Use Chirpie with Claude

Verified 2026-09-28 against Claude's help center, the Claude Code MCP docs and Chirpie's live OAuth metadata.

How do I connect Chirpie to Claude?

Add https://chirpie.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server and sign in to Chirpie when Claude asks. In claude.ai and Claude Desktop that is a custom connector under Customize → Connectors; in Claude Code it is one command, claude mcp add --transport http chirpie https://chirpie.ai/mcp, followed by /mcp to sign in. Nothing is installed and no API key is pasted.

Once connected, Claude can publish, schedule and thread posts on X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Mastodon and Telegram, save drafts, upload media, read analytics and answer comments, using the accounts you connected to Chirpie. Threads, Instagram and Facebook are coming soon.

claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Both use the same connector list, because remote connectors are stored on your Claude account and called from Anthropic's servers rather than from your computer. Add Chirpie once and it appears in both.

1. In claude.ai open Customize → Connectors. In Claude Desktop open Settings and choose Connectors.
2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
3. Enter the URL:

https://chirpie.ai/mcp

4. Leave Advanced settings empty. Chirpie registers Claude as a client automatically, so there is no client ID or secret to supply.
5. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to Chirpie in the window that opens.
6. In a chat, open the + menu in the message box and switch Chirpie on under connectors for that conversation.

On Team and Enterprise plans only an owner can add a custom connector, under Organization settings → Connectors. Members then find Chirpie in Customize → Connectors, marked Custom, and click Connect to sign in with their own Chirpie account.

The connector dialog has no field for a custom header, so claude.ai and Claude Desktop always use the sign-in flow rather than an API key.

Claude Code

Add the hosted server over HTTP:

claude mcp add --transport http chirpie https://chirpie.ai/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code, pick chirpie and complete the sign-in in your browser. claude mcp login chirpie does the same from your shell.

Add --scope user to make Chirpie available in every project, or --scope project to write it to the project's .mcp.json so your team gets it too:

claude mcp add --transport http chirpie --scope user https://chirpie.ai/mcp

For CI or a headless session with no browser, send an API key instead of signing in. Create one in the dashboard, ideally narrowed with scopes:

claude mcp add --transport http chirpie https://chirpie.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer chirpie_sk_YOUR_KEY"

The Chirpie plugin (/plugin marketplace add Firefloco/chirpie-skills, then /plugin install chirpie@chirpie-skills) registers the same server and adds the Chirpie skills. See MCP Server.

What happens when I sign in?

Chirpie's MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256) and dynamic client registration, advertised at https://chirpie.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. In practice:

1. Claude calls https://chirpie.ai/mcp, gets a 401 with a pointer to that metadata, and registers itself with Chirpie.
2. A browser window opens on the Chirpie sign-in page. If you are already signed in to chirpie.ai it skips straight on.
3. Chirpie hands Claude an access token for the MCP server and the window closes. Claude refreshes the token on its own afterwards.

If you have no Chirpie account yet, create one first and connect at least one social account in the dashboard, or ask Claude to connect one once the connector is added.

A sign-in grant cannot create, list or revoke API keys, or remove your own X developer app: those four tools are only offered to a connection that authenticates with an API key. Everything else, including connecting social accounts, works the same.

Which tools ask before they run?

Every Chirpie tool carries a title and the standard MCP annotations. Claude can run the read-only ones (listing posts and accounts, analytics, comments) without asking, and asks before a destructive one (deleting a post or comment, disconnecting or deactivating an account, editing a queued post) unless you have allowed it. The full table is in Which tools ask before they run?.

What can I ask Claude to do?

• "Post 'We just shipped dark mode' to X and Bluesky, and give Bluesky a shorter version."
• "Schedule a LinkedIn post for Tuesday at 9am New York time announcing the webinar, and save a draft of the follow-up."
• "How did yesterday's X post do? Summarize the replies and draft answers for the questions."

More prompts, and every tool's parameters, are on the MCP Server page. For an X walkthrough from connecting the account to the first post, see Post to X from Claude.

Frequently asked questions

Which Claude plans can add Chirpie as a custom connector?

Custom connectors are available on the Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. Free is limited to one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds Chirpie under Organization settings, then each member connects it for themselves.

Does Claude ask before it posts or deletes something?

Claude reads each tool's annotations. Read-only tools such as listing posts or reading analytics can run without asking. Destructive tools such as deleting a post, deleting a comment or disconnecting an account prompt you first unless you have allowed them. Publishing tools are neither read-only nor destructive, so how Claude treats them follows your permission settings.

Why don't I see the API key tools in claude.ai?

When you connect by signing in, Chirpie leaves out the four tools that create, list or revoke API keys or remove your own X developer app, because a revocable sign-in should not be able to mint a key that outlives it. Manage keys in the Chirpie dashboard instead. Connecting with an API key in Claude Code keeps those tools.

Is my Chirpie password shared with Claude?

No. You sign in on chirpie.ai, and Claude receives an access token for the MCP server rather than your password. Removing the connector in Claude ends its access.

Which networks can Claude post to through Chirpie?

X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Mastodon and Telegram today. Threads, Instagram and Facebook are coming soon. Claude posts to whichever of these accounts you have connected to Chirpie.
