# Quickstart: Get answers in 1 min

> Set up MCP and ask your first marketing question.

Start here if you want answers from OpenRush inside an AI agent.

You can use the API directly later. You do not need to start there.

Connect OpenRush to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or any tool that supports MCP.

The connection uses MCP, an open standard that lets AI tools use outside data.

## Prerequisites

You need three things:

* An OpenRush account
* Access to [www.openrush.com/login](https://www.openrush.com/login)
* An AI assistant that supports connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex

## Set up MCP

**1. Open the Dashboard**

Go to [www.openrush.com/login](https://www.openrush.com/login) and sign in.

**2. Open Setup**

In the Dashboard, open [Setup](https://www.openrush.com/dashboard/connect).

This page shows the MCP URL and setup instructions for supported clients.

**3. Connect your AI client**

Follow the instructions for your client.

For Claude or ChatGPT, add OpenRush as a custom connector: paste the link from Setup, and you are done. Developer tools like Codex use a short command instead — Setup shows the exact one to run.

**4. Approve access**

Complete the browser sign-in and approve OpenRush access when your AI client asks.

**5. Ask your first question**

Try a plain-English question:

> Analyze `stripe.com`. Who are its organic competitors, what keywords matter, and what should I look at next?

## What happens after setup

After setup, your agent can call OpenRush when it needs marketing data.

1
You ask a normal question

2
Your agent calls OpenRush

3
You get a useful answer

## Good first questions

Use normal language. Your agent can decide which OpenRush tool to call.

* "Find my top search competitors for `example.com`."
* "Find keyword gaps between my site and these competitors."
* "Find strong sites that link to my competitors but not to me."
* "What does Google show today for `best crm for startups`?"
* "Audit my website and tell me what to fix first."
* "Which page on this competitor site is winning the most traffic?"

## Check usage and credits

Use the Dashboard for account details:

* [**Activity**](https://www.openrush.com/dashboard/usage): recent API and MCP requests.
* [**Billing**](https://www.openrush.com/dashboard/billing): credit balance and purchases.
* [**API access**](https://www.openrush.com/dashboard/api): API keys for server-side use.

## Developer option

If you are building a server-side integration, create an API key in [API access](https://www.openrush.com/dashboard/api), then call the REST API directly.

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.openrush.com/v1/tools/inspect_domain" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer or_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain":"stripe.com"}'
```

Developers should also call `/v1/capabilities` to see which tools are enabled:

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.openrush.com/v1/capabilities"
```
