What you can do with Lithic

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Lithic from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Lithic in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Lithic operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

How to connect Lithic

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. Connect Lithic once

    Add your Lithic connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

  3. Describe the job in chat

    The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
