You need Claude Desktop (a free download from claude.ai) and a PostQuickAI plan; every plan includes API access. Your first plan has a 7-day free trial, card required.

1. Open claude_desktop_config.json

From inside Claude Desktop:

Settings → Developer → Edit Config

Or open the file yourself:

# macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# Windows
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the PostQuickAI MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postquickai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@postquickai/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTQUICKAI_API_KEY": "pq_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Already have other MCP servers? Add "postquickai": { ... } next to them. mcpServers can hold any number of entries.

3. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop

Cmd+Q on macOS or right-click the system-tray icon → Quit on Windows. Closing the window isn't enough, because MCP servers load only when the app fully restarts.

4. Check the connection and try it

Click the 🔌 plug icon in the chat input. You should see postquickai listed with its tools. Then try:

"List my PostQuickAI content groups"
"Schedule a post about our product launch for tomorrow at 10am to Twitter and LinkedIn"
"What did I post last week? Summarize by engagement."
"Generate a carousel about our onboarding flow and schedule it for Friday noon"

API and agent access

Included in every plan

Every plan includes the REST API, MCP server, Claude Skills, and AGENTS.md integration, at no extra charge.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json. Create the file if it doesn't exist.

Go to Settings → Developer → "Edit Config". Claude Desktop opens the file in your default editor, so you don't have to find it in Finder or Explorer.

Yes. Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS, right-click tray icon → Quit on Windows) and open it again. Claude Desktop loads MCP servers only at startup.

Click the 🔌 icon in the Claude Desktop chat input to see installed MCP servers, and check that postquickai is listed. You can also ask Claude to "list my PostQuickAI content groups" and see whether it calls the tool.

Claude Skills (SKILL.md packages) are a Claude Code feature today. Claude Desktop calls the MCP tools directly, so you can run the same workflows by asking in plain language. You don't get the named `/skill` commands.

Yes. The `mcpServers` object takes any number of entries, so add PostQuickAI alongside your other servers (filesystem, GitHub, etc.). Restart Claude Desktop after each change.

Troubleshooting

Connection failed

Set command to npx and provide args as an array. Restart the agent after changing its configuration.
