Quickstart

This walks you through the shortest path from a new Scenery organization to an employee using an approved tool in Claude Code. You need an admin account and one employee with a laptop and Claude Code.

1. Sign in to the portal (2 minutes)

Section titled “1. Sign in to the portal (2 minutes)”

Go to app.scenery.dev/admin/login and sign in with your admin account. Scenery is invite-only, so you receive your admin invite by email.

2. Invite an employee (3 minutes)

Section titled “2. Invite an employee (3 minutes)”
  1. In the admin portal, open Invites under Configure.
  2. Enter the employee’s email address. In the menu next to it, choose Join org: followed by your organization’s name. A Role menu appears; leave it as member. Choose Send invite.

The employee gets an email with a link to set up their account. Details are in Invite users.

3. Employee installs the runner and pairs (10 minutes)

Section titled “3. Employee installs the runner and pairs (10 minutes)”

The employee signs in to the portal, chooses Pair a device on the home page (or opens My Devices), and expands Add a new device. The panel shows the install commands and a pairing command.

On macOS:

Terminal window
brew tap scenery-dev/tap && brew trust scenery-dev/tap && \
  brew install scenery && brew services start scenery

On Linux:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://install.scenery.dev | sh

Then they run the pairing command shown in the portal:

Terminal window
scenery auth pair <code>

Their laptop now appears under Devices in the admin portal. See Install the runner and Pair devices.

4. Approve a first tool (5 minutes)

Section titled “4. Approve a first tool (5 minutes)”

As an admin, add an MCP server:

  1. Open MCP Servers in the admin portal and choose + Import.
  2. Paste the server reference. Any common format works: an npx command, a JSON config or a URL.
  3. Choose Preview, check the detected details, then choose Add to Catalog. Imported servers start as approved.
  4. Open the server and check that its status is approved. Later, Block server stops new installs, and Revoke Access removes it from devices. See Kill switches.

Skills that employees publish go to the Review Queue, where you choose Approve (Publish) or Approve (Private). See Approvals and Approval.

5. Employee uses it in Claude Code (5 minutes)

Section titled “5. Employee uses it in Claude Code (5 minutes)”

The employee opens MCP Servers in the portal, finds the server and chooses Install. Some servers ask them to sign in to the service once. Then they open Claude Code, and the tool is available. See Connect your AI client and Find and install tools.

6. Check your work (5 minutes)

Section titled “6. Check your work (5 minutes)”

Back in the admin portal, open Activity Log to see what happened, and Devices to see the laptop’s installs. See Audit logs.
