Setup for Claude Code & Cursor

Add this to your MCP settings. For Claude Code: <code>~/.claude/settings.json</code>. For Cursor: <code>.cursor/mcp.json</code>.

MCP config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adaptlypost": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.adaptlypost.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer adaptly_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API key from the API Tokens page. Keys start with adaptly_.

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add --transport http --scope project --header "Authorization: Bearer adaptly_your_api_key_here" -- adaptlypost https://mcp.adaptlypost.com/mcp

Or use the Claude Code CLI one-liner:

Setup for Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop requires the <code>mcp-remote</code> bridge for HTTP MCP servers. Add this to your <code>claude_desktop_config.json</code>:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adaptlypost": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.adaptlypost.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer adaptly_your_api_key_here"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setup for other MCP clients

Any MCP client that supports HTTP transport can connect directly.

Endpoint

https://mcp.adaptlypost.com/mcp

Auth header

Authorization: Bearer adaptly_your_api_key_here

Transport

HTTP (Streamable HTTP)

For clients that only support stdio transport, use the <code>mcp-remote</code> bridge as shown in the Claude Desktop section.

Alternative: Agent Skill

For Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex you can also install AdaptlyPost as an agent skill, no MCP configuration needed.

npx skills add adaptlypost/agent

Installs a SKILL.md and CLI script that teaches your agent the AdaptlyPost API. View on GitHub
