# Using WorkBuddy with Hologrow

Connect the WorkBuddy desktop app to Hologrow through MCP, then enable Trust so WorkBuddy can use the Hologrow tools.

## Prerequisites

1. At least one data source connected in [**Integrations**](../hologrow-basics/integrations) and syncing in [**Data Explorer**](../hologrow-basics/data-explorer)
2. Access to WorkBuddy desktop app.

## Step 1: Install in a new conversation

Create an MCP key in [AI Platforms](../hologrow-basics/ai-platforms). Open WorkBuddy, start a new conversation, replace `YOUR_MCP_KEY` below with your key, then copy, paste, and send the complete prompt.

```text theme={"system"}
Install Hologrow MCP for me:
- URL: https://mcp.hologrow.ai/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authentication header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY

When installation is complete, remind me to open the connector management page and enable Trust for Hologrow.
```

## Step 2: Enable Trust

Go to **Experts · Skills · Connectors → Connectors → Configure MCP**. Find **Hologrow** and enable **Trust**.
