Corcava MCP Quickstart: 5-Minute Setup and First Automated Workflow

Get your AI assistant connected to Corcava in 5 minutes. This quickstart covers the essentials: API key, configuration, verification, and three starter prompts to get you working immediately.

Step 1: Get Your API Key (1 minute)

  1. Log in to Corcava
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations
  3. Find the Public API section
  4. Click Add API Key
  5. Copy the key immediately (it's only shown once)

💡 Tip

Name your key descriptively (e.g., "Claude Desktop - MacBook") so you can manage multiple keys easily.

Step 2: Add MCP Server to Your Client (2 minutes)

Choose your AI assistant for specific instructions:

Universal Configuration

All clients need these settings:

Endpoint URL:

https://app.corcava.com/mcp

Authorization Header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Important: Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you copied in Step 1.

For detailed, client-specific instructions, see our universal connection guide.

Step 3: Restart and Verify (1 minute)

  1. Save your configuration file (if editing a file)
  2. Completely restart your AI client (required for changes to take effect)
  3. Wait for the client to initialize

Verify Tools Are Available

Ask your AI assistant:

"What MCP tools are available from Corcava?"

You should see tools like list_tasks, create_task, start_time_tracking, etc.

Step 4: Try Three Starter Prompts (1 minute)

Now that everything is connected, try these prompts:

1. Weekly Plan

Prompt:

"What tasks are due this week in Corcava? Show me what's due, what's blocked, and what I should prioritize."

What happens: AI lists your tasks, identifies blockers, and suggests priorities.

2. Create Follow-Up Task

Prompt:

"Create a task to follow up with Acme Corp next week. Show me what you'll create before creating it."

What happens: AI shows you the task details, asks for confirmation, then creates it.

3. Start Time Tracking

Prompt:

"Start tracking time on the [task name] task"

What happens: AI finds the task and starts a timer in Corcava.

Troubleshooting

If something doesn't work:

Tools Not Showing Up?

  • Did you fully restart the client? (not just save the file)
  • Check your API key is correct
  • Verify the endpoint URL is exactly: https://app.corcava.com/mcp
