Kiro

Use genart.dev with Kiro via native MCP

Kiro

Connect genart.dev to Kiro using its native MCP support.

Prerequisites

  • Kiro installed
  • An email address for authentication

Setup

1. Add the remote MCP server

Add the genart MCP server to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genart": {
      "url": "https://mcp.genart.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Kiro supports MCP servers natively — no bridge required.

2. Authenticate

On first tool use, the server will send a passcode to your email. Enter it when prompted.

3. Start creating

Create an SVG sketch of a generative pattern using recursive subdivision

Tips

  • All 33 MCP tools are available — see MCP Tools
  • The config file is at ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json (not the root ~/.kiro/ directory)

Desktop app auto-config

If you're using the Desktop App, it can configure Kiro automatically. The desktop app writes the genart entry to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json on startup and removes it on quit. See CLI Agent Integration for details.
