Getting started
The five-minute path from creating an account to your first MCP tool call.
Getting started
Five steps, in order:
- Create an account — sign up at
dash.shebang.pro. - Projects — every account starts with a default project; make another if you need one.
- Your first key — mint a master key, or a scoped key for a sub-agent.
- Install the MCP server — add shebang to Claude Code, or any other stdio MCP harness.
- Device login — what actually
happens when the CLI's
logincommand asks you to approve it in a browser.
If you'd rather skip local installation entirely, see
hosted MCP — call
api.shebang.pro/mcp directly over HTTPS, with OAuth instead of a saved
key.
Once you're set up, concepts covers the vocabulary — projects, keys, public ids, access modes — that the rest of these docs assume you already know. Every step above works the same whether you're clicking around the dashboard by hand or scripting it against the API or the MCP server — the same account, the same key, and the same project model apply either way.
