Getting Started

Get Pointa up and running in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through installation, configuration, and creating your first annotation.

Overview

Setting up Pointa involves three simple steps:

  1. Install the Chrome extension - Add Pointa to your browser
  2. Configure your AI tool - Connect Pointa to Cursor, Claude Code, or another AI coding agent
  3. Create your first annotation - Start annotating and let AI implement

How It Works

When you create an annotation in the browser:

  1. You click an element and add feedback
  2. The extension sends the annotation to the local server
  3. Your AI coding agent reads annotations via MCP protocol
  4. AI implements the changes in your actual code files

All communication happens locally on your machine. Your annotations, code, and data never leave your computer.
