Getting started with Statio
From a new account to a governed, audited gateway, in a few minutes.
What you need
Setup
In the order a new team does it.
Create your Statio account
Sign up at app.statio.dev. The Free plan needs no card. The web dashboard is where you add servers and credentials, grant access, invite your team and read Activity.
Install the desktop app
Every person who uses an AI client with Statio installs the desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux and signs in with their account. It connects that machine to the gateway, keeps its device key in the system keychain where one is available, writes the configuration for each AI client, and includes the mcphub CLI. On a Mac you can install it with Homebrew:
brew install --cask sid-technologies/statio/statioAdd your credentials
Add the API keys your agents call through, whether that is Stripe, GitHub, Slack or something internal. They are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest, fetched at call time inside the gateway, and never handed to an agent.
Grant access per tool
Turn individual tools on and off rather than whole servers. An agent allowed to read a database is not thereby allowed to delete from it, and the gateway checks that on every request before it decrypts anything.
Connect your AI clients
In the desktop app, configure each client from Config in one click, or from the terminal with the mcphub CLI that comes with it. Either way it writes the correct MCP configuration for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Continue, Zed and Amazon Q, so nobody hand-edits JSON. The web dashboard does not configure clients.
mcphub login mcphub config <client>To install the CLI on its own, on macOS or Linux:
brew install sid-technologies/statio/mcphubGive each agent its own identity
Agents sign in as themselves rather than borrowing a person’s token. Agent tokens last five minutes and the agent signs in again with its own credential, so a leaked token is soon useless, and you can suspend or revoke the agent from the dashboard within seconds.
mcphub agent loginSee what your agents did
Every tool call is logged in Activity with the identity behind it, a timestamp, the latency and the outcome. Audit a machine for MCP servers Statio does not manage, enroll devices to see them across the team in Fleet (Team plan and up), and stream the whole record to your SIEM (Business plan and up).

Lock down your first tool in minutes.
Three MCP servers, one of them hosted, and 10,000 calls a month, free and without a card. If you outgrow it the next plan is $19.
Two steps: create your account, then install the desktop app on each machine that runs an AI client.
