# Before you begin

To connect Air with Claude Code, you need a few things ready:

- Access to a Business or Enterprise Air workspace
- An Air API key generated by a workspace owner or admin
- Claude Code installed on your device

# Retrieving you Air Workspace Details

For eligible Business and Enterprise workspaces, workspace owners and admins can find API Access in Workspace Settings. Follow these steps to retrieve your API key and Workspace ID from Air. You'll need both to set up the connection in Claude Code:

1. Navigate to your Air Workspace Settings and find '[API Access](https://app.air.inc/account/api)' on the left hand side of the screen under My Account.
2. Under **API Keys**, generate a new API key. Keep this key secure and do not share it.
3. Under **Workspace IDs**, retrieve your Workspace ID.

Once you have your Workspace ID and API key, open a new Claude Code session and run the command below, pasting in the Workspace ID and API key from Air:

```
claude mcp add air -t stdio -e AIR_API_KEY=your-api-key -e AIR_WORKSPACE_ID=your-workspace-id -- npx -y @air/mcp
```
