Aidelly connects to Claude in three ways: Claude Desktop (config file), Claude.ai (Connectors), and Claude Code (skill).

Prerequisites

An active Aidelly paid plan
An API key from Settings → API Keys in your dashboard

Option 1: Claude Desktop (MCP config)

Add Aidelly as a remote MCP server in your Claude Desktop configuration file.

1. Open the config file

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

On Windows:

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the Aidelly MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aidelly": {
      "url": "https://app.aidelly.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The Aidelly tools will appear in the tool picker.

4. Test it

Try: "Post this to my Instagram and LinkedIn."

Option 2: Claude.ai Connectors

For Claude.ai in the browser, use the Connectors feature.

In Claude.ai, go to Settings → Connectors → Add connector
Enter the MCP URL: https://app.aidelly.ai/mcp
Add the authorization header: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Save and start a new conversation — Aidelly tools are now available

Claude.ai Connectors use OAuth by default for self-serve access. If your workspace uses OAuth mode, you'll be prompted to sign in to Aidelly to authorize the connection. See OAuth Flow for details.

Option 3: Claude Code (CLI skill)

Install the Aidelly Social Autopilot skill for Claude Code. It generates platform-specific content, sends previews to your Telegram for approval, and publishes to all platforms.

npx skills add Aidelly/aidelly-social-autopilot

Follow the prompts to connect your Aidelly API key and Telegram bot. Then ask Claude Code to post — it will draft content, send a preview to Telegram, and publish on your approval.

Troubleshooting

Tools not appearing after restart Verify the config JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check that the API key is correct and your plan is active.

Authorization errors Ensure the Authorization header value starts with Bearer (with a space) followed by your key.

MCP endpoint not reachable Try a HEAD request to verify the endpoint is up:

curl -I https://app.aidelly.ai/mcp

A 200 response with an MCP-Protocol-Version header confirms the server is healthy.
