automate posting with Claude Code + MCP

connect dropspace to Claude Code using the MCP server and automate content creation, scheduling, and publishing from your terminal.

steps

1

get your API key

go to settings in the dropspace dashboard and create a new API key. select the scopes you need: launches:read, launches:write, content:write, and publish:write.

follow the principle of least privilege — only request the scopes your automation needs.

2

configure the MCP server

add the dropspace MCP server to your Claude Code configuration at ~/.claude/settings.json. set the DROPSPACE_API_KEY environment variable to your API key.

3

verify the connection

open Claude Code and ask it to 'list my dropspace launches'. if the MCP server is configured correctly, it will use the dropspace tools to fetch your launches.

4

create a launch via Claude Code

ask Claude Code to 'create a new dropspace launch about [your topic]'. the assistant will use the MCP tools to create the launch and generate content.

5

generate and review content

ask Claude Code to generate content for your launch. review the AI-generated posts for each platform and request edits if needed.

6

publish from your terminal

when the content is ready, ask Claude Code to publish the launch. it will trigger publishing across all configured platforms.

automation ideas

  • release announcements — after running a deploy, ask Claude Code to create a launch announcing the new version with a changelog summary.
  • scheduled content — use Claude Code to batch-create launches for the week, each with different content and scheduled publish times.
  • webhook-triggered flows — combine the API with webhooks to build fully autonomous content pipelines that react to events in your system.

using with Cursor

the same MCP server works with Cursor. add a .cursor/mcp.json file to your project with the same configuration. see the MCP server blog post for detailed setup instructions.
