Help / Getting Started
From account creation to organization setup, MCP integration, and your first project — this is the full picture for new Codens users. Roughly 15 minutes end-to-end.
The Codens family shares a single authentication base called Auth Codens. One account signs you into Red, Blue, Green, Purple, and Yellow.
New accounts get a Free Trial of 30,000 credits valid for 14 days. No credit card required. See Pricing for details.
Codens manages billing and resources per organization. Even individual users need one organization.
Each product has its own independent organization_id. SSO tokens are shared, but Red / Blue / Green / Purple each issue their own UUID. When using MCP, omit organization_id — it is resolved automatically.
Enable them as you go. You do not need all of them, and you can add more later.
| Product | When to use | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Purple | Hand AI a coding task and want a PR back | purple.html |
| Red | Auto-fix PRs from Sentry / bug reports | red.html |
| Blue | Generate and run E2E tests with AI | blue.html |
| Green | Turn ambiguous requirements into PRDs / Plans | green.html |
| Auth | SSO / API keys / organization management | auth.html |
To call Codens directly from AI agents (Claude Code / Cursor / Cline / etc.), install codens-mcp. You can skip this if you only plan to use the dashboards — but agent-driven workflows shine through MCP.
# 1. Install
pip install codens-mcp
# 2. Register in ~/.claude/settings.json (Claude Code)
{
"mcpServers": {
"codens": { "command": "codens-mcp", "args": [] }
}
}
# 3. Log in with Device Code Flow

Link a GitHub repository to each Codens product. The same repo can be registered to multiple products (one call via the unified register tool).
Option A. Via the dashboard. Each product (Red / Blue / Green / Purple): open "New Project", run GitHub OAuth, and pick a repo.
Option B. Via MCP (let the agent register everything at once):
// Register the same repo across four products in a single call
await tools.codens_register_project_unified({
repo_full_name: "Corevice/your-repo",
products: ["purple", "red", "blue", "green"]
});Per-product settings (GitHub App install, Sentry webhook, Notion link, etc.) are covered in each product's setup page.
