# Connect in a few steps

> Use native OAuth to connect your agent and verify access with saved-work reads.

## 1. Prepare your workspace

Sign in to [Studio](https://studio.sia.vision/). Use an existing Storyworld or create one in Studio. A Storyworld holds the creative work your account is permitted to access.

## 2. Add the remote server

In your agent’s MCP settings, choose remote HTTP and enter:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.sia.vision/studio
```

Name it **SIA Studio**. If you already have a SIA entry, update that entry rather than adding a duplicate. Existing internal names such as `sia-studio-production` can stay unchanged.

Follow [the guide for your client](https://docs.sia.vision/clients.md). Keep optional headers empty unless the client’s current official instructions require otherwise. Never copy an OAuth token from another client or browser.

## 3. Sign in and review permissions

Complete the native SIA sign-in flow. Initial discovery requests account and saved-work read access. Creating drafts, editing assets and generating media require additional scopes. Only approve capabilities you want this connection to use.

Some clients request renewable access. **Stay connected for up to 30 days** is optional and unchecked by default. It permits renewal within that limit; it does not authorize a new creative task or spending.

## 4. Check the connected account

Ask:

> Which SIA account am I connected to, and which Storyworlds can I access?

The client can use `account_get` and `storyworld_list`. This first check does not create media or spend generation credits. A Connected badge or completed browser callback alone is not proof of a successful tool call.

## 5. Find something saved

> Find the characters I saved for this story and show their reference images.

Choose the correct Storyworld when needed. Reuse the returned Studio links if your host cannot display the media. Continue with [creative workflows](https://docs.sia.vision/workflows.md) when the saved-work check succeeds.

## If access changes

Refresh the client’s tool list or start a new conversation after a server update. Use native reconnect/sign-in when the client needs additional permissions. Follow [authentication](https://docs.sia.vision/authentication.md) and [recovery](https://docs.sia.vision/media-and-recovery.md) before retrying an interrupted write.
