Quickstart

Get started testing Merge Agent Handler with a pre-configured tool pack.

To accelerate onboarding, we’ve created a test registered user and a starter tool pack, “My first Tool Pack”. This tool pack includes a few example tools to demonstrate how Agent Handler works.

1

Confirm your starter tool pack

You’ll see “My first Tool Pack” in your dashboard. It comes with a test registered user and a few example connectors.

If you don’t see any active connectors, continue below to configure your IDE and enable integrations.

2

Select and configure your IDE or assistant

Choose your preferred IDE or AI assistant and configure the Agent Handler MCP server.

Make sure your environment is running Node.js 20 or higher.

Supported IDEs:

  • Windsurf — Codeium’s AI-native IDE with advanced code generation
  • Cursor — Anysphere’s AI-native IDE with advanced code generation
  • Visual Studio Code — Popular code editor with GitHub Copilot integration
  • Claude Desktop — Anthropic’s AI assistant with native MCP support

See Testing Locally for setup instructions for each IDE.

Run sample queries

Once configured, test your setup with these queries:

  • What’s the weather forecast in Stockholm for the next 4 days?
  • Give me a list of trivia questions and answers, based on random Wikipedia articles
4

Use the GitHub connector

Authenticate with GitHub using a Personal Access Token (PAT). Your credentials will be securely stored and associated with the default test registered user.

Learn how to create and manage a GitHub PAT.

After authentication, refresh your MCP configuration. You should now see ~75 GitHub tools available in your tool pack.

Try these queries to verify your integration:

  • What repos do I have access to and what open PRs do I own in those repos?
