Make a key
1
Open Your own AI
In the app, open a project and go to Agents. The section Your own AI is on that page.
2
Name the key
Give it a name you’ll recognise, such as “Claude on my laptop”. Turn on Can act if the agent may do things for you. Without it, the key only reads.
3
Make it and copy it
Click Make a key. The key starts with
mk_ and shows only once: copy it, then click I’ve copied it.Connect your agent
The server is athttps://getmarsell.com/mcp. Put your key where mk_… is.
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Any MCP client
What your agent can do
When you have more than one project, the agent names the project it means; with one project it can leave it out.
Limits and safety
- A key acts as you. It uses the role of the person who made it, checked on every call. If that person leaves the organisation, their key stops working.
- Your plan applies. Work that costs tokens, such as
make_picturesandask_marsell, spends your Marsell plan’s tokens, the same as in the app. - Approvals still apply. An agent can answer a decision only when the key has Can act, and only with the options the decision offers.
- Rate limit. Up to 120 calls a minute per key.

Not the same as the docs’ search server
https://docs.getmarsell.com/mcp searches these docs and needs no key. It can’t see your projects. See Use these docs with AI.
