# Kiro

> Connect the Paradime MCP server to Kiro by adding a remote server to your Kiro mcp.json, and how to reconnect an expired connection.

<Info>
  First complete [Steps 1–2 in the Overview](/products/dino-ai/mcp-server) to generate your MCP token and copy your MCP server URL.
</Info>

Open Kiro's settings file at `~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json` (create it if it doesn't exist) and add the Paradime entry:

```json title="~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json" theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paradime": {
      "url": "<mcp-endpoint-url>",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `<mcp-endpoint-url>` with your URL from Step 2 and `YOUR_MCP_TOKEN` with the token from Step 1.

Restart Kiro. You can verify the connection under **Settings → MCP**, where Paradime should be listed with a green checkmark.

### Reconnecting an expired connection

By default, the MCP connection expires after one week and you will need to reconnect. To do that, visit [app.paradime.io/settings/api-keys](https://app.paradime.io/settings/api-keys), generate a new MCP token, and replace it in your `~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json`. Then click **Reauthenticate** in the MCP Servers panel in Kiro and your Paradime MCP will reconnect. Restart the Kiro IDE after the change.

<Warning>
  In Kiro, use **Reauthenticate** — do not use **Reconnect** and enter the token in the browser window.
