Enable MCP in Creator:
session · token · download package
session · token · download package
Follow the MCP tab buttons in order - match the UI labels; you don’t need to know the code underneath.
Learning goals: Enable integration → create session → create token → download zip → Save MCP state.

1. Required order
1. MCP tab → turn on Enable MCP integration
2. Create / resume session (do this before creating a token)
3. Set a Token label → Create token → copy it immediately (shown in full once)
4. Fill the extract folder (if the UI asks) → Download Appifio Aura MCP package (.zip)
5. Save MCP state
Next: unzip + configure the IDE (AS15)
2. Glossary (exact UI labels)
| Label | Meaning | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Enable MCP integration | Turn the MCP bridge on/off for this app | MCP tab |
| Create / resume session | Open or continue the temporary workspace | MCP tab |
| Create token | Generate a key for the IDE - copy it right away | After a session exists |
| Download … (.zip) | Guide + IDE config package | MCP tab |
| Revoke | Lock a token you no longer use or that leaked | Token table |
3. Detailed steps
- Creator → MCP tab.
- Turn on Enable MCP integration.
- Click Create / resume session - wait for success.
- Set a label (e.g. “Laptop”) → Create token → copy it somewhere safe.
- Download Appifio Aura MCP package (.zip) → extract to a folder with no spaces (AS15).
- Save MCP state.
The zip may expire after about a day - download again if needed. Token leaked → click Revoke, then create a new token.
4. Comparison
- Cloud API keys: same pattern - create once, copy immediately, revoke if exposed.
5. Limits & security
You can
- Connect an IDE using the UI as designed
Don’t
- Create a token before a session → often fails
- Share the token in a public chat
6. Common issues
| Situation | Fix |
|---|---|
| Can’t create a token | Run Create / resume session first |
| Forgot to copy the token | Revoke → create a new token |
| IDE says expired / 403 | AS16, X09 |
7. Checklist
- Order: Enable → session → token → zip → Save MCP state?
- Token stored somewhere safe?
AS15 - Configure the IDE on Windows
Internal navigation (same language)
