# Quickstart with Radar Cloud

> Sign up, create an organization, install Radar in your cluster with one Helm command, and start using fleet views.

Sign up, install the Helm chart, share fleet views with your team. Free tier: 3 clusters, unlimited members. For the architecture, see [Cloud overview](/docs/cloud/overview).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up" icon="user-plus">
    Go to [app.radarhq.io](https://app.radarhq.io/login) and authenticate with Google, a passkey, or an email magic link. New users are routed through the WorkOS sign-up flow on the same page. Auth is via [WorkOS](https://workos.com).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your organization" icon="building">
    First-time users land on an onboarding page. If your email domain isn't a free-mail provider (`gmail.com`, `outlook.com`, etc.), we'll suggest a name based on it. You can change it later under **Settings → Organization**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a cluster" icon="plug">
    From the home page, click **Connect a cluster** (or go to `/install`). Give the cluster a name and click **Generate install command**.

    You'll see a Helm command with your cluster ID and one-time install token baked in:

    ```bash theme={null}
    helm upgrade --install radar oci://ghcr.io/skyhook-io/radar \
      --namespace radar --create-namespace \
      --set cloud.enabled=true \
      --set cloud.url=wss://api.radarhq.io/agent \
      --set cloud.token=rhc_... \
      --set cloud.clusterName=<cluster_id> \
      --set rbac.helm=true \
      --set rbac.secrets=true \
      --set rbac.podExec=true \
      --set rbac.portForward=true
    ```

    Run that against the cluster you want to connect. The page polls for up to 5 minutes; once the in-cluster Radar reaches the control plane, you'll be redirected into the cluster view.

    <Warning>The token is shown **once**. If you lose it, rotate it from **Clusters → cluster → Rotate token** - this invalidates the old one and forces a reconnect.</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Radar" icon="circle-nodes">
    Once connected, you'll see the same Radar UI as the OSS binary - topology, resources, timeline, audit, Helm, GitOps, traffic, cost, MCP. Cloud adds:

    * **Cluster switcher** in the top nav for jumping between connected clusters.
    * **Fleet views** at `/fleet/*` - cross-cluster problems, search, checks, and package drift.
    * **Disconnected banner** if the in-cluster Radar stops reaching the control plane.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team" icon="users">
    **Settings → Organization → Members → Invite member**. Pick a role:

    * **Owner** - full admin, including billing and destructive ops.
    * **Member** - operational access (view + standard mutations).
    * **Viewer** - read-only.

    If everyone on your team uses the same email domain, set up [domain auto-join](/docs/cloud/members) so new sign-ups land in the org automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wire AI tools (optional)" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    Radar Cloud exposes per-cluster MCP endpoints so Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-aware tools can read and operate on your clusters. Mint a personal access token under **Settings → Tokens** and follow the in-app wizard. See [Personal access tokens](/docs/cloud/personal-access-tokens) and [AI via MCP](/docs/features/mcp).
  </Step>
