2. Install SpringBrand

Install through your Agent

Paste this prompt into a new conversation in WorkBuddy:

Paste into your Agent chat

Install or update SpringBrand in WorkBuddy using https://plugin.springbrand.ai/INSTALL.md.

Enable Full Access before installation begins so your Agent can install SpringBrand and save its connection settings.

To run the commands yourself, use the terminal setup below.

3. Authorize the connection

When your Agent asks to connect your account, choose an authorization method:

API key: open Account Settings → MCP API Keys, then click View installation key or Create key. Provide the key when your Agent asks.
Browser sign-in: ask your Agent to use browser sign-in, then complete the authorization in your browser. Keep the setup conversation open until your Agent confirms the connection.

4. Start using SpringBrand

When your Agent confirms that setup is complete, restart WorkBuddy and open a new conversation.

Check the connection

Show me the SpringBrand tools available in this conversation.

Once the tools are available, try your first task. If they are missing, see Troubleshooting.

Optional: set up from the terminal

With Node.js and npm installed, run each command separately. Continue only when both succeed:

Install or update SpringBrand CLI

npm install -g @springbrand/cli@latest

Check the CLI installation

sp --version

Connect your account with an API key or browser sign-in:

Connect with an API key

Copy a key from Account Settings → MCP API Keys. Replace {{INSTALL_KEY}} below with your key, then run:

Replace {{INSTALL_KEY}} with your key

sp connect workbuddy-ai --url https://connector.springbrand.ai/mcp --api-key {{INSTALL_KEY}} --json

Or use browser sign-in

For browser sign-in (OAuth), run:

Start browser sign-in

sp connect workbuddy-ai --url https://connector.springbrand.ai/mcp --json

Run the login command printed in the output, if there is one, then authorize access in your browser. Keep the terminal open until sign-in finishes.

Complete any remaining connection checks shown in the output, then restart WorkBuddy and open a new conversation. For errors or unfinished setup, see Manual installation checks.
