# Getting started

Connect your assistant, explore the research tools and control every paid request from your workspace.

## Connect your assistant

MARqentic brings search, AI visibility, social, advertising and commerce research into a compatible MCP assistant. Connect the remote server once, then ask the assistant to choose the tools for your question.

1. Add the remote MCP URL below to your assistant, or use its client-specific setup guide.
2. Sign in with Google or create and verify an email account. Review the client and select a workspace before authorizing access. New workspaces begin with zero credits.
3. Ask for a free cost estimate, then approve paid execution with an explicit maximum budget.

## Keep research under your control

Use dry_run to request supported estimates without paid provider execution, and max_credits to cap a request. Read meta.credits_charged and cache metadata in the result.

Workspace preferences control tool discovery. Revoke assistant grants and API keys in Settings when access is no longer needed. Publishing through connected social accounts requires separate platform permissions; public research does not grant posting access.
