Recreated Codex conversation beside Doodi, based on a verified MCP run that created and rendered the editable Kivoa Coffee post.

## Connect a client on your Mac

Create a named connection in Account settings and copy its configuration into a compatible local MCP client.

-   Account → Agent connections
-   Doodi open and signed in on the same Mac

## Choose what it can do

Read access is required and write access is selected by default. Publishing and deletion have separate permission choices.

-   Read and write permissions
-   Separate publishing and deletion access

## Work with your designs

An authorized agent can read project facts, use templates, create or edit designs and render the saved result for inspection.

-   Projects, templates, artwork and assets
-   Rendering, export and version history

## Manage the connection

Review recent tool activity and remove access when it is no longer needed. Each connection belongs to the account that created it.

-   Named connections, expiry and revocation
-   Tool names, timestamps and outcomes

## How to use it in Doodi.

The steps to try it in your own workspace.

1.  ### Create a connection
    
    Open Account → Agent connections, name it and choose permissions and expiry.
    
2.  ### Configure your client
    
    Copy the server configuration into a compatible MCP client on the same Mac.
    
3.  ### Ask and inspect
    
    Give the agent a scoped task, inspect its saved renders and review activity in Doodi.
    

## Good to know.

Answers about ai agent connections before you start.

### Can a cloud chatbot connect directly?

The current endpoint is local to your Mac. Use a compatible client that can access it while Doodi is open and signed in.

### Can I restrict access to one project?

Current connections cover the projects in their owning account on that device. Project-level grants are not implemented.

### Can an agent publish by default?

Publishing and deletion require their own opt-in permissions. Grant only the access you intend to provide.

### Does a successful save prove the artwork is correct?

No. Have the agent render the saved revision so you can inspect the result. A successful publishing submission also needs its provider status checked.
