Works with any MCP client

Prep inside your AI assistant

Connect GrillRound once and your roadmap, weak areas, and daily prep come with you into your AI assistant — with every session tracked automatically. This guide walks through Claude Desktop and Claude Code, but GrillRound is a standard remote MCP server (OAuth), so any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT connectors, …) works the same way. Setup takes about two minutes.

2-minute setup

Connect in three steps

1

Set a connection password

In GrillRound, go to Settings → Integrations and set a connection password. This is required— GrillRound signs you in with Google or a magic link, so you don't have a password until you set one here, and the connector's sign-in screen asks for it. It's separate from your Google/magic-link login. You'll need a free GrillRound account first.

2Add the connector in your client

Claude Desktop

  1. 1.Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. 2.Paste the GrillRound MCP server URL (below) and confirm.
  3. 3.Sign in with your GrillRound email + connection password.

Claude Code

  1. 1.Run claude mcp add --transport http preppath https://mcp.grillround.com
  2. 2.Run /mcp and choose Authenticate.
  3. 3.Sign in with your GrillRound email + connection password.

Cursor

  1. 1.Open Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
  2. 2.Add an HTTP server pointing at the GrillRound MCP server URL (below) and enable it.
  3. 3.Complete the browser sign-in with your GrillRound email + connection password.

VS Code (Copilot / Agent)

  1. 1.Run MCP: Add Server… from the Command Palette and choose HTTP.
  2. 2.Paste the GrillRound MCP server URL (below) and confirm.
  3. 3.Authenticate with your GrillRound email + connection password.

Any other MCP client

  1. 1.Add a remote / HTTP MCP server pointing at the GrillRound MCP server URL (below).
  2. 2.The client will run the standard OAuth sign-in (OAuth 2.0 + PKCE + dynamic client registration — no manual client ID needed).
  3. 3.Sign in with your GrillRound email + connection password. That's it — the same tools work in any client.

What to ask once you're connected

  • What’s on my GrillRound roadmap today?
  • Give me my next LeetCode problem.
  • What are my weak areas right now?
  • Start today’s prep session.
  • Log that I solved two-sum in 15 minutes.
  • Quiz me on system design fundamentals.

Frequently asked

Do I need to pay anything extra?
No. GrillRound is free and uses your own AI key. The connector adds no cost — you only pay your AI provider for usage, just like in the web app.
Is my data safe?
The connector uses a revocable OAuth token that expires after 30 days. You can disconnect all sessions at any time from Settings → Integrations. Your AI keys stay AES-256 encrypted and are never exposed.
I signed up with Google (or a magic link) — how do I sign in to the connector?
The connector login asks for a password, but Google/magic-link accounts don't have one by default. Open GrillRound → Settings → Integrations and set a one-time connection password first — it's separate from your Google/magic-link login. Then use your GrillRound email + that connection password on the connector sign-in screen.
Does this only work with Claude?
No. The GrillRound MCP server is a standard remote MCP server (OAuth 2.0 + PKCE + dynamic client registration), so any MCP-compatible client that supports remote servers with OAuth can connect — Claude Desktop and Claude Code are the walkthrough here, but clients such as Cursor, VS Code, or ChatGPT connectors work too by pointing them at the same server URL. (Support varies by client and version.)
What do I need to use this?
A free GrillRound account with a connection password set (Settings → Integrations), and an MCP-compatible client — e.g. Claude Desktop (with custom connector support) or Claude Code. The same GrillRound login works across clients.
How do I disconnect?
Go to Settings → Integrations in GrillRound and click Disconnect. That instantly revokes every active connector session across all your MCP clients.
