Ask your coding agent to:

Get an API key. "Sign me up for Pinecone and get an API key." It signs up, verifies the email, creates the key, and stores it in your vault instead of the chat.
Sign in anywhere. It uses your Google or GitHub account on any site that offers it.
Buy things. "Order one Glow Serum from whitejade.xyz." You approve the purchase once, and Trusty Squire fills the card fields in its browser.
Call APIs with stored keys. The agent uses a saved key without ever seeing it.
Finish setup. OAuth apps, dashboards, and verification steps, end to end.

Install

npx -y @trusty-squire/mcp@latest connect

Sign in with Google or GitHub, and Trusty Squire adds itself to your coding agent. Restart the agent and ask for what you need.

To pick the agent yourself:

npx -y @trusty-squire/mcp@latest connect --target=codex

On Linux, connect registers and starts a systemd user service; on macOS, a launchd user agent. A working user service manager is required. MCP clients connect to that broker and report "broker not running" after bounded retries if it is stopped. Installer-written client entries use @trusty-squire/mcp@latest.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Goose, Cline, Continue, and Hermes.

CLI commands and options

Command or option	Purpose
`connect`	Set up this machine; the default when no command is given.
`settings`	Edit registry and email verification choices.
`logout [--account=<id>]`	Clear one local account session.
`help`, `--help`, `-h`	Show CLI help.
`--target <agent>`	Choose a coding agent for `connect` or `settings` instead of detecting one.
`--account <id>`	Select the local account session to clear with `logout`.
`--force-relogin[=google\|github]`	Reopen sign-in for the account or one provider.
`--skip-browser`	Hand off the sign-in URL to a separate browser for scripted setup.
`--json`	Stream machine-readable connect reports and skip setup prompts.

Value options accept both --flag value and --flag=value. Unknown options, missing values, and invalid values exit with a usage error. Set TRUSTY_SQUIRE_API_BASE to use a development API; use settings to change managed registry participation. Run npx -y @trusty-squire/mcp@latest --help for the full command reference. The interactive setup also offers an optional 2Captcha key, stored in your vault.
