  3. 03Retrieve approved files
  4. 04Check credit balance

Use cases

MCP support

The server originally exposed a signup tool and seven job-management tools for MCP clients. It is now discontinued, and its tools do not work.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Environment variables to set
FIRSTHAND_API_KEYSecretFirstHandAPI key (fh_live_... or fh_test_...). Omit for keyless mode, which exposes the signup tool.

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
