STEP BY STEP

Connect an
MCP Client

Let an outside AI tool read, write, and queue work in Pachinko.

BEFORE YOU START

Know What You Are Exposing

MCP lets compatible AI clients work with visible Pachinko data. Before you connect, hide any project that should stay out of automatic AI browsing.

  • enableSettings > AI > Enable MCP
  • clientsClaude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools.
  • privacyUse Hide from AI on projects that should not be browsed automatically.

    • Hidden projects are skipped in normal lists and scans. If you deliberately select hidden notes as context or give a client specific note or section IDs, Pachinko treats that as permission to use those items for that request.
