# Use Bridge from your AI assistant with MCP

**In short:** Add Bridge's MCP server, `https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/mcp`, to your assistant. In Claude or ChatGPT you sign in and set a monthly naira cap; in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Codex you use a Bridge key. The assistant can then compare models, estimate a feature's cost, find a cheaper model that passes your examples and explain your spending.

## What your assistant can do with it

- Answer "which model should I use and what will it cost?" from the live price list, in naira.
- Run one prompt on several models and show answers, cost and speed side by side, with a judge's score.
- Estimate a feature's monthly cost before anyone builds it.
- Find the cheapest model that still passes your own examples, quoted first, and put it live under a stable name.
- Explain what you spent, what changed and why, and what to change.
- Make a capped key for another agent, and set your users' budgets.

## Connect it

1. Claude or ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the address `https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/mcp`, sign in to Bridge when asked, and choose the access, monthly cap and expiry.
2. Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http bridge https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $WEKOYA_API_KEY"`.
3. Cursor, VS Code or Cline: add the server with the same address and an `Authorization: Bearer` header, as in the [MCP docs](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs/mcp).
4. Codex: add `[mcp_servers.bridge]` with the address and `bearer_token_env_var = "WEKOYA_API_KEY"` to `~/.codex/config.toml`.

Then ask, for example: "Explain my AI spending this week" or "Find a cheaper model for our order extraction and show me the quote".

## Common questions

**Can an assistant spend my whole balance through MCP?**

No. A chat app gets its own key with the monthly cap you chose; a coding agent uses whatever key you give it, so give it one with a limit. Tools that spend refuse above their cost ceiling, and the cheaper-model search is quoted before it runs.

**How do I disconnect an app?**

Revoke its key under API keys in the console. It is named after the app, for example "MCP: Claude".
