Quick Start Guide

Get Erold set up and connected to your AI assistant in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Sign up at app.erold.dev. No credit card required for the free tier.

Step 2: Create Your First Project

  1. After signing in, click "New Project"
  2. Enter a project name and optional description
  3. Choose a project key (e.g., "MYAPP")
  4. Click "Create Project"

Step 3: Generate an API Key

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click "Create API Key"
  3. Name it (e.g., "Claude Code")
  4. Select permissions (recommend: Read + Write)
  5. Copy the key - you'll need it next

Important: Save your API key securely. It won't be shown again.

Step 4: Configure MCP (for Claude Code)

Run this command in your terminal to add Erold to Claude Code:

claude mcp add-json erold '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@erold/mcp-server@latest"],"env":{"EROLD_API_KEY":"YOUR_API_KEY","EROLD_TENANT":"YOUR_TENANT_ID"}}' --scope user

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key and YOUR_TENANT_ID with your tenant ID (found in Settings).

Verify the connection:

claude mcp list

Restart Claude Code to activate the MCP server.

Important: Use actual values, not shell variables like ${EROLD_API_KEY}.

Step 5: Test the Integration

Try asking Claude:

"Create a task called 'Set up authentication' in my project"

Claude will use the MCP tools to create the task directly in Erold.

Alternative: Use the CLI

If you prefer the command line:

# Install the CLI
npm install -g @erold/cli

# Login with your API key
erold login --key your_api_key_here

# Create a task
erold task create "Set up authentication" --project MYAPP

# List tasks
erold task list
