# Integrations

Connect Probo to the client where you already work. Choose an integration
below based on whether you need a conversational assistant, a code editor, a
terminal workflow, or an application API.

Each guide covers the configuration format and credential method required by
that client.

:::note[Before you connect]
Claude integrations use interactive OAuth and open Probo in your browser for
authorization. Integrations configured with a bearer credential use a scoped
OAuth token created in Probo. Review [MCP
authentication](/docs/developers/api/mcp/authentication) before creating or
sharing credentials.

## AI assistants

Choose an interactive client for investigating compliance data, reviewing
records, and completing guided tasks through conversation.

- [Claude.ai](/docs/developers/api/mcp/claude-ai) — Use Probo in the Claude web application with interactive OAuth
- [Claude Desktop](/docs/developers/api/mcp/claude-desktop) — Use Probo from the macOS or Windows desktop application with interactive OAuth

## Code editors

Use a code-editor integration when Probo context should be available alongside
your repository and development workflow. These clients use a scoped OAuth
token in their MCP configuration.

- [Cursor](/docs/developers/api/mcp/cursor) — Add Probo as a remote server in a project or user mcp.json file
- [Visual Studio Code](/docs/developers/api/mcp/vscode) — Connect GitHub Copilot agent mode with native MCP support
- [Windsurf](/docs/developers/api/mcp/windsurf) — Make Probo tools available to Cascade through a remote MCP server
- [Zed](/docs/developers/api/mcp/zed) — Connect Probo as a context server in the Zed editor

## Terminal clients

Choose a terminal client for command-line investigation, scripted development
tasks, or workflows that do not require a graphical interface.

- [Claude Code](/docs/developers/api/mcp/claude-code) — Connect the Claude Code CLI with interactive OAuth
- [OpenCode](/docs/developers/api/mcp/opencode) — Add Probo to an OpenCode configuration with a scoped OAuth token

## Application APIs

Use an application API when you need a repeatable workflow, control over the
available tools, or integration with your own product.

- [OpenAI Responses API](/docs/developers/api/mcp/openai) — Expose selected Probo tools to an application using the OpenAI SDK

## Connect safely

Whichever client you choose:

1. Connect to the MCP endpoint for the Probo deployment that contains your
   data.
2. Grant only the scopes needed for the intended workflow.
3. Use a separate credential for every client or environment when interactive
   OAuth is unavailable.
4. Start with a read-only request and review tool arguments before approving a
   write.

If a client cannot connect, review [authentication
errors](/docs/developers/api/mcp/authentication#authentication-errors) or test
the endpoint with [MCP
Inspector](/docs/developers/api/mcp/overview#explore-with-mcp-inspector).
