# Cohesivity Developer Resources

Use this index to discover Cohesivity by product name and choose the contract that matches the job. The REST API provisions and operates project infrastructure; the two MCP servers expose public documentation and OAuth-protected account management as native tools.

## REST API

- Documentation index: https://cohesivity.ai/docs
- OpenAPI 3.1 description: https://cohesivity.ai/openapi.json
- Authentication guide: https://cohesivity.ai/auth.md
- API versioning and deprecation policy: https://cohesivity.ai/docs/versioning
- Per-offering endpoint references: https://cohesivity.ai/offerings
- Agent instructions and when-to-use guidance: https://cohesivity.ai/llms.txt

## Model Context Protocol

- MCP discovery metadata alias: https://cohesivity.ai/.well-known/mcp.json (a stable Cohesivity alias, not a standards-reserved MCP endpoint)
- Anonymous documentation MCP endpoint: https://cohesivity.ai/mcp
- OAuth-protected management MCP endpoint: https://cohesivity.ai/mcp/manage
- Management MCP discovery metadata: https://cohesivity.ai/.well-known/mcp/manage/server-card.json
- OAuth Protected Resource Metadata: https://cohesivity.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp/manage

## Start an integration

Run `npx @cohesivity/init`, or use `https://cohesivity.ai/quickstart.sh` when Node is unavailable. The installer creates or reuses an ephemeral project tenant and writes its credentials to a gitignored `.cohesivity` file. Keep those credentials server-side, read the selected offering reference before calling it, and use the one-click claim flow only after the project is ready for a human to keep.
