Connect Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal assistant. It reaches Avada AI Blog Builder over HTTP using an access token — one command and you're done.

A token is read-only: Claude Code can read your posts, schedule, plan and AI token balance, but it cannot write or publish. If you want an assistant that writes, connect ChatGPT or Claude instead.

Set it up

Create an access token

On the MCP page, in the Access tokens card, click Create token, name it something like Claude Code on my laptop, and copy the token. It is shown only once — see Access tokens for the full walkthrough.

Copy the command

Scroll to Setup guide, select the Claude Code tab and copy the command under Run in your terminal. It already has your endpoint filled in:

claude mcp add --transport http avada-blog https://…/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Paste in your token

Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token you created, then run the command.

Check it worked

Start Claude Code and run:

/mcp

avada-blog should be listed as connected. Ask "how many posts does my blog have?" to confirm the tools respond.

By default the server is added for the current project only. Add --scope user to the command if you want it available in every project.

Replace the token

If you revoked the token or created a new one, remove the server and add it again with the new token:

claude mcp remove avada-blog

Then run the claude mcp add command again.

Disconnect

claude mcp remove avada-blog

Also revoke the token on the MCP page, otherwise it stays usable anywhere else you pasted it.
