You can read the Kiro setup steps without signing in.

Sign in when you are ready to create a private token, or replace the placeholder in the command below with an existing Great Arrow token.

Step 1 · Get your secure link

The install command below is public, but Kiro needs its own private link before it can access your Great Arrow workspace. Sign in to create one, or paste an existing link code anywhere you see gad_PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN.

Step 2 · Add it to Kiro

One URL, inside Kiro

Import from GitHub

Our Power is public on GitHub. Paste its address where Kiro asks for one, then drop your private link in — no download, no terminal.

In Kiro: Powers → Add Custom Power → Import from GitHub
Paste the address below and click Install
In the Power's settings, replace YOUR_GAD_TOKEN with your private link — done

Power addressurl

https://github.com/Clapptastic/great-arrow-kiro-power

Your private link

gad_PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN

Or download the Power with your link already inside

Your personalized Power — your private link is baked in, and it connects over HTTP as kiro-power so Kiro gets a focused starter tool set and expands on demand.

↓ Download Great Arrow Power

Unzip it, then in Kiro: Powers → Add Custom Power → Local Directory → pick the unzipped great-arrow folder — done.

Prefer the manual config (local bridge)?

The older path. Kiro can't connect to the full Great Arrow tool set directly, so this runs a small helper on your computer that passes along a focused set of tools. Two steps:

1. Install the helper (run once in your terminal)

Terminalbash

mkdir -p ~/.great-arrow && curl -fsSL https://www.greatarrow.ai/api/install/mcp-proxy -o ~/.great-arrow/mcp-server.mjs

Requires Node 24+. Re-running is safe — it just refreshes the helper.

2. Wire it into Kiro

Open Kiro → Command Palette → "Kiro: Focus on MCP Servers View"
Click the + button or edit ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json directly
Paste the JSON below and save — Kiro auto-reloads MCP servers

~/.kiro/settings/mcp.jsonjson

  "mcpServers": {
    "great-arrow": {
      "command": "sh",
      "args": [
