Connect your AI tool

Add Totem once to the AI tool that works on your game.

1. Create a key

Create a key in Totem Studio. Totem shows the key once, so copy it before leaving the page.

2. Complete the server config

This block is byte-identical to the landing page:

MCP JSON

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "totem": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.play.totemlabs.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOTEM_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_TOTEM_API_KEY with the key from Studio. The finished connection sends this header on every request:

Authorization: Bearer ttm_<your-key>

Keep the completed config private. Do not put the key in CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, your game archive, or Git.

3. Add it to your AI tool

Paste the completed JSON into your tool’s MCP settings. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and generic Streamable HTTP MCP clients all need the same server URL and bearer header.

4. Verify the connection

A working Totem connection exposes exactly these five tools:

create_game
request_upload
list_games
publish
get_analytics

It also exposes totem://limits, totem://allowed-extensions, and totem://build-guide. If the tool list is empty, check the URL and Authorization header first.
