MCP / AI agent integration

Inkie exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and others — can create and schedule content directly.

Endpoint

https://app.inkie.ink/api/mcp

This is a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint (MCP spec 2025-03-26). A legacy SSE endpoint is still available at /api/mcp/sse for clients that haven't migrated yet.

Tool discovery: https://app.inkie.ink/.well-known/mcp/manifest

Authentication

Inkie's MCP server speaks OAuth 2.1. Most modern clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) handle this automatically — on first connect they pop a browser window, you sign in to Inkie, and the client stores the token from there on. You don't need to set an Authorization header by hand.

If your client doesn't speak OAuth yet, fall back to an API key: get one from Settings → API keys and pass it as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Set up in Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json) — just the URL, no headers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inkie": {
      "url": "https://app.inkie.ink/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The first time you ask Claude to use Inkie, a browser window opens for sign-in; after that, the client remembers you.

Set up in Claude Code

claude mcp add inkie \
  --transport http \
  --url https://app.inkie.ink/api/mcp

Claude Code triggers the OAuth flow on first use — sign in once and it's wired.

Set up in Cursor

In Cursor settings → MCP, add a new server:

Name: Inkie
Transport: HTTP
URL: https://app.inkie.ink/api/mcp

No header to set — Cursor will negotiate OAuth on first request.

Discovery manifest

The manifest at /.well-known/mcp/manifest lists all tools and their schemas. Most MCP clients auto-discover tools from this endpoint — you shouldn't need to configure individual tools manually.
