Common questions

Is Kin safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.9.1) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Kin

Kin lets your AI apps use your accounts, even two of one service, each with its own rules. Connect a work GitHub and a personal GitHub, a work Notion and a personal one. For each account and action, choose Allow, Ask me or Block. Kin checks the rule on its server when the action runs, in every AI app you connect.

This repository holds no server code. Kin runs as a hosted MCP server at https://app.kinlab.ai/mcp. What's here is the setup that points each AI app at that address, two skills that teach the app how to use Kin's tools, and an optional Claude Code hook. You need a Kin account, free at kinlab.ai, and an account at each service you connect.

Install

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add kinlab-ai/kin-plugin

claude plugin install kin@kin

Then run /mcp, choose kin and sign in. To send Claude Code's permission prompts to Kin as well, add claude plugin install kin-approvals@kin (see below).

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add kinlab-ai/kin-plugin

codex plugin add kin@kin

Gemini CLI:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/kinlab-ai/kin-plugin

Antigravity:

git clone https://github.com/kinlab-ai/kin-plugin

agy plugin install kin-plugin/antigravity

Then select Authenticate next to kin_kin in Agent settings, Customizations.

Cursor, VS Code, LM Studio and Kiro: open the link for your app, then sign in.

Add to Cursor · Add to VS Code · Add to LM Studio · Add to Kiro

Claude, ChatGPT, Zed, Raycast, Warp and other AI apps: add https://app.kinlab.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server and sign in. The setup guide for each app has the steps.

What's in it

File	What it does
`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`	The Claude Code plugin `kin` and this repository's plugin list
`.mcp.json`	Kin's address for Claude Code: `https://app.kinlab.ai/mcp`, signed in with OAuth
`plugin.json`, `mcp.json`, `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`	The same plugin and address for Codex
`gemini-extension.json`, `GEMINI.md`	The same address and a short note for Gemini CLI
`antigravity/`	The same plugin for Antigravity, with its own manifest and copies of the skills
`server.json`	Kin's entry for the MCP Registry
`skills/kin`	How to call Kin's tools (search, describe, read, execute, feedback) and read their answers
`skills/kin-accounts`	How to work with several accounts of one service
`approvals/`	The optional `kin-approvals` plugin for Claude Code, below
`assets/`	Kin's icon

None of these files hold a key or a password. Each app signs you in to Kin through Kin's own sign-in page.

The optional approvals hook

kin-approvals adds one Claude Code hook. When Claude Code is about to ask your permission for a tool, the hook runs approvals/scripts/kin-permission.sh, which hands the request to Kin's own permission hook on this computer. That hook comes with the Kin app on a Mac or with kin-bridge on Windows and Linux. It sends the request to your Kin account, so you can answer it on your phone or in Kin, and passes your answer back to Claude Code.

The script does nothing, and Claude Code asks you as usual, when the Kin app and kin-bridge aren't installed, or when Kin's hook is already in your Claude Code settings. It downloads and installs nothing, reads no credentials, and sends nothing on its own. Claude Code's deny and ask rules still apply.

What Kin receives

When an AI app uses Kin, Kin receives the calls it makes: the action, its arguments and the reason the app gives. With the approvals hook, Kin also receives the permission request Claude Code would have shown you. Kin keeps these in your activity log. See Kin's privacy policy.
