How to let an AI agent work in your workspace via MCP with Salt

Point Claude, Cursor or another MCP client at /mcp so it edits pages and databases.

Short answer: Make sure the instance is running and note its base address, then append /mcp to it; then add that /mcp address as an MCP server in your client, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI; Authenticate the client with the access you want it to have. An agent's credential carries your person's access and never more. All steps.

Credentials. The MCP client holds a credential for your account, so treat its token as you would a password and only add clients you trust.

Who it is forA knowledge worker whose team already runs Salt and who wants an AI assistant to create and update pages and rows on their behalf.

The problemCopying content between an AI chat and the workspace by hand is slow and error prone.

The outcomeAn MCP client connected to your instance's /mcp endpoint that can create pages, add database rows and search, on your own access level.

What you need first

  • A Linux, macOS or Windows machine or server to run the binary, or a machine with Docker
  • A web browser to open the address the installer prints
  • An MCP-capable client such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI, if you want agents to work in the workspace
  • Files to import (Markdown, CSV or a Notion export), if you are migrating content

Steps

  1. Make sure the instance is running and note its base address, then append /mcp to it.
  2. Add that /mcp address as an MCP server in your client, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI.
  3. Authenticate the client with the access you want it to have. An agent's credential carries your person's access and never more.
  4. Ask the agent to create a page, then open the workspace to confirm it appears with the same history as your own edits.

Prompt for your agent

Using the salt.md repo at https://github.com/saltmd/salt.md, connect this MCP client to the /mcp endpoint of <instance-url>. Create a test page titled <page-title> and confirm it appears in the workspace and in the activity log.

Caveat. The README says agents cannot create or delete accounts, issue tokens, take backups, change instance settings or decide workspace membership, so do those steps yourself.

Use this in your AI agent

Ask your agent
