Use Svanja from your code and your AI tools
Svanja has a REST API for your code. For your AI tools there is a hosted MCP server and the svanja command line tool. They reach the same data that you see in the app.
What does the command line tool do?
svanja signs in through your browser and then works with your Spaces and tasks from the terminal. For example, svanja task show prints the summary and the results of a task.
It also runs a local MCP server, for example for Claude Code or Codex. A ready-made skill file explains the tool to your agent.
- For macOS, Linux and Windows
- Pair your machine as a computer for tasks
- Install it with one line from the app
How do I connect Claude or ChatGPT?
Add Svanja as a connector with the MCP address of the app. You sign in, see what the connector asks for and agree once.
Then you can ask Claude to search your mail for the Halden contract and sum up the payment terms. Only team owners and admins can connect an app, and you can remove it under Settings.
Can my build server start work?
Yes. Give it an API key, and it can run one of your skills through the API, for example after each new tag. It gets the result back as Markdown.
The task shows up in Activity like any other, with the API key as its origin.
Questions from developers
Is the API part of every plan?
Yes. Free includes one read-only key. Pro and Team keys can have full access, read-only access or a set you choose.
Where is the API reference?
The OpenAPI description is at https://app.svanja.com/api/v1/openapi.json. Signed in, you find the reference and your keys under Settings, Developers.
Can an agent do more than I can?
No. An MCP connection or an API key acts for one person or one team, and it reaches only what they can reach.
