Connect

Chat apps sign you in with your Argil account. Coding agents take an API key, or sign you in when they can open a browser. Either way, the client works in one workspace: it uses that workspace’s models, library and credits.

Add Argil

In ChatGPT, turn on Developer mode in Settings → Plugins → Advanced, then Create a plugin:

Name: Argil
URL: https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp
Authentication: OAuth

ChatGPT opens Argil. Sign in, pick the workspace ChatGPT may use, and approve.

Ask

Mention Argil, or simply ask for an image or a video.

Add the connector

On claude.ai or in Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors and select Add custom connector:

Name: Argil
URL: https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp

On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds it once for the organization; members then connect it for themselves.

Select Connect. Claude opens Argil: sign in, pick the workspace Claude may use, and approve.

Turn it on in a chat

In a conversation, open the tools menu and make sure Argil is on. It then works on claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps.

Add the connector

Open grok.com/connectors, select New Connector, then Custom, and enter the URL https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp.On Grok Business and Enterprise, an admin adds it first in the xAI console; members then connect it for themselves.

Grok opens Argil: sign in, pick the workspace Grok may use, and approve.

Ask

Ask Grok for an image or a video, or mention Argil.

Add a custom app

On gemini.google.com, open Settings → Connected apps, select Add a custom app, and enter the URL https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp.Custom apps need a personal Google account, with Gemini’s activity setting turned on.

Gemini opens Argil: sign in, pick the workspace Gemini may use, and approve.

Ask

Ask Gemini for an image or a video, or mention Argil. Argil then also works in the Gemini mobile apps.

Your own files. Chat apps do not pass files attached to a message to Argil. Upload the file in your Argil library and say “use my latest upload”, or give a public link.

Coding agents

Create an API key in Workspace settings → API keys and export it:

export ARGIL_API_KEY="<your API key>"

Claude Code
Codex
Gemini CLI
Grok CLI
Other clients

claude mcp add --transport http argil https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $ARGIL_API_KEY"

Check it with /mcp: argil is listed as connected. Add --scope user to use it in every project.To sign in instead of using a key, leave out --header, then run /mcp, select argil and Authenticate.

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.argil]
url = "https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "ARGIL_API_KEY"

Check it with codex mcp list.

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "argil": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $ARGIL_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Check it with /mcp. Leave trust off: Argil spends credits, so let Gemini CLI ask before each call.

grok mcp add --transport http argil https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${ARGIL_API_KEY}'

The single quotes keep the variable in the config, so the key is never written to disk. Check it with grok mcp doctor argil.

Any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP works:

URL: https://mcp.argil.ai/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer <your API key>, or OAuth sign-in if the client supports it.

Your own files. Point the agent at a local file (“use ./assets/serum.png”) and it uploads it to your library. Approvals. Clients ask before a tool that creates or deletes something. To stop being asked while a video renders, allow the read tools, such as get_generation (in Claude Code: mcp__argil__get_generation).

Disconnect

ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → Argil → Disconnect.
Claude: Settings → Connectors → Argil → Disconnect.
Grok: remove Argil in grok.com/connectors.
Gemini: remove Argil in Settings → Connected apps.
Coding agents: remove the server (claude mcp remove argil, grok mcp remove argil…), and revoke the key in Workspace settings → API keys.

Leaving the workspace, or being removed from it, ends every connection at once.
