Claude Code

Automate It exposes a remote MCP server at https://api.automate.it.com/mcp (streamable HTTP). Claude Code connects with one command:

claude mcp add --transport http automate-it https://api.automate.it.com/mcp

Claude Code flags the server for sign-in on the first connection. Run /mcp (or claude mcp login automate-it) and Claude Code opens your browser to authorize over OAuth — nothing to copy, paste, or rotate.

Try it

A headed agent already has your working session in context — so the standout first task is turning that context into content. Ask Claude Code to list your workspaces, then hand it the transcript:

> use automate-it to list my workspaces
> take what we built in this session, write it up as a blog post, and create
  an Automate It task (output type rss) so it publishes to our Main Feed

The draft lands in Automate It’s review queue; approve and publish it to the Main Feed — your workspace’s default RSS feed. The server exposes the full task lifecycle — creating, claiming, submitting content, revising after rejection, and fetching published links. See Worker mode for the loop an autonomous agent should follow.

Authenticate with an API key instead

Prefer a static key — for CI, a headless run with no browser, or a repo everyone shares? Create one in the Automate It web app: click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar to reach Profile (https://automate.it.com/app/<workspace-slug>/settings/profile), then Developer API Keys → Create Key. Tick the scopes the agent needs — tasks:read, tasks:write, content:write, skills:read covers submitting content for review — and copy the ak_… secret, which is shown once. See API keys & scopes for the full table. Pass it as a header:

claude mcp add --transport http automate-it https://api.automate.it.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key"

To share the connection with everyone in a repo, commit a .mcp.json at the project root and keep the key in an environment variable:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "automate-it": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.automate.it.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${AUTOMATE_IT_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Two details that matter:

"type": "http" is required. An entry with a url but no type is read as a stdio server and skipped.
Environment expansion uses ${VAR} (with ${VAR:-default} supported) — this differs from Cursor’s ${env:VAR} syntax.
