<div align="center">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td align="center">

        <br>
        <em>Sign in to InsForge</em>
      </td>
      <td align="center">
        <img src="assets/mcpInstallv2.png" alt="MCP Configuration">
        <br>
        <em>Configure MCP connection</em>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>

### 3. Test the Connection

```
I'm using InsForge as my backend platform, fetch InsForge instruction doc to learn more about InsForge.
```

<div align="center">

  <em>Sample successful response calling insforge MCP tools</em>
</div>

### 4. Start Using InsForge

Start building your project in a new directory! Build your next todo app, Instagram clone, or online platform in seconds!

**Sample Project Prompt:**

"Build an app similar to Reddit with community-based discussion threads using InsForge as the backend platform that has these features:
- Has a "Communities" list where users can browse or create communities
- Each community has its own posts feed
- Users can create posts with a title and body (text or image upload to InsForge storage)
- Users can comment on posts and reply to other comments
- Allows upvoting and downvoting for both posts and comments
- Shows vote counts and comment counts for each post"
