How do I connect my Golioth account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Golioth API Key. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start interacting with your projects.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I change device settings through the AI?

Yes. You can use the LightDB state capabilities to read or write data to specific paths on your devices.

Do I still need to use the Golioth Console?

While the console remains available, this MCP allows you to perform most management and control tasks directly through your AI agent.

Can I manage multiple projects?

Yes. The MCP includes capabilities to list all your projects and create new ones to keep your hardware organized.

How can I read the current sensor data from a specific device?

Use the get_lightdb_state capability by providing the Project ID, Device ID, and the specific path (e.g., 'sensor/temp'). The agent will return the current value stored in Golioth's LightDB.

Can I register a new device to my project using the AI?

Yes! Use the register_device action. You just need to provide the Project ID and a name for the new device. The agent will handle the registration and return the device details.

Is it possible to update device configurations remotely?

Absolutely. Use the set_lightdb_state capability to write JSON data to any path on the device. This is perfect for updating thresholds, toggling states, or sending commands to your hardware.

Connect Golioth to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Manage hardware fleets and device states through natural conversation.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Firmware Debugging

Quickly check if a sensor is reporting correctly by querying LightDB state.

Hardware Provisioning

Remote Configuration

Change device thresholds or LED states by updating LightDB paths via your agent.

Fleet Auditing

Get a quick overview of all active devices in a specific project.

Automate a task

Put Golioth to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Golioth works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Golioth to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 7 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Golioth, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Golioth. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
