# Use Endstate with AI tools

> Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to the Endstate docs — search the API from your editor and install skills that scaffold Endstate integrations for you.

These docs are agent-ready. You can point your AI coding tool at them so it answers from the live API reference instead of guessing, and install skills that teach it to build Endstate integrations end to end.

There are two complementary pieces:

* **MCP server** — gives your AI tool *access* to this documentation (search and read any page).
* **Skills** — tell your AI tool *how* to use the API to build specific integrations.

Connecting the MCP server gives you both: it also exposes our skills as resources.

## Search the docs from your AI tool (MCP)

Endstate hosts a search MCP server at:

```
https://docs.endstate.io/mcp
```

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, Goose — can connect to it and search or read these docs while answering you. Add it with one command:

```bash theme={null}
npx add-mcp https://docs.endstate.io/mcp
```

Or use the **Copy page** menu at the top of any page on this site and choose **Copy MCP Server** to copy the server URL.

<Note>
  The server is read-only: it searches and retrieves public documentation. It
  never has access to your API keys or account.
</Note>

## Install Endstate skills

Skills teach an agent *how* to build a specific Endstate integration — the right endpoints, credential rules, and flow — so it can scaffold one for you. Install them into your AI tool with one command:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add https://docs.endstate.io
```

This installs every Endstate skill below; the command doesn't change as we add more. If you've already connected the MCP server above, your agent can also discover these skills automatically as MCP resources — no separate install needed.

### Available skills

| Skill               | What it builds                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `provision-catalog` | The setup side — create a collection, create a unit per item, and pair an NFC chip (real or test) to register products so they can be verified. |
| `verify-experience` | The runtime flow — capture an NFC chip tap on the frontend, verify it server-side, hand off the session token, and optionally claim ownership.  |

Then prompt your agent, for example:

```
Build a verify experience: when a user taps the chip on a product, show them
whether it's authentic. Use the Endstate verify skill.
```

## Copy a page into any AI tool

Every page has a **Copy page** button in the header, with a dropdown for more options. Use it to copy the page as Markdown, view the raw Markdown, or open the page directly in Claude or ChatGPT as context for a question.
