## What is MCP?
The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is an open protocol that lets AI assistants like Claude interact with external tools and data sources. This MCP client connects Claude Desktop to your Reepl account, enabling Claude to:
- Create and manage LinkedIn post drafts
- Publish and schedule posts to LinkedIn
- Access your saved contacts, lists, and collections
- Retrieve your post templates and ideas
- Interact with all your Reepl data through natural conversation
## How It Works
This MCP client acts as a secure bridge between Claude Desktop and your Reepl account:
1. **You chat with Claude** - Ask Claude to help with LinkedIn content
2. **Claude uses Reepl tools** - Behind the scenes, Claude calls the Reepl MCP tools
3. **Tools connect to Reepl** - The client forwards requests to Reepl's API using your secure token
4. **Results come back to Claude** - Claude receives the data and responds to you
**Example workflow:**
- You: "Create a LinkedIn post about AI in healthcare"
- Claude generates the post and saves it as a draft in your Reepl account
- You: "Schedule it for tomorrow at 9 AM"
- Claude schedules the post through Reepl's scheduling system
## Quick Setup
### Prerequisites
- [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) installed
- A [Reepl account](https://app.reepl.io/signup) (free or paid)
- Node.js 18+ (for npx)
### Installation Steps
**1. Get your Reepl MCP token**
Visit [app.reepl.io/mcp-setup](https://app.reepl.io/mcp-setup) and copy your unique MCP token.
**2. Configure Claude Desktop**
Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:
- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

"reepl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"reepl-mcp-client",
"YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

```
Replace `YOUR_TOKEN_HERE` with your actual token from step 1.
