## FAQ

### How do I set up GopherHole in my IDE?

You can either omit the GOPHERHOLE_API_KEY for an interactive browser-based setup or provide an API key in your IDE's MCP configuration file.

### How can I verify if my API key is working?

The fastest way to test your installation is to call the `agent_me` tool, which returns the tenant, agent ID, and scopes associated with your key.

### Can I use this with Claude Code?

Yes, Claude Code connects through the MCP server without needing a separate plugin; you simply add the server using the Claude CLI.
