You've got the server running (thanks to the Getting Started guide). Now it's time to connect a client.

Connect to Your Server

Open the Jean2 client and add a new server connection. You'll see a form where you enter:

Server name — a nickname for yourself, like "Home" or "Work". It's just a label — it doesn't change anything on the server.
Server URL — by default this is http://localhost:8742
API Token — run jean2 auth show in your terminal to get the current token

Adding a server connection

Once you click "Connect," the client will verify the connection and save your server settings.

What You'll See First

After connecting, you'll land in the main interface. If this is a fresh setup with no LLM provider configured yet, you'll see a prompt to add API keys before you can start chatting with your agent.

First time experience after connecting

Don't worry — that's exactly what we'll do next.

Next Step

To actually use the agent, you need to connect an LLM provider. Let's do that now.

Go deeper: Already connected? Jump to Configure API Keys to set up your LLM provider.
