Authentication

The CLI uses device code flow for secure authentication:

1. Run refineo login
2. A browser opens to authorize the device
3. Sign in and confirm the device code
4. Credentials are stored securely in ~/.refineo/

MCP Integration

Refineo provides an MCP server for integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other AI assistants.

Tools Available

Tool	Description
humanize_text	Transform AI-generated text into natural human writing
get_usage	Check remaining quota for current billing period

Authentication Options

Option 1: API Key (Recommended for MCP)

API keys are long-lived (7 days to 1 year) and don't require refresh. Create one at www.refineo.app/dashboard/api-keys.

Option 2: Bearer Token

Use the CLI to get a short-lived access token (15 minutes). Suitable for quick testing.

Setup for Claude Code

Run this command (replace sk_your_api_key with your actual key):

claude mcp add-json refineo '{"type":"http","url":"https://www.refineo.app/mcp/mcp","headers":{"X-API-Key":"sk_your_api_key"}}'

Setup for Claude Desktop (Native OAuth - Recommended)

1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors
2. Click "Add custom connector"
3. Enter URL: https://www.refineo.app/mcp/mcp
4. Click Add → Sign in with your Refineo account

No API key needed - uses OAuth authentication.

Setup for Claude Desktop / Cursor (API Key)

Alternatively, use an API key with the config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "refineo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.refineo.app/mcp/mcp",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key:sk_your_api_key_here"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js. Uses mcp-remote as a proxy.

Token Refresh

• API Keys: No refresh needed until expiry (7d-1y). Create new keys at dashboard/api-keys.
• Bearer Tokens: Expire after 15 minutes. Run refineo login to refresh.
