Quick Start

Get up and running with Syncello in minutes. Choose your preferred integration method below.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A Syncello account (sign up here)
• API credentials for your connected platforms (Tape, Podio, or ShareFile)
• For MCP: Claude Desktop or another MCP-compatible client
• For REST API: Any HTTP client (curl, Postman, your app)

Option 1: MCP Server (Recommended)

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows AI assistants like Claude to directly use Syncello tools. This is the easiest way to get started.

Step 1: Configure Claude Desktop

Add Syncello as a remote MCP server in your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "syncello": {
      "url": "https://api.syncello.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Restart Claude Desktop

Restart the application for changes to take effect.

Step 3: Start Using Tools

Ask Claude to perform actions like:

"List all workspaces in my Tape account"
"Create a new record in my Podio CRM app"
"Upload this file to ShareFile"

See the MCP Server documentation for detailed setup instructions.

Option 2: REST API

Use the REST API to integrate Syncello tools directly into your applications or automation workflows.

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Log in to your Syncello dashboard
2. Navigate to Settings and then Account
3. Copy your JWT token from the API Access section

Step 2: Make Your First Request

curl -X POST https://api.syncello.io/v1/tools/tape/listWorkspaces \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Step 3: Explore Available Tools

Browse the Tools Reference to see all available operations for Tape, Podio, and ShareFile.

See the REST API documentation for authentication details and examples.
