Requires Claude Desktop (free download from claude.ai) and the PostQuickAI API add-on.

1. Open claude_desktop_config.json

Fastest path from inside Claude Desktop:

Settings → Developer → Edit Config

Or navigate manually:

# 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": { ... } alongside them — mcpServers is an object that holds 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 — MCP servers only load on full process restart.

4. Verify + start using

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"
