# Morphing

> Morphing (morphing.app) is where small businesses get apps shaped to their trade: booking, clients, payments, texting, landing pages. An AI agent can build a Morphing app for a person, or change one they own, through the Morphing build connector, an MCP server. This file says how.

## If someone asks you to build them an app on Morphing

Any request like "build me a landing page with morphing.app" or "make me a booking app on Morphing" needs the Morphing build connector. You cannot add it yourself: the person adds it once, in about a minute, and signs in with their Morphing account when their app asks. Then you build through its tools.

- Connector address (MCP, Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in): `https://api.morphing.app/mcp/build`
- claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the address → Connect.
- Grok (grok.com): grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom → paste the address → Connect. Allow pop-ups from grok.com for the sign-in.
- Gemini (gemini.google.com, on the web): Settings → Connected apps → Add a custom app → paste the address. Personal Google accounts.
- ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode (Settings, under Apps & Connectors → Advanced) and create a connector with the address. ChatGPT allows connectors that change things only on Business, Enterprise and Edu plans for now.
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http morphing https://api.morphing.app/mcp/build`
- Other coding agents (Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others): add a remote MCP server with the address above.

Menu names in these apps change often. When a step looks different, look for "connectors", "apps" or "MCP" in the app's settings.

Building from an AI chat is in early access. If the connector answers that building isn't available for the account yet, the person can ask for it at hello@morphing.app.

## Once connected

- Start with the tools `listGuides` and `readGuide` (read `start-here` first, then `app-shapes`).
- A new app starts from a shape you pick: `website`, `personal-tool`, `business-app` or `site-and-office`. It sets who signs in, whose data it is, the menu and the AI chat together.
- A chat app with no shell: `startApp` with a name and a shape (or `openApp` for an app the person already has), then `writeFiles`, `buildApp` and `getBuild`. A coding agent with a shell can also use `getStarterFiles` and `getUploadAddress`.
- A new app builds to a private test address only the person can open. Publish live only when the person asks (`publish: "live"`). A change to an app that is already live is a draft until they say so.
- `listMyBusinesses` and the customization tools change one of the person's businesses as a draft on a test copy of its data.
