# Setup Claude Code

> Connect Claude Code to MagicPost and attach local media files.

Claude Code connects directly to the remote MagicPost MCP server over
Streamable HTTP. No local MCP bridge is required.

## Connect

From a terminal, add MagicPost to the current project:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http --scope local \
  magicpost https://mcp.magicpost.in/mcp
```

Then start Claude Code and run:

```text theme={null}
/mcp
```

Select MagicPost and complete the OAuth flow in your browser. Use
`claude mcp list` or `/mcp` to verify that the server is connected.

## Attach a local file

A remote MCP server cannot read a path on your machine. MagicPost therefore
uses a signed two-step upload:

1. `prepare_post_media_upload` prepares a short-lived upload request.
2. Claude Code reads and uploads the local file over HTTPS.
3. `complete_post_media_upload` validates and attaches it to the draft.

Ask Claude Code:

> Create a LinkedIn post from this text, attach
> `/absolute/path/to/product.png`, and schedule it for tomorrow at 09:00
> Europe/Paris.

Claude Code should create the draft, prepare the upload, send the local bytes,
complete the attachment, and then schedule the post. It should surface any
same-day or exact-slot warning before forcing the schedule.

<Warning>
  Local paths only work through the prepare/complete workflow. Do not pass a
  path as `media_file` to `attach_media_to_post`; that tool expects a temporary
  file reference supplied by a compatible chat host.
</Warning>

## Supported media

See [Attach media](/mcp/media-attachments) for supported formats, size limits,
draft requirements, and troubleshooting.
