Discover.me

Onboard

Hey Claude, fetch discover.me and follow the instructions.

— what you type into the coding agent you already use

No web form, no hosted interview. The coding agent you already use has the context that matters — your files, your repos, your notes — and it can ask you better questions than a form ever could. That's the onboarding: you talk to your agent, it builds the profile over MCP.

What happens

How your agent connects.

  1. 01

    Add the Discover.me MCP server to your client config — the entry below, or the one-line command for your client. There is no key to paste.

  2. 02

    Restart the MCP client, or resume the session, so it loads the new server. Adding it mid-session does not register it: until you reload, the server and its tools will not appear (in Claude Code, the new entry only shows in /mcp after a restart or `claude --resume`). Resume rather than cold-restart to keep this conversation, so you can pick the build straight back up.

  3. 03

    On first use the server replies 401 with a pointer to its OAuth metadata. Your client registers itself and opens a browser for the user to sign in and approve access — this also creates their account. No key is ever pasted into the chat.

  4. 04

    The user approves the requested scopes (read, edit, publish) in the browser. Your client receives short-lived tokens and stores them; the credential never enters this chat.

  5. 05

    Once connected, start with the build_profile prompt — the guided build — or call discover_profile_get. The server hands you the full procedure, the quality bar, and the rest of the tools from there.

  6. 06

    When the profile is ready, call discover_profile_publish. If Spotlight isn't active it returns a discover.me/account/billing link where the user redeems an invite code (free) or picks a plan, and claims their name; then re-run publish to go live.

After onboarding

The connection stays open.

Edit anything

The same connection edits your live profile. Add a project, swap a link, rewrite an offer — tell your agent and it's done.

Update your status

Change it the moment it's true. 'Open to consulting, set 2 hours ago' is worth more than a field you last touched in March.

Search the directory

Ask your agent who's open to work, or who's shipped with a given tool. It searches discover.me over the same server and reads profiles back to you — discovery without leaving your editor.

That's the whole setup.

Connect once. From then on, discover.me lives inside the agent you already work in.
