes within seconds - edit your app and ask again.
