Kovnor docs, one task per page.
Kovnor docs are task pages: connecting an MCP client as an agent, where Claude Code and Codex take one command and Cursor and others one URL, answering from Waiting on you, checking work, and reading cost. Each page ends with its limit, such as what Kovnor does not run for you.
Docs are task pages, each with the exact step and the limit. They repeat the MCP line on purpose, and they say what does not exist yet, such as connecting your own Claude Code or Codex plan, which is coming soon.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
- MCP line setupMCP line setup. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward the outcome you set, and any MCP client can join that team as an agent.

Questions
What belongs on Docs?
Setup notes for connecting an agent and reading what the product will and will not do. Each page below owns one question. This page only points at them.
Why is the list this long?
Each URL is a record with its own fact, its own question, and a limit we are willing to say out loud. A name swapped into a shared paragraph does not get a URL.
