Installing the MCP Server

The Clayo MCP server connects your AI coding tool to your Clayo project. Once installed, your agent can create, edit, and publish articles on your behalf.

Supported tools

Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI for Claude
Cursor — AI-native code editor
Codex — OpenAI's coding agent

Setup

Add the Clayo MCP server to your tool's configuration. The exact steps depend on which tool you use, but the general pattern is:

Open your MCP server settings
Add the Clayo server with your project's API key
Restart your tool to pick up the new server

Once connected, your agent will have access to tools like create_article, update_article, publish_article, and more.

Verifying the connection

Ask your agent to "list my Clayo projects." If the connection is working, it will return your project name and ID.

Troubleshooting

Server not showing up? Make sure you saved the configuration and restarted your tool.
Authentication errors? Double-check your API key in the MCP server config.
Tools not available? Some tools require the MCP server to be explicitly enabled in your tool's settings.
