# Build with AI

> Use AI assistants and coding agents to learn and integrate with Anchorage Digital faster.

You can explore these docs and build your Anchorage Digital integration with AI assistants and coding agents. Ask questions in natural language, pull our documentation straight into your AI tool, and start from ready-made prompts—while keeping the guardrails a custodian requires.

## New to AI-assisted development?

An **AI coding assistant**—such as Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Windsurf—writes and edits code alongside you. The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that connects these assistants to outside knowledge and tools, like a universal adapter. The assistant is the **client**; a **server** supplies the knowledge or actions. Anchorage Digital hosts an MCP server for these docs, so your assistant can search and cite them directly instead of guessing.

## Recommended path

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick an AI tool">
    Use Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, or the Claude and ChatGPT apps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect the Anchorage Digital docs">
    Add our MCP server, or pull pages as Markdown, so your assistant answers from the current docs rather than guesswork. See [Connect your AI assistant](/knowledge-base/build-with-ai/connect-ai-assistant).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start from a prompt">
    Use a ready-made prompt for your task. See [Ready-made prompts](/knowledge-base/build-with-ai/prompts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build with guardrails">
    Use scoped, read-only keys first, and keep a human in the loop before anything moves assets. See [AI security and guardrails](/knowledge-base/build-with-ai/security).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Anchorage Digital moves institutional assets. Before you let an AI agent act on your account, read [AI security and guardrails](/knowledge-base/build-with-ai/security).
