Agent setup

Set up Creagency with Claude Code

Use Creagency when Claude Code needs to move from implementation context to social drafts while keeping social account control in your workspace.

Quick start

Step 1

Create a scoped Creagency API key

Use a key with post, asset, and integration scopes. The agent should not receive your social platform passwords.

Step 2

Install the local tooling

Install @creagency/agent, export CREAGENCY_API_KEY, and verify the workspace with auth:status and integrations:list.

Step 3

Add the Creagency skill

Give the agent the Creagency API rules so it knows account discovery, media upload, draft creation, and publish confirmation.

Step 4

Run the first draft

Ask for a draft and require the agent to show the connected account and post summary before scheduling or publishing.

Setup surfaces

Skill

Install the Creagency skill so Claude Code uses the real API rules instead of inventing endpoints.

Install the skill file in the agent's supported skill directory.

Tell the agent to read the skill before it drafts, uploads media, or prepares publish actions.

Keep API keys outside prompts and chat transcripts.

Install the Creagency skill

Use this for agents that read local skill files.

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api
curl -fsSL https://creagency.ai/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.md

CLI

Use parseable terminal commands when the agent can run local shell tools.

Install @creagency/agent globally or call it with npx.

Set CREAGENCY_API_KEY and CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN in the shell or agent environment.

Run auth:status and integrations:list before creating a post.

Creagency CLI baseline

Start every local agent setup with an auth check and account discovery.

npm install -g @creagency/agent
export CREAGENCY_API_KEY=creagency_xxx
export CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN=https://api.creagency.ai

creagency auth:status --json
creagency integrations:list --json

Local MCP

Add creagency-mcp with Claude Code's MCP command or project config. Hosted remote MCP is planned as a separate OAuth-based connector. Use the local CLI and stdio MCP server today.

Use claude mcp add for a local stdio server.

Set CREAGENCY_API_KEY in the environment, not the prompt.

Approve the project MCP server in Claude Code before expecting tool calls.

Claude Code MCP command

claude mcp add creagency -- npx -y -p @creagency/agent creagency-mcp

Prompt examples

Feature branch to launch copy

Claude Code reads the branch context, drafts a post, and leaves it for review.

Prompt

Use Creagency to draft a LinkedIn post from this feature branch. Show the draft and do not schedule it yet.

Expected outcome

A review-ready LinkedIn draft is created from code and docs context.

Issue summary to social update

Claude turns a closed issue into a customer-facing update.

Prompt

Summarize the closed issue and create one X draft in Creagency. Keep the tone plain and specific.

Expected outcome

A short post draft is created without leaking internal issue details.

Docs guide launch

Claude Code converts a new guide into multiple channel drafts.

Prompt

Create a LinkedIn post and an X post from docs/api/agent-playbook.md. List accounts first.

Expected outcome

Two drafts exist in Creagency and the selected accounts are visible for review.

Media attachment check

Claude uploads a local screenshot and links it to a post.

Prompt

Upload ./screenshots/new-dashboard.png to Creagency, attach it to a LinkedIn draft, and stop before publish.

Expected outcome

The draft includes the uploaded image and waits for approval.

Safety rules

Read connected accounts before creating or scheduling content.

Keep API keys in environment variables and never print them in chat.

Create drafts first when the user has not explicitly asked to schedule.

Prepare publish and delete actions before execution, then ask for confirmation.

Troubleshooting

Claude Code cannot see connected accounts.

Run creagency auth:status --json, then integrations:list --json. If the list is empty, connect social accounts in Creagency first.

A post command fails with a missing scope.

Create or rotate the API key with posts:read, posts:write, assets:read, assets:write, and integrations:read.

The agent tries to publish immediately.

Point it back to the skill rule: create or schedule a draft first unless the user explicitly confirms publish.
