# Kiro IDE > Connect MCP Bond to Kiro with its one-click MCP installer. The one-click installer adds Valency to your Kiro IDE user profile across workspaces. ## Quick setup Follow the current, tested steps on [the Kiro IDE setup page](https://docs.valency.io/guides/aws/kiro/). The sections below cover additional cases and troubleshooting. ## Troubleshooting **The link did not open Kiro?** Click **Open in Kiro** on the landing page. Your browser may ask permission to open the app. **Valency says Unauthenticated or Connection Failed?** Click **Authenticate** or **Retry** beside `valency` under Kiro's **MCP Servers**. If Kiro was waiting on browser consent, finish that sign-in and retry. **The agent cannot see Valency's tools?** Confirm that **MCP Servers** shows `valency Connected`, then start a new Kiro chat and ask it to call `list_sources`. See [Troubleshooting](https://docs.valency.io/help/troubleshooting.md) for other connection issues or [report an issue](https://docs.valency.io/help/reporting-issues.md).
