# Connect over MCP

Add the Miles server to Claude Code or Codex, approve it once in the browser, and call a wallet tool: three steps.

## Three steps

The server is `https://mcp.askmiles.ai/mcp`. It speaks streamable HTTP and authenticates with OAuth 2.1; a client that supports both connects with one command.

1. Add the server.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http Miles https://mcp.askmiles.ai/mcp
```

Codex:

```bash
codex mcp add Miles --url https://mcp.askmiles.ai/mcp
```

2. Approve it. The first call opens a browser tab on askmiles.ai. Sign in if you are not, read the list of what the app will be able to see, and approve. Read access is what you are approving; changes to your wallet are a separate toggle on that screen, off unless you turn it on.

3. Ask something that needs your wallet.

```text
Which of my cards should I use at Costco, and why?
```

A successful connection shows up two ways: the tool call names `Miles` (the alias you chose in step 1) and the answer cites your own cards. If the assistant says it has no wallet access, the approval did not complete; run the add command again and finish the browser step.

## What the agent gets

Forty-six tools over your cards, valuations, balances, credits, certificates, gift cards, elite status and watchlist, plus a guidance resource at `miles://guidance/working-with-miles` that tells the model how to read a capped or conditional rate. Miles returns data and arithmetic; the reasoning is the agent's. The full list, with every parameter, is under [MCP tools](https://askmiles.ai/docs/mcp/tools).

## Managing the connection

Every connected app is listed at [Settings → Connected AI Apps](https://askmiles.ai/settings#connected-ai-apps).

- **Pause** suspends every app at once. Tokens survive, every tool call is refused, and turning it back on resumes the apps without another approval.
- **Disconnect** revokes one app's tokens. That app has to be approved again to reconnect.

A personal API key is managed next door at [Settings → API keys](https://askmiles.ai/settings#api-keys), and the pause switch governs it too.

## Other clients

Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, OpenClaw and mcporter each have their own steps on [Connect](https://askmiles.ai/connect) and [OpenClaw](https://askmiles.ai/docs/agents/openclaw). The server URL is the same everywhere. An assistant that can read a URL can set itself up from [connect.txt](https://askmiles.ai/connect.txt).
