Uteke for pi

Mario Zechner (Earendil) · Coding agent · MCP + sign-in or API key · Beta

A minimal coding agent for the terminal, with MCP built in.

Beta: written from pi's own documentation and not tested by us yet. If a step does not match what you see, follow pi's docs and tell us at [email protected].

Set it up

Add Uteke with sign-in through client metadata (CIMD):

~/.pi/agent/mcp.json (or .pi/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uteke": {
      "url": "https://uteke.app/mcp",
      "oauth": { "clientRegistration": "cimd" }
    }
  }
}

Or use an API key instead of signing in:

Terminal

export UTEKE_KEY=utk_live_YOUR_KEY
pi mcp add uteke --url https://uteke.app/mcp --bearer-token-env-var UTEKE_KEY

API keys are made at API keys in the portal; choose read-only if the agent only needs to recall. A key works only for your workspace.

Do not set clientName in the oauth block: it switches pi to dynamic registration, which Uteke's sign-in does not offer.

Try it

Ask pi:

Remember that we release from main only, never from develop.
What did we decide about pricing last week?
Save this summary to the team room.

Then ask the same thing from another agent you connected: they share one memory.

Disconnect

Open Agents in the portal and choose Disconnect. It works for agents that signed in and for API keys; access is checked again within about 30 seconds. You can also remove Uteke in pi's own settings.
