Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or VS Code to `https://mcp.rivet.dev/mcp`, approve the Rivet sign-in, and ask about your actors in plain language. + +## Supported Clients + +- Claude Code +- Codex +- Cursor +- Gemini CLI +- VS Code + +Setup steps for each client are in the [Rivet MCP documentation](/docs/mcp/). + +## What You Can Ask + +- **Find actors**: "Which chat rooms are still awake?" +- **Call actions**: "What has Acme been saying?" +- **Inspect actors**: "Open the Actor Inspector for chat-room ยท acme." The dashboard's actor view opens inside the conversation, with State, Connections, Queue, Workflow, and Database tabs. +- **Manage pools**: read and update the [Rivet Compute](/cloud/docs/compute/) deployment that hosts a namespace's actors. +- **Retrieve compute metrics**: check usage for a deployment. +- **List and retrieve images**: see the Docker images available to run. + +## Access + +Every call goes through Rivet with the access you approved at sign-in. Your credentials never reach the model. To limit a connection to one organization, project, or namespace, add `?organization=ORG&project=PROJECT&namespace=NS` to the endpoint. + +## More Links + +- [Rivet MCP documentation](/docs/mcp/) +- [GitHub](https://github.com/rivet-dev/rivet) +- [Discord](https://rivet.dev/discord)
